About healthifiedhaven

Hi ya'll! My name is Melissa. I have been married to my husband, Chris, for 11 years. We have two dogs--a Goldendoodle named Goldie, and a shitzu/puggle mix named Herbie. During the day my time is spent as an elementary school administrator. I have been off the health bandwagon for quite some time, but want to get my mind and body right in 2019. The Healthified Haven is where I will share some of my day to day life as I aspire to be healthified.

2014 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here's an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,200 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 37 trips to carry that many people.

Written on My Forehead

So I sit here in a hotel room watching Dr. Oz spilling tip after tip, as I have this word HEALTH written all over my forehead. Not because I am eating clean or exercising the way I used to or the way I want to be, but because I am at this hotel room with wrinkles, and headaches, and breakouts.

Some might say, “You are in a hotel; why all the stress?  You must be on vacation.”  

Ugh, not quite that luxurious.  More along the lines of a hospital hotel.  Though I am thankful.  I am thankful I am here because, well, I am with my dad. 

So as the talk show hosts go on and on about being healthy and eating right and exercising, there is still no definitive answer on how to cure cancer. 

Back for a Quick Minute

Wowzer!  I can’t believe it has been nearly a year since I last posted.  Just popping in to say “Hello.”  I often think about how much I miss this hobby, or no pay side job as it was extremely time consuming.  Just a bit on the health front–this morning I worked out with my sister for the first time since August.  And I’ve totally been slacking on any creativity and cooking in the kitchen.  My husband is lucky to get one meal a week cooked by me.  There has been a lot of craziness in my world this past year.  I may share some over the next few months when I get inspired to write or talk or share.  Bye for now; I’ll be back soon.
