For any of you Burton Nutrition or General Hospital Folks

So, last night I went to see Stone Cold and the Jackal and it was a blast, but today we're back to real life. The Stone Cold and the Jackal show was really funny. They talked a lot about General Hospital, and teased and picked on the stories and the characters. I loved it. Mr. G was lost.
After the 90minute show, the VIP ticketholders were to line up for the meet and greet. Seriously, grown women are worse than any child in these situations!! Instead of everyone just getting up and getting in line by their table, women rushed from all over, trapping folks like us in our booth. We had to "merge" into the already formed line (which they were not happy about).
I immediately started to feel unsteady, but there's nothing new about that. So I kept trying to hold on to chairs. But, I gradually became nauseated and dizzy. I seriously thought I was going to pass out! I still don't know if it was because of it being too stuffy in there, or all the people around me, or maybe I didn't eat enough (I was trying to be good, and only had two slider burgers, and one soft pretzel stick) 
 
Finally we get to the stage, and I'm really thinking I'm going to be on the floor, or get sick! (An I'm awkward in public, so anything was possible!) I step up on stage (mind you, the spotlights are on too) and it felt like one of those movies where you are the POV of the main character, and all you see are people's faces coming into the person's sight line, lol. 
First "Spinelli" (Bradford Anderson) then he comments on my shirt, then hugs me. Then there's "Jason" (Steve Burton) he says "look at those eyes, lady with the beautiful eyes" (maybe he said pretty eyes, I don't remember, but we'll go with beautiful right?)
 
>>> interesting side note, when I was a child, I got lots of compliment on my "cat" eyes. My Nunna would tell me I had eyes just like her mom.
 
I was so dumbfounded up there, I barely said a single thing to them! LOL! But, that's history repeating itself. The first time I met Kris Letang I did the same thing. Too bad it'll be more difficult to meet these guys again, unlike Letang (who I'm pretty sure he knows my face by now, haha - I'm harmless, I swear! lol)
 
I'll just be over here saving up to see them again if they ever come back to Pittsburgh...
I think we can call this Self-care - Right??

Apple Cider Vinegar - have you tried it?

I jumped on the bandwagon and ordered Goli Apple Cider Vinegar gummies. I have tried to use AVC in the past, but couldn't stand the taste. (I tried it in tea, apple juice, and water, and nope, nope, and nope) I've recently run out of my daily supplement of Green Coffee Bean (GCB) and shipping is taking forever unfortunately. Well, over the last week I have noticed that I can't eat enough; I am so snacky and so hungry (more than usual). By Wednesday, I had had enough. I was eating too much for no reason. And just like my Nunna used to say, at night when I was watching tv, I wasn't hungry, but I was craving to "chew on something". Granted, stress has been a huge factor this past week, and it will stay a factor, and let's face it, stress is always around us. I have to react better to it. And if ACV can help me not stress eat, I'll take it!  I talked to a few folks who say this ACV works and tastes good. I won't say it is "yummy" (my prob

I'm back!

So, the squats didn't work out so well. I hurt something and had to wait until it was healed to start again.  But this week we are trying to get back in the swing of things. I took liberties with dinner way too many times over the last few months (while not really feeling like myself mentally) and ordered out, ordered pizza, or made a frozen pizza for dinner. Well, that's over. My dinner plans for the next two weeks include chicken, chicken, and more chicken. (Can you hear the groans from my family?) Well, I was going to make tacos one night, but the grocery store was not only out of the taco dinner kit, but out of ground meat - soooo.... no tacos until I can get to a different store and get what I need. The slow cooker cola bbq chicken last night did not go over so well. Tonight is teriyaki grilled chicken and asparagus. I've literally been sitting for two years. As soon as the "stay at home" started I stopped trying to get my steps in. It was too hard. Mr. G was

Why it's called a Healthy Lifestyle

Why we call it learning a Healthy Lifestyle Because sometimes as adults we need to re-learn how to eat correctly. Just because we eat what we like doesn't mean it should cause us to gain 10lbs like it's nothing. And trust me, I've been there. Learning to eat healthy means making good choices every single day. It's not a diet. It's not never eating a piece of bread again. It's just making good choices. In the last year I lost AND KEPT OFF 30lbs. That is the big part for me - keeping it off. I wanted to lose 50lbs, and that didn't happen, but I kept off all that I lost, and I have to see that as a positive. I kept it off eating stuffing at Thanksgiving. I kept it off eating cookies and potatoes at Christmas. I kept it off over a bad three weeks in February that happened right at Valentine's day (so there was chocolate in the house, which we never have in the house). I was depressed and sad, and I ate. I ate EVERYTHING I could find. I wasn't proud
