Gina Alfani: lifestyle changes

Happy weekend everybody! We are having a rainy weekend in Florida, but we need the rain. I'm sorry for you guys experiencing all that snow.

That is Kiki's photo posted . . . I just wanted to see her precious little face. I miss her so much! The photo is blurry, but I took it with my phone in a dark room. It turned out to be one of my favorites.

As promised, I have gone wild with posting Christmas sweet treats that are great any time of the year. Many of these items are perfect for gift giving. Make up tins of cookies for situations like giving to a host of a party you are going to, for example. It was something I always did and I have posted the fudge recipe I used year after year. People started asking for it. Homemade treats are awesome!

It has been easier to manage the grief and I am feeling so much better emotionally and physically too since I have made several lifestyle changes.

The biggest thing is that I have continued to be a non-smoker, it has been over 2 years. Giving up sugar has proved to be equally as difficult, but my discipline is holding up great. Of course I will treat myself for a job well done for Christmas as I did for Thanksgiving when I had one piece of pumpkin pie and that was it. Pepsi that I was addicted to . . . no more! It has been weeks since I had one. My discipline has been strong and I'm proud of myself.

Have a great week everybody. Below are new blog posts.
