Today is a Good Day to Start!

I am used to keeping journals, but this is my first online one!
Asta Publications, LLC is my baby, business, and love. I started this company to assist authors in turning their dreams into reality and to leave a legacy for my children.
Being a mother and wife is no easy task, but a task I wouldn't give that task up for the world. Today is a good day to start jotting my thoughts down and hopefully I'll keep it up.

I'm on another mission and that is too lose 4o-50 pounds. I will be 40 this year and I'm vain as all Hell. I feel good about my appearance, but as we know being overweight leads to health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. I've never been a pill taker, so I need to handle my business before I have to.

I've been going to the gym consistently for three months and I am finally seeing some results. The scale is still going up and down, but I can see the difference in my clothing.

I took some diet pills today hoping to increase my metabolism. I get desperate and inpatient at times. I had a good workout at least in my mind, but when I came home, I researched the effects of diet pills and guess what? I will not be taking them anymore.

My youngest daughter and I became vegetarians three weeks ago and that has helped me somewhat. We are not vegans, because I can give up certain luxuries such as: lobster tails, King crab legs, shrimps, scallops and dairy products. We limit our seafood intake to twice a week and our dairy products are organic, except for an occasional stawberry cheescake ice cream on a sugar cone from Bruesters. If you are thinking about becoming a vegeterian check out "Meet your Meat" on You Tube, trust me you will not want to eat meat anymore...

I was a vegetarian when I was pregnant with her and continued until she was about two years of age. I must admit I was at my healthiest then. So she is used to eating tofu and veggie burgers, and drinking soymilk.

I was on my cycle last week and the flow was not heavy this time and I believe it was because I changed my diet.

Until the Next Time,
