You GUYZZZZZZZZZ I have some exciting news! Are you sitting down?
Yes??
Good ok here we go.
In case you did not know I had cochlear ear implants this recent April and last year April. It hurt like a Mofo and at first it was next to useless but I keet on listening to audiobooks while I read along in a print book. I tried understanding podcats, but I only got 80 percent and that frustrated me to no end. I was just about to give up on Friday, but I was like I will try a few more times. I am nothing if not stubborn.
I downloaded The Keto Diet Reset from Scribed, and I was like I am going to practice without the damn print book.
I started listening, and I expected to have to really focus. Well guess what
I understood every dang word. I tried cleaning, and I could understand the words just fine. I tried some podcats same thing I could understand then fine. My mouth was on the floor all day. I listened to the Keto Reset Diet straight through I was so shocked. ( It was a great book review coming soon!) I listened to podcasts, and I was like damn FINALLY my brain decided to make out words instead of garbled sounds.
This means that I cant listen to music with words while i write anymore as I can understand the words ( before I couldn’t make out words s it was good background music) I now listen to Brain.fm and it works like a charm.
I got to thinking about that now I can listen to an audiobook while I am shopping while I am being forced to attend family functions and everything. I can pretend to be having a good time while I am streaming an audiobook to my Implants!
My family was overjoyed. So am I all the hours of practice I have put in finally paid off!

I went to the gym Monday Tuesday and then Wednesday I came down with the flu. I swear I am going to start wearing a mask, so I don’t get sick. I am all better now, and I plan on going to the gym today.
I have gone down two sizes since I started working with a trainer! I am telling you if you have someone to push you to your limits is worth it. I do not weigh myself much cause muscle weighs more than fat, and if I look at the scale and see only a pound difference at this point in time, I will just get pissed off. So I only weigh myself on the 5 of the month when I take my monthly picture. I plan to start posting them here on the 6th of every month so stay tuned!
