Flexible Eating and selfish giving, aka Joyful giving

Flexible eating is good.  There are no cheat days, you don't need it.  If you want some chocolate, eat some damn chocolate.  Just plug all the info into your handy app or scan it, then make adjustments to your daily menu.  Yes, it is just that simple.  Planning takes a little time at the beginning, but once you have figured out how to use the app, you are good to go.  I hear tons of excuses from people about why they can't eat healthy, why they can't workout... the list goes on and on.  What I've come to realize, there are some people who set goals and then do everything in their power to achieve them.  Some people tell you they set goals, then they do everything to sabotage them.  Being successful isn't for everyone.  I'm very happy with the direction my eating is headed and I feel good. 

Selfish giving:  apparently what I do.  I like to call it joyful giving, because when I do something, it's because I want to and I'm happy to do it.  It doesn't matter what it is, whether helping friends, volunteering, baking for charity.. I don't do any of those things unless I want to.  Have you ever noticed someone doing something, and they just look miserable?  Yeah, that isn't going to be me ever again.  When I show up, I'm going to have a smile on my face and a pep to my step.  If more people did this, think of how happy the world would be. 

2015 is so far a pretty good year.  My best friend and her kids will be here in 9 days... YAY 

Starting next month, the year gets good for a couple of months.  Vegas for Spring Trade Show, Megan Mullally & Nick Offerman and Kevin Hart for comedy, Ed Sheeran and BottleRock Napa Music Festival.  To wind down the summer, Damien Rice in Dallas.  I'll be keeping my eyes open for concerts to get away to on weekends.  And of course, I'm always planning to see my second family in Ireland.  Not sure when that will happen, but it will!!
