Queen Latifah Quote

Hope you enjoyed this Queen Latifah quote, do let me know your thoughts on the quote in the comments below!

What’s Up With Me?

Well, not much. After a pretty fun April, May has been somewhat anticlimactic. Which I’m honestly fine with. Sometimes there are days when you just want to chill. I feel like May is filled with those kind of days for me and I like not having too much to do.

The most exciting thing that has happened this month is that I have been trying to get back to eating healthy. I dropped the ball a little in April but this month has been good. Again, I have been focusing on eating healthy not weight gain or weight loss of any kind since I think health is more important than a number on the scale. Just my opinion. I had avocado pasta today which is mostly raw and completely oil free. Plus, avocados have the good kind of fat that give you a nice *insert peach emoji*

I’m sure some of you may remember the recent book review I did for Re-Create And Celebrate by Cindy Georgakas. Well, her book launch party is going to be happening on Saturday, 20th May and I just wanted to remind you guys since you’re all more than welcome to join. I’m sure she would really appreciate it if you guys showed up (virtually). Find the instructions on how to join here.

    I loved the quote, because coincidentally I heard this same idea today already. The thing is I spent 4 hours on the phone with my brother, and this is the gist of what he told me more or less. I am happy, because we were out of touch for about 8 years. So I am going to celebrate our reunion, it’s exciting!

    That quote needs to be seen and heard by many. We lose out on such incredible ideas when people forego being themselves in pursuit of being someone else.

    I’m curious, do you put anything extra in your avocado pasta or do you keep it plain. I know a lot of people (myself included) like to put in a little bit of extra stuff lol sometimes to my own detriment.

      I very much agree. We we conform to the norms we are forcing ourselves into boxes we don’t necessary fit in.

      Yeah, I need a little extra stuff too otherwise I find it a little blend. I usually add salt, black pepper, garlic, lemon and sometimes some onion.

    Yes, I’ve tried to be extra careful with calories and fat and carbs. Still sometimes I have a craving that I just have to eat unhealthy food for a day. LOL. Yes, let’s concentrate on ourselves, know our strength, our interest etc. Recently I have been reading something about dysregulation of people who were victims of narcissistic parents. And I realize that most of my past feeling of “not being myself” or “not believing myself” is caused by the lingering trauma, not really by mistakes or superficiality or something else that I attributed my misspent life to. LOL.

      I have cheat days too because it’s hard to stop eating junk food altogether lol.
      Trauma is definitely a big part of what leads to feelings like that and low self-esteem.

          It tastes different but very good and a great way to get some extra protein into the meal. Have you tried seven grain or five grain pasta? That’s pretty good too.
