"I have run marathons. I quit smoking-COLD TURKEY! I can do this." This was my mantra as I walked past our downtown Starbucks toward our regular walking route. The siren call of caffeine was loud and persistent, but I ignored it. I don't like black coffee. I like coffee with a pint of cream and 1/2 a cup of sugar in it. So, no coffee for me. Somehow the cream and the sugar don't fit my new balanced lifestyle.
Seriously, all joking aside. My January focus of finding balance this month is to reclaim my healthy eating habits. But specifically, I need to follow the MIND-Dash Diet, an Alzheimer's disease prevention lifestyle change. This means, I don't eat the huge quantities of sugar I crave on an hourly basis. My mom is the third generation of her family to face this debilitating disease. I don't want to be the fourth. So, I have to do this. Monday morning, I was on fire with commitment and determination.
Then, I went to work.
Tuesday morning arrived, and I wanted to throw Freddie Mercury across my bedroom. But, I didn't. I went to the gym and completed my food journal for the day.
Wednesday arrived. Why does Wednesday ALWAYS wipe me out mentally and emotionally? I did not keep up with my food journal or my exercise.
Thursday. It was better, but I was really, really tired.
Friday. Hallelujah! I celebrated with sushi.
Things I learned about myself and my balancing attempts:
1. I am an "all or nothing" type of person. I remember taking an intermediate yoga class and forcing my body into the pose. The instructor, a little Indian spitfire, scolded me fiercely, "Would you treat your best friend this way?"
I would not. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were my eating habits. I need to breathe, enjoy my food, the tracking of it and the gorgeous vegetables I'm now eating. Sounds crazy, right? But, it isn't. Check out the picture below. This is what happens when I don't force. Yummy bean, basil, chicken, and tomato salad with balsamic vinegar, and I enjoyed every bite in the teacher's lounge instead of while sitting in front of my computer in my classroom.
2. For all my type A, over-achieving habits, I'm an under-achiever when it comes to finding balance. Maybe it isn't the all or nothing, type A, approach that works. Personal trainer friends of mine tell me that it is actually the little, consistent efforts that people make on a daily basis. Sigh. This is difficult for me.
This is my little weekly update. Tomorrow begins another work week. I know I won't be perfect, but I will be consistently baby-stepping.

Hello my name is Shirley, I just want to share with you what Dr. Adebayo the great spell caster saved me.I was so in love with this guy,we were both in love with each other.It hurts me so much when I find out he was having a relationship with someone else, but I was not going to surrender to defect.I tried all the seductive method i could think about and even lost the only thing i had with him that is friendship.I needed him badly that I could go to any length to have him all to myself.My friends suggested that i use a love spell on him which i did.I tried all the spell caster i could find in Africa, all they did resulted to nothing.It was so frustrating that i switched to the internet and i saw tagged ” how I got my cheating husband back ” so i contacted Dr. Adebayo with the email Claire left in her post.He did his thing and believe it worked in a short time.I had Nathan all to myself he like me became slave so to speak, we got married JUNE 18th 2020.If you want to smile again like mine just contact; poweroflovespell@gmail.com Call/WhatsApp: +2347055287754 I never knew people still have powers and make things happen this way.
ReplyDeleteHow I Got My Husband back... Am so excited to share my testimony of a spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 6 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr.Odu adebayo can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted(WhatsApp) him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and I did it and he did a spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr.odu adebayo If you have any problem contact him and I guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. you can WhatsApp him(+2347055287754)or Email him at : poweroflovespell@gmail.com.

My old aunt was contacted via text message by a person claiming to be “Jiahao.” Over several months, following Jiahao’s instructions, she purchased crypto assets on an exchange and transferred them to Vexjex.cc where Jiahao claimed they would trade crypto assets for a profit. At some point, my aunt was contacted by the website, which claimed that another person deposited money into the her account, so it froze her account as it appeared to involve money laundering. In order to unfreeze the account, the website instructed my poor aunt to deposit another $450,000. After that, she was unable to access any of her funds which had amounted to more than $1.5 million. Three weeks later, the website is no longer in operation and that’s when she opened up to me for help since I’m in the tech industry. My friend recommended CyberPunk Programmers, an organization that helps scam victims to recover their funds. I did my research beforehand and found that they have been doing a good job at it over the years, I got their contact email from their website (cyberpunkers . org) and they were so keen with the case. All told, they only needed 2 days to complete the entire transfer of $1.5 million back to my aunt.

The expanse of online investments, where the allure of financial prosperity intertwines with the shadows of deception, my journey commenced with a glimmer of optimism and concluded amidst the depths of disillusionment. In March of this year, I embarked upon what I believed to be a judicious venture—a $90,000 investment in an online platform promising boundless avenues for growth and prosperity. Little did I fathom, that this choice would unravel the fabric of my fiscal security and plunge me into a quagmire from which escape seemed improbable. Initially, the signs appeared propitious—the market surged, and my investments flourished. With each passing day, my confidence burgeoned as my funds purportedly multiplied. However, beneath the facade of success lurked a malevolent truth—a truth that would shatter my illusions and leave me grasping for answers in the depths of night.On an ostensibly ordinary eve, my world was upheaved. Retiring to bed with aspirations of financial autonomy, I awoke to a nightmare of staggering proportions. The $20,000 withdrawal I had requested remained untouched, and an ominous missive awaited me at dawn—a stark reminder of the bitter reality that awaited me. According to the correspondence, I had ostensibly squandered my entire investment overnight, liquidating all positions at a staggering loss. Bewildered and incensed, I racked my brain for any semblance of recollection, only to be met with hollow echoes where memories ought to reside. The veracity was undeniable—I had fallen prey to a nefarious machination, orchestrated by clandestine forces intent on profiteering at my expense.In the depths of despondency, I sought solace in the sole lifeline within my grasp—Cyberpunk Programmers. With trepidation and a flicker of hope, I beseeched their aid, guided by the faint whisper of potential amidst the abyss of uncertainty. From the moment of contact, I was greeted with empathy, professionalism, and unwavering resolve. Cyberpunk Programmers emerged as my stalwart ally in the quest for reparation, navigating the labyrinth of online deceit with precision and expertise. With each passing day, they imparted reassurance, counsel, and a glimmer of hope amidst the gloom. Their relentless endeavors culminated in a triumphant reclamation of my assets, restoring equity where erstwhile lay despair. I stand as a testament to the transformative prowess of Cyberpunk Programmers—a steadfast beacon amidst the tumult, a bastion of hope for those ensnared in the murky morass of deception. With profound gratitude and unwavering admiration, I extend my heartfelt commendation to Cyberpunk Programmers, whose resolute commitment to rectitude has forever altered the trajectory of my narrative.Simply visit their website CYBERPUNKERS DOT ORG or email CYBERPUNK @ PROGRAMMER .

In today's digital age, where social media and dating apps have become integral to many people's daily routines, the dynamics of relationships and the ways inferences are drawn about fidelity have evolved significantly. The discovery of a partner's infidelity can be a devastating blow to any individual, challenging the very foundation of trust and commitment that a relationship is built upon. The phrase "wife caught cheating" is not only a search term that brings to light numerous stories of heartbreak and betrayal but also underscores an increasing trend of affairs being facilitated and unearthed through digital means. From text messages to secretive social media interactions, the evidence of cheating is often hidden in plain sight, on the very devices that facilitate our closest connections. The transition from mere suspicion to considering the possibility of infidelity involves piecing together these scattered, yet related, behaviors. Observing these changes prompts a more focused scrutiny of phone records, social media interactions, and other digital footprints that could provide concrete evidence of cheating. This stage is critical as it sets the foundation for either confirming or alleviating the suspicions of infidelity. In most cases, it is difficult to get access to cheaters phones because they are cautious and implement measures like changing their passwords or being overprotective of their phones. For that, I opted to look for a way to hack her and monitor it from my end. I got hold of a phone hacker known as CyberPunk Programmers. They gave me a software which is integrated with her phone and within a day, I got all the evidence I needed, from a range of texts, photos, and phone calls. The process of getting the software was pretty easy. I only had to email them through cyberpunk (@) programmer (.) net. Communicate with them to clear your conscience.
ReplyDeleteGRAYHATHACKS CONTRACTOR HELPED ME GET PROOF THAT MY HUSBAND WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR
ReplyDeleteHi there. You know, the kind of situation where you're not sure if you're making the right decision, but you know you need answers. That's where I was a few months ago. My husband had been acting so distant, so suspicious, and so overprotective of his phone. The gut-wrenching feeling of not knowing what was happening was eating me up inside. I'd catch him smiling at his screen when he thought I wasn't looking, and then he'd quickly switch it off when I walked into the room. The whispers and secret calls were just too much to bear.
That's when I stumbled upon Grayhathacks Contractor. At first, I was skeptical, but desperation can make you consider things you never thought you would. I reached out to them, and from the get-go, they were so understanding and professional. They made me feel like I wasn't alone, like I was doing the right thing for my peace of mind. And boy, did they come through for me!
The process was surprisingly simple. They had me send over my husband's phone details, and they got to work right away. Within a week, they sent me a detailed report that had me floored. It was like they had peeled back the layers of deceit and laid bare his infidelity. The damning data they harvested from his phone and laptop was overwhelming. They found text messages, emails, and WhatsApp chats that left no doubt in my mind. He was having an affair with a colleague from work. The conversations were explicit, filled with lovey-dovey language and promises that should've been reserved for me. There were dates, times, and even hotel bookings that coincided with nights he claimed to be working late. And the photos! The raw pain of seeing those images of him with someone else is something I'll never forget.
The thing that really got me, though, was the voice memos. Hearing his voice, saying things to her that he hadn't said to me in years, was devastating. But it was also the proof I needed to finally confront him. And when I did, he couldn't lie his way out of it. The evidence was right there, cold and clear. Their spyware was top-notch. It was undetectable, and it gave me access to everything: his calls, messages, emails, social media, and even his location history. It was like having a pair of invisible eyes and ears. They even helped me understand the technical side of things, guiding me through the process of checking the data they had collected.
If you're in the same boat I was, I totally get it. The thought of hiring a hacker is daunting, but sometimes you just need to know the truth. And let me tell you, Grayhathacks Contractor will give you that truth. They're not just hackers; they're detectives of the digital age, helping people like you and me uncover the painful realities that are often hidden in plain sight.
I'm not saying what they do is pretty, but sometimes you have to get a little dirty to find the truth. And when you do, you can start to rebuild your life, piece by piece. It's been a tough journey, but thanks to Grayhathacks Contractor, I'm on the path to healing. I now know exactly what happened, and I can make informed decisions about my future.
So, if you're feeling lost and need answers, don't hesitate to reach out to them via email at grayhathacks@contractor.net. And who knows, maybe one day you'll be writing a review like this, sharing your own story of how they helped you get your life back.
