Blogging

Blogging, it has been fun and interesting. I have never blogged before so this was all new to me. I did enjoy it and the comments that I got. I didn’t think that I was going to enjoy it. I did like getting the comments on my writing and thoughts. I am not sure if I am going to continue or not. That doesn’t mean I won’t do it in the future. This was a good experience and I learned some things about myself. I liked the blogs and think it was a really good idea.

Kauai

The time that was amazing for me was not to long ago. I recently went on vacation to Kauai. Wow, it was beautiful and the weather was perfect. I went with my husband, son and husbands family. Flying in I could see the island and the water and of the lush plants. My favorite was this secret beach that we went to it was like a postcard. The sand was smooth and the water was so clear. My son was in love he didn’t want to get out. We were able to see such beautiful fish and coral. My husband and I snorkeled it was breath taking. Where we were it was full of palm trees and we were able to walk out so far into the water since it was rock underneath for miles and out in the distance the waves were crashing. Another event was the luau we went to, it was really cool. We toured the gardens ate and saw the pig roasting and saw the dancers. The food was so good and so much to choose from. Honestly the fruit was amazing. It was so juicy and sweet a perfect ending to the meal. The dancers were so entertaining they told stories and used fire and beautiful costumes. The beautiful scenery of Kauai was heaven it was so green and the air was so fresh. The whole trip was so great the best part was being with my family. My husband and son made this trip unforgettable.

Meat is it what's for dinner?

I thought of reviewing a no meat eating diet. I have recently tried to go back to only eating fish, and still getting my nutrients that I need. If anyone is interested about this here is some information I gathered. A lot of people think that it is unhealthy to exclude meat, chicken, pork, etc from your daily diet. I want to share that you can get a good amount of protein and nutrition from this. There are some amazing brands that have a variety of options, and tastes really good. My favorite is the Morning Star non-chicken patties. They tastes really good, it has a crunchy crust and a hearty flavor. It is a great substitute for chicken patties and not as fatty. Other brands I would recommend are Boca burgers and Andreas. There are enchiladas, lasagna, and pizzas, really anything you can think of. In my opinion it tastes better and it has a good amount of protein. Another way to substitute protein is by adding tofu, it woks great! Tofu really has no taste so whatever sauces you cook it in or smoothies it takes that taste. I know for me it was hard in the beginning when I had no idea about what I was going to eat and if it was healthy for me. So if anyone is interested in trying any of these products I would recommend it. I think most people would be surprised at how nutritious and good it is.

Fast Food Nation

After reading Fast Food Nation, I was really glad that I did. I learned so much about the fast food industry. It really has changed my views on fast food and eating there. I could not believe some of the things that I read. After reading each chapter I found myself telling my husband about the information I learned. The chapter that really disturbed me was the meat chapter. Learning about all the different chemicals that were put into the food to give it flavor surprised me too. I can’t believe that the fast food industry can do the things they do.
Like I had mentioned before about the meat chapter, that stuck with me. Honestly, now when I see the fast food billboards I get grossed out. It really was sad, and disturbing. I used to only eat fish for two years and I started eating meat again. I was really healthy and got all my nutrients despite what some may say. I was debating going back to just fish and after reading this I want to even more. I am going on vacation with my husband and his family so it may be hard if everyone thinks I’m not eating meat. It really is a social thing, I realized that from before people think it is harder to accommodate you. I’m just going to do it again and not mention anything at first. As of right now I have no craving for meat and even chicken at all so I’ll just see how it goes.

My thuth and this semester

My Truth: I am three months pregnant and excited!

I started this semester out hoping to do well in my classes. I am really happy that I stuck to it. For a while it was hard to stick all the way through the semester. Now I feel like I am able to focus more and stay motivated. Don’t get me wrong at times it gets hard with family and school, but it works out. For me finishing this English class is an accomplishment. I took English two other times before this and stopped in the middle. I am happy with my progress and so happy to finish the class without dropping it.
This semester I started taking a political science class along with this class and kickboxing. I did decide to drop my political science class but I am happy I did. I really didn’t connect with the way the teacher taught or tried to organize the work, it wasn’t the right class for me. I felt that it did give me more time to concentrate on my other classes. It was hard being away from my son for six hours two days out of the week. That is what makes things difficult I want to get my schooling done and also be spend good time with my son. I am happy for this semester and school in general. I am currently pregnant and know that I will take at least two semesters off. My son is what motivated me to keep going to school and I will. With another baby on the way I know it will take longer to finish but I won’t let that stop me. I think that little by little I will get to my goal. I think of it as I can do one or two classes and spend time with my family. In a few years from now those two classes at a time will add up and I will be happy I continued my schooling and was able to be there with my kids.
