Happy Tuesday, everyone! If you’ve been keeping up, you know I’ve had quite a few realizations as of late. If you’re joining in late, you can read this and then this. Suffice it to say that I’ve been putting in a great deal of mental work lately, and now it’s time to follow it up [...]

A bit of an ah-ha (to put it mildly!)

Tonya commented on my last post, and was very honest about the fact that after reading this blog for over a year, she sees a pattern. She took a risk, because she wasn’t sure how I’d react to so much honesty, but I am so glad she did. It was exactly what I needed [...]

I’ve been struggling for about a week. Hell, let’s be honest, I’ve been struggling for more than two years. Well, if we’re really going to be honest, I’ve been struggling for the past 10 years. But things really went into high gear beginning on Monday. I was tired exhausted from staying up all night grading [...]

I cannot believe that it’s been over a week since I posted something on this blog. Sorry for the disappearing act. I’ve been busy with the holidays, but I’ve also been working a lot out in my head lately and didn’t want to come back to the blog until I’d worked some things out. More [...]

Happy Friday! There’s something about cloudy Fridays that put me into a good mood. I love the idea of wearing warmer clothes, getting comfy and enjoying the day inside. Plus, today I have a minimum day at school, which means I get to leave at 11:30. But don’t be too jealous – I have a [...]
Sweet (Skinny) Dreams?

Lately I’ve been doing OK with my eating and working out (overall), yet there is this underlying feeling of frustration that the 34 lbs that I need to lose in order to get on the waiting list for lap band surgery isn’t coming off as quickly as I’d like or feel that it should. Part [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I love this time of year – the cooler weather, the clothes, the crisp air, and the early nights. Although that last one has been proving to be a bit troublesome when it comes to fitting workouts into my schedule. Now that it’s darker earlier, I have the tendency to want to [...]

Last night one of my cousin’s came over to my house for the first time, and he was truly impressed with it. He couldn’t get over how large it was, the size of my yard (not that it’s THAT big, but for a rental), how great the “flow” is for entertaining, and how I’ve decorated [...]

Here it is, Week #2 of the Countdown to Christmas/NYE Challenge, and somehow I forgot to post last week’s update. I guess we can chalk that one up to leading a busy life, right? It’s not too late for you to join in on the challenge: Choose a specific, realistic goal that you can achieve [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! This week has been going so well – I’ve been sticking to my calories (with some indulgences on Saturday), working out regularly, and tracking all of it. I came to some hard truths about myself on Thursday, and while it was difficult, self-realization and the honesty that comes with it is worth [...]
