My new Morning ritual to start my day off right

Bychronicradiance November 6, 2022February 26, 2025

I’m pretty excited that my nutritionist gave me a new protocol to follow in the morning. I needed to get my body going before I go to the gym. I was doing OK with just collagen, water, and a small carbohydrate snack like an apple, but it wasn’t satisfying me. So this morning I tried…

Fixing a closet to nowhere. I can do this!

Bychronicradiance November 5, 2022February 26, 2025

3 days. It’s what I planned to take for completing a task that seems rather impossible. Especially for someone with mobility issues holding two crutches, is kind of tough when you have to open the door to a door. It wasn’t until I asked myself why is it so difficult for me? That I realized…

Bychronicradiance November 4, 2022February 26, 2025

Organization is pretty high up on my list of virtues to improve. I chose planning as my first, but then organization is my very close if not equal second. Last week I enjoyed planning, my meals better, or at least I thought it would be a better way to plan my meals. Until I had…

Screeech! Brakes on! Why no more meal prep!

Bychronicradiance November 2, 2022February 26, 2025

So that’s it. I had to put a halt to a process that was just taking way too much time and causing me too much pain. Meal prep. I’m just saying the term meal prep is nothing much. It’s just a matter of chopping some vegetables preparing ingredients for someone to cook later. It’s usually…

Recipe – Airfryer Spinach Eggwhite Bites Non-Dairy

Bychronicradiance November 1, 2022February 26, 2025

This is a super easy recipe for making egg white bites in the air fryer. I guess you could make them in the oven in a muffin tin, in fact, I think that’s what I used to do before I had an air fryer. The air fryer is a lifesaver for me so I can’t…

Meal Prepping Saves the Day

Bychronicradiance November 1, 2022February 26, 2025

In my first week of I have upped my game in the food prep area. It’s important to me to make sure that I eat a good home cooked meal every night, but it doesn’t happen unless I do it in the morning. I plan what I’m going to have for dinner, talk with my…

Bychronicradiance October 31, 2022February 26, 2025

Today will be the end of week one for my trial run of the 13 virtues, self improvement project. This was inspired by Benjamin Franklin’s 13 virtues, and I have replaced virtues with one’s of my own. Ones that I can always improve upon, every 13 weeks. That means four times a year. I wanted…

Can’t be can be a treat. But when you’re a little kid and candy is being shoved into your Halloween, trick-or-treat basket handover fist, at this point, it becomes overload Sure, I used to love Halloween as a kid, I pretty much had to do it yourself costumes, money wasn’t readily available when I was…

COVID Booster knocked me down but I’m Back!

Bychronicradiance October 29, 2022February 26, 2025

I got my booster shot on Wednesday at 4:30 in the afternoon, when my township was offering them for free. All you had to do was register. I remember a time not too long ago when appointments were impossible to get and now they ask you if you want Pfizer or Moderno. Like we had…

Ouch! Elbow Rescued from a Handrail with a Screwdriver

Bychronicradiance October 28, 2022February 26, 2025

If you asked me to do it again, I don’t think I could in 1 million years. It was just the way that I put my elbow on the railing for a moment that it slipped in between the wall and the metal railing. When I went to pull it out, my elbow had twisted…
