Day Four

Today is day four of taking my eating, exercising and not shopping/spending serious... and I am slowly getting excited about it.   Yesterday for dinner, I had something that I normally would never eat, I had a piece of fish, a big portion of broccoli and carrots. It feels so good to eat healthy, well minus the undigested , nagging stomach ache feeling I have had since I ate at 6 pm yesterday  :(  Needless to say I didn't overly exercise, I did get in about 9,200 steps and stayed close to 1200 calories, so I don't feel to horrible.

I made an awesome fall wreath to hang on my front door yesterday and I also created my new Facebook page. "Stacie's crafty creations". Well my little sister created it, now I have to maintain it and get a bunch of crafts listed on it to sell. We will see....... 

Tonight after work I am going to treat myself to a massage, I bought a Groupon months ago, way before I started living off the closet, and  had tried several times to schedule it but could never find a good time. I don't know how much living off the closet Ill do tonight, I have a list of items I need to get done, due to a very very busy weekend, but maybe I'll sneak something in... I have a basket full of cosmetics I want to start using, and trying out, so maybe I will document some of the items I have and  do a few before and after pictures. Ill give my opinion on what is keep-able and what is trash-able .

I am going to attempt to make "mocked mashed potatoes" for dinner tonight, you replace cauliflower for the potatoes, it makes it healthier for someone like me who has high triglycerides, I need to severely reduce if not eliminate, sugar and carbs from my diet. I also am making my friend Julie and her family Gluten Free Banana Muffins. I am going to her house tomorrow night for a girls night in, we are going to attempt to paint a picture we found and she always feeds me a super healthy dinner, so I thought I would treat her to some muffins!  I will have pics of both the mashed cauli and muffins posted tomorrow. 

I also had an idea that I want to try in the next few weeks - you know when I am not busy working, creating crafts and gifts, eating healthy, working out, blogging, cleaning, etc....   haha. Anyways, one of the first posts I made on my blog were some pictures showing you all the closets I planned on living off of. The one closet was the master bedroom walk in closet and let me tell you it is packed to the rim with stuff; my idea is to take 4 of 5 items of clothing and pair them with different shoes, jewelry, scarves, jackets, accessories, I want to take a few pictures with different items and then post the pics and let others decide what looks best, get some feedback and suggestions on what looks the best and other idea on what would work the best.  I really like this idea, I think I will definitely do this.... but now I am having another thought......

I wonder how many people have blogs that nobody reads, I am sure I have nobody is regularly reading mine and at first I thought, "how sad" but then I thought, this is for me really, not anybody else so what is the difference and I made peace with my lonely lil blog, ok ok ok  I cant lie, I secretly wish 1,000.000  people would read it.. regardless if I want a million readers or not, if nobody does read it, I guess my idea about reader feedback is not going to work...  :( Booooo  











Off to work, my fabulous friends....  see you tomorrow!

  1. I like the idea of showing how the makeup products work. Zoella (who bought a house with the money she makes from blogging and Youtube) started off that way. I'd suggest using pinterest and seeing some suggestions for getting followers - although you're right, it is not for anyone else as much as for you. Still, it's always nice to have a little discussion.
