Motivation Monday - Who Are You Influencing?
This weekend, Celesta was out of town, so I took my three daughters to watch my oldest swim at a meet in The Woodlands. We drove an hour, dropped off Kaeli, then I spent an hour with my two youngest for them to eat an early dinner. After they ate, we went to the natatorium to watch Kaeli swim, which took about another hour. When Kaeli was changed and dry, we went to a restaurant for her and me to eat dinner. Our dinner took another hour.

Does Stress Cause Weight Gain?
How Stress Impacts Our Weight

I've Had Multiple Panic Attacks Today. What now?
What’s a Panic Attack
A panic attack is like your body's fire drill, but it happens at the worst times—randomly. Imagine feeling an overwhelming sense of fear and doom, coupled with physical symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, trembling, and sweating. It's like your body is convinced there's a lion in the room, even if your logical mind knows there isn't.
