New Year means a new me!

So we made it past Xmas! It was such a hit, Jorja got all the stuff she wanted and then some! I made it out without buying one Frozen toy so I consider it a win-win. I am enjoying this week I get to spend with her while she is on her vacation. We are having lots of fun playing with her Monster High Dolls and Barbies. 

I have done a lot of stuff I kept putting off this year. I am amazed that I actually followed through with it. As much as I got done, I still procrastinated way too much. I hate it, I always think I should do this or that, never do then feel guilty when it's not done. I absolutely hate that feeling. It makes me depressed and have way too much anxiety.

Everyone always has a list of things they will do on the New Year, and yeah I might have had one here or there. I never kept up with it. Don't get me wrong, I make lists all the time. Since I have ADHD I feel it benefits me more if I have a list as to not having one. I do this pretty much with everything, and sometimes I kept right on the list when I go shopping.

My New Years Resolution 
Get my B12 levels higher, so Im not sick as much.
Change my ADHD meds
Spend more time with Jorja.
Spend more date time with my love.
Exercise more, read more.
Be more positive and outgoing.

What are yours? Have you ever kept them for more than a week??

Review of Spark Energy drink.

I have ADHD-inattentive and I have decided to stop medicating myself. I had a real hard time changing from one medication to another. This summer I found myself getting really sick, dizzy and I felt like fainting a few times. So I decided not to take it any longer. As I have always done in the past I had to research other ways to deal with my issues.

I have tried, green tea pills, many cups of coffee, a herbal calm pill, a herbal focus pill and now I am trying Spark Energy Drink from Advocare.

I got this in the mail on Saturday. I ordered the strawberry-mango flavor and the shipping was really fast. In fact the delivery was scheduled for thursday. So I received it a few days sooner.

You mix a scoop in 8oz of water. Although it doesn't mix too tell, even then it's not too bad. Actually Jorja took a sip and thought it didn't taste too bad. I had previously tried the fruit punch flavor. I do not recommend it, unless you are a fan of the fruit punch juice which I am not.

The drink was very tangy. I had no problem with the taste and found myself drinking it really fast. I felt a instant rush of energy, not too jarring and soon I found myself getting energized. But not too caffeinated out. I have to say I really like drinking this drink.

does it help my ADHD, yes, not like any medications would. But it's not like any medication so therefore it's kinda better?...maybe?????

So tomorrow will be day 3 I will update more later. Right now I will say it helps me with my focus about a 6. So far so good.

In my opinion Spark does nothing for me, like really nothing. I get better results from RedBull. I have 1-2 daily, and actually am so mellow I go right back to sleep. I am beginning to wonder is Placebo or not, or if the reviewers that I read actually work for the company. I will not be purchasing this again.

As of right now I have completely finished with Xmas. Yes, you heard it right. completely done! And only 8 more presents to wrap. I had most of it done with just 2 days of online shopping. I do see a future where online shopping, (at least for major shopping) will take over actually shopping...well I can always dream about a perfect world, can't I?!

With just over 2 weeks to go in this semester. I have to say my Word Processing Class, is horrible. I have nightmares about this class. Nothing I can do, will make this class less hell-ish. This will totally bring down my GPA. I just hope, to pass it and never take it again.

So since I have Amazon prime, I started watching more tv series. Last month I watched, The Shield (not that great but I watched it all), Veronica Mars (which just watching the movie completely will save you the trouble of watching the 4 seasons) and Southland, (which wasn't that interesting). Although it seems like I watch a lot of tv, however I don't have cable so most of my entertainment is online. I am still watching my other shows each week. I have to keep busy on my days off....just counting down the days until Scandal comes back on. haha. I just love, Homeland I am dying to see how it ends, the Middle-which is Jorja's favorite and Survivor. I cannot wait to see who wins this season.

Today is my birthday, don't ask me how old I am. I stopped counting many years ago and right now I feel old. Maybe next week I won't feel as old. I didn't really do too much but set back and watch Jorja play and just be really happy to have such a great child who loves me unconditionally. 

I have to finish up this boring update. You should have known that at least one of my updates would be so not interesting.

until next time.
