I was feeling all in control. Psychotically in control. Remember how I wrote that article about how I wasn’t eating enough and being a weirdo? Oh my. The winds of change. I had a few glasses of gluhwein (ermehgerd so yum), a few more salty snacks than usual, a few pieces of fudge… I woke … [Read more…]
You can always tell when I like a picture that I take of myself. The picture I took Thursday surprised me so I started making the infamous comparison pictures… The difference here is about five years and 130 pounds. 130! Isn’t that amazing? Like, my chin looks so incredibly different, but my eyes are so … [Read more…]
Let me just start off by saying this is a really weird post for me to write. It’s super awkward and embarrassing and immodest to talk about what I’m going to talk about. That said, changes are underfoot and I’m dedicated to acknowledging and recording my experiences… Before I get rolling here, I also need … [Read more…]
This morning I woke up and got on the scale. I was pleased to see that I’m still right around 210- I’m hitting 209-213 regularly lately- but as I stepped off the scale I just felt drained of the whole thing. There comes a point in any project that you feel done but aren’t done. … [Read more…]
What’s the goal? To actually RUN finally. To follow through on my workout! Then to post about it on my website. I’ve done both of those things now. 🙂 And if I were a bare minimum kind of girl, I would be done about now. Ha ha! But I’m not. I have to tell you … [Read more…]

Perhaps, just possibly, you may have noticed a lack of posts lately. That’s because I have been in DISNEYLAND! Yup. Dreams come true and magic exists. People ask why we go Disneyland and nowhere else all of the time for our big vacations. For us, it’s just easy. Like, you get there and it’s pretty … [Read more…]
Black Friday usually consists of a few things for us Lj’s. First, we ALWAYS go to the Macy’s Santa Parade where Santa welcomes in the new holiday season then sets up shop in the downtown department store. Then we usually hit the downtown Target (and often the Old navy). Being downtown, people have to find … [Read more…]
Somehow my body knew I needed an extra pick-me-up today. I woke up and found out that I weigh… 213!!! Thank you, body. 🙂 We went for a run today. We did 3.1 miles as a run then walked 1.6 with the kids. Now we are prepping for tofurkey and Brussels sprouts. Yummmm! Happy Thanksgiving!
Life is tricky right now. There is a huge list of things that are making me stop, paralyzed, and freeze in my life. I’m not writing, reading, running, playing… I’m just. Hardly present. In a whirlwind. Work is hard right now. I won’t air my dirty laundry any more than to say I have a … [Read more…]
