8 weeks. 56 days. That is how long between now and my Winter Break. It is also the length of time until I reach my mini goal of losing 45 lbs. By December 17th, I will have hit it. Mark my words. I am over halfway there, having lost 23 lbs so far, and nothing [...]

It’s been a while since I did an Outfits of the Day Fashion Friday post, so this one is full of photos from the past week or so. This first outfit is from Monday, October 17th, day dreaded day that I got that terrible flu. I love this outfit, and it was perfect to wear [...]

Happy Monday! Today has been the BEST! Not only did I step on the scale and see that I lost 1.2 lbs, putting me into the next weight “decade,” but when I got to work, I got four separate compliments on my outfit! Gotta love days that start like that, right? I missed last week’s [...]
The Upside of the Flu

Even though it was absolutely no fun to have the flu because I felt so miserable, now that I’m past the worst of it, I can see a bit of the silver lining. The main thing was that I’d been in a huge rut/pattern of overeating/making the wrong choices for a few weeks. Not being [...]
Sick… and Disappointed

I’ve been down for the count these past couple of days with a nasty flu. The aches, the pains, the headaches, and worst of all, my stomach has been nauseous and in knots. Every time I think I’m feeling a bit better and I eat something like soup, I pay for it about 20 minutes [...]

Today one of my good friends (LMK) and one of my high school/FB friends (JNB) participated in the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco. Both of them ran in the half marathon and both of them finished. I’m really proud of both of them, because running those hills in San Fran is no joke. They [...]

I don’t have any major events to report from this weekend. It’s been a nice, mellow weekend. Sofi and I went on a couple of nice walks, I’ve been getting things cleaned and organized around the house, and I got back on track with my weight loss plan. First, here’s a video about the food [...]
OOTW: The Heat is Back
Posted in feeling good, life, self esteem, weight loss, tagged clothes, fashion, OOTW, outfits, Outfits of the Week, Plus size fashion on October 14, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Remember the title of last week’s OOTW post: A Chill in the Air? Ya, well, this week it was all about the heat. And not our normal summer heat, but a weird, humid heat that is usually (thankfully) reserved for the east coast. Luckily, I haven’t put away any of my summer clothes yet, so [...]
Today’s Plan
Posted in weight loss on October 11, 2011 | 9 Comments »
I saw this on Facebook yesterday, posted by a UK site called Pure Nourishment, and I knew I had to post it on this blog. The sentiment ties in with the idea of loving myself enough to do good things for myself. Taking care of me. Treating myself with as much kindness as I would [...]
