I’m proud to say that I earned my #30daychip yesterday! What a long and arduous month it was. I stayed strong even in the face of terrible tragedy. I’m very proud of myself for this accomplishment. Now I know that I can do ANYTHING I set my mind to. I can’t wait to see what [...]

It’s hard to believe that my life has been changed so dramatically in one week’s time, but it has. As I mentioned yesterday, even though this past week was one of the worst in my life, I stayed on plan. That in itself is a major NSV, but today it’s time to celebrate some victories [...]

Many of you know that ScaleWarfare and I are BFFs in blogland. We’ve never met in person, but we’ve been friends for a couple of years via our blogs. About a year ago (more now) SW and I started emailing each other our daily food logs to keep each other accountable, for encouragement, and for [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone!! (I jumped the gun last week when I had this button on my post; I missed it by 0.4. I can GUARANTEE that I’ve earned it this week. Of course, the official weigh-in is tomorrow). Most of you know that this past week was one of the worst of my life. It’s [...]

Once again, thank you to everyone who has left such heartfelt comments on this blog. The love has been overwhelming and has helped me so much. A few of my friends have mentioned how strong I am or how “healthy” my outlook is. I suppose that’s true. To me, I’m just going with what feels [...]
Memorializing Lulu: A day of acceptance, remembrance, and healing
Posted in life, tagged acceptance, death, healing, heartbreak, losing a pet, loss, Lulu!, remembrance, sorrow on March 25, 2011 | 6 Comments »
I woke up today feeling stronger. I’d cried and cried all day yesterday, and each time I was asked what had happened, and then I had to recount the terrible tale of Lulu’s death, I started crying all over again. It was awful. I definitely miscalculated going in to work. I thought it would do [...]
Over the Rainbow

I really have no words to say this, but I feel as if I have to. A piece of me is gone today. My sweet Lulu was hit and killed by a car. It doesn’t seem real. I cannot express my sadness and sense of loss. I am really beside myself. She meant everything to [...]
Weigh-In Wednesday: Medifast, Week 6

Today was the first time in six weeks that I wasn’t too confident getting on the scale. I’ve been faithful in following Medifast, but I’ve been up all week in my peeks at the scale. So as much as I wanted to hit the 20 lb milestone today, I was just hoping for any loss. [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone!! It’s a thrill to know that I’ve almost (like 0.6 lbs away) earned this new badge. My official weigh-in day is tomorrow, so check back then to see exactly how much I’ve lost in 6 weeks. As I mentioned on Sunday, it’s now officially the spring season, yet the weather forecast [...]

Yes, I do realize that today was the first day of spring, but when the weather outside looks like this, it’s stew weather no matter what the calendar says. The photo didn’t capture it, but it was pouring down rain for most of the day today. The bad news is they’re predicting rain for the [...]
