What's it all about

Welcome to my blog!

This is my fitness? uhm healthy eating? no, no..  Self Improvement?  (yes!) journey.

YES! 

It has an adult content warning.

WHY? 

Because I will sometimes be using foul language!

Cursing usually accompanies me when I am either exercising, or having a severe craving.
:)
I'll also be very honest in my posts.

IF this offends you please feel free to stop reading.

Why is it called Powdered Sugar Princess? (seeing as I am an "adult"and certainly not a Princess)

Well, for one thing, I am completely addicted to sugar. So addicted in fact that I've often just stuck a spoon into a bag of powdered sugar and eaten it.

I also make things out of powered sugar to eat.

Powdered sugar, milk, butter and cocoa - eaten with a spoon

Powered sugar, milk, butter and vanilla - spoon it up!

So - basically, I'm gross and I know it. and I have to stop!

Truthfully, I'm addicted to food in general but mainly sweets.

I've often forgone main meals and just eaten a few handfuls of Hershey Kisses with a Diet Coke chaser back in the day.

Halloween candy doesn't stand a chance in this house hold - it's never made it past November 15th.

All in all, I have VERY unhealthy eating habits. I always have.

I'd like to break these habits and get on a journey to more healthy eating AND work my way into exercising.

We all have a starting point.

I feel like right now I'm pretty much at a negative 5 maybe.

On top of poor eating, I don't exercise.

I'm in pain most of the day from stomach muscle and back problems from carrying / delivering my twins and I get about 4 hours of sleep nightly.

NOT a good recipe for working out.

So, I'm hoping to pin point what I need to do and where I'd like to be one year from now.

I think there are about 4 main things that hold me back from what I'd like to be doing for myself and my kids.

Time, Money, Sleep and ME

 ME being the biggest hurdle I'll have to over come.

Time and Money I hope to work around.

I can't afford gym memberships, diet aids, shakes, pills or wraps. I also have to work around the small amounts of free time that I have.

Honestly, I don't believe in diet aids.
I know, I know - Don't write me off just yet.
You don't have to agree with me on that one.

So, don't let that statement derail you from checking out what I have to say or any progress I make.

Many people swear by them, and I am not trying to knock anything, I just don't believe they are good for long term management of health in reality.

I believe in finding something that I can do for the rest of my life, a better way of life if you will. Not something where I don't eat what the family is eating for dinner. It has to fit in with all our lives.


Anyways, as far as other hurdles -

Sleep - Sleep I can not control yet, but hopefully as my babies age, things will allow us all to sleep better and me some rest so that I can exercise more and more.

Now that I have those things laid out, I think that after Christmas I'll be at a better place to begin to figure out exactly WHAT I'm going to do here.

My main goals are going to be:

Eating better - maybe not 100% organic, fresh off the farm, out of my backyard, nothing processed kind of way - but something better then what I've been doing in general.
I do love veggies, so there is a small start - add in more veggies CHECK!

Exercising to gain strength and yes, to lose weight.

Finding a plan to daily wellness. - That's pretty vague, but that's what I hope to accomplish in general.

SO (I'm going to use that word a lot! and exclamation points.. I like those and these things - - - as well as " " I like those too... and three periods... ) Basically I'm typing like I talk. The three periods are where I take a break and possible raise my eyebrow.. or just stare. Ha!

IF you'd like to blog with me, I know the "Blogger" ropes pretty well. I've been blogging since about 2008 (shhhhh!)

I'm always around on Facebook or here through email to help you set up a blogger, figure out the settings (comments, adding backgrounds or templates) even making your own personalized headers!
