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??

My nemisis

I am failing miserably at this diet thing... I just want to look better and feel better and be healthy. The pandemic did me in...I'm serious. Suddenly I was no longer alone in the house, which was nice, but it turned me from getting my steps in while watching tv, and trying a new on-demand exercise routine to sitting. Mr. G working in the other room has me more self conscious about doing any of those things that I used to. And yes, that's a ME problem. Then there was the community panic of "Stores are going to run out of food!" So we were buying anything we could find in anticipation for empty shelves. (Now we know the only shelves that went empty were toilet paper, paper towels, I'm hearing baby formula, and cat food. Then breakfast sandwiches-which was odd.) But I went from buying all fresh veggies and proteins to whatever I could find. I still don't eat frozen chicken nuggets or strips, and I do make frozen fresh chicken. BUT my eating habits went crazy. I ...

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 ...

Out of the Darkness Walk 2019 - American Foundation for Suicide Awareness

On Saturday, we walked in the Out of the Darkness walk in Pittsburgh. We had a team of 10 people, and we walked in memory of our close family friend, Ricky Banas. Ricky was always laughing and joking (even as inappropriate as some of his jokes were, LOL!) None of us saw this coming... He was one amazing guy. He was like an older brother to all of us kids on the street. And Saturday, two of those "kids", who are now grown with families, walked in memory of him. My son was lucky enough to get to know Ricky. He got to have him in his life for 14 years. We even met up with a few of Ricky's family and friends at the walk. And I'll be there every year. The walk was along the riverfront, so along with beautiful views, it was about a 5k. I wish I could say that I did the whole 5k, but I only did half. It was hot, and most of our group wanted to stop after the first half. Next year I will do the whole 5k. Bring it on 2020!! Our team, Team Ricky, rais...
