Hello and welcome to my corner of the internet. I am Hillary, and I look forward to getting to know you!

As you can see, this is primarily a blog about books. Way back when I was diagnosed with a mental illness, the doctor told me was to find a hobby I enjoy and treat it like a job because if you sit around and not do anything, that will put you on the fast track of sinking into self-pity and THAT is even harder to escape than the original illness. It is essential to find something meaningful to YOY that you don’t mind cultivating megs skills with… For me, it is blogging for you; it was maybe cooking. So  After thinking it over for a few months, II came up with Adventures in never-never land and Started blogging…

 

I have to admit that blogging is an expensive hobby, but it combines allll my passions, so I feel it is worth the money. It allows plenty of room for my creativity, and I love 99 percent of the whole blogging adventures, so I think paying for a host and things like that are well worth the money.

 

SOOOO What is this blog about anyway?

 

While 95 percent of the context here is on books, I recently added weight loss while taking an antipsychotic. Like everyone else who is on psychotics, I have the misfortune of tremendous weight gain.  Since I am stable and not fighting imaginary demons, I am focusing damn hard to get this weight off. I use  Weight Watchers to track everything, and while weight loss is way slower on antipsychotics, it is POSSIBLE. I have been doing the Tone it Up workout for two years. I find that among every other health benefit that exercise has, it also helps my anxiety. I am at the point where working out feels good and not like an ancient form of torture; it is relatively easy to do it and fit it in, but it took me a long time to get to this point. And to be honest, I am still not entirely there yet.

So there you have it. In a nutshell, this blog is about books and weight loss.
