One of the fun things about having a weightloss blog is that I get to share the weirdest, strangest things that are associated with losing a large amount of fat. I was a big girl. Like I’ve said on a number of occasions, I don’t have a problem with big, I have a problem with … [Read more…]
This was a straight-up, solid week. I’m not impressed with the quantity of workouts, but I am pleased with my nutrition and that I actually got out on more than two occasions to haul my tail around the block a few times. Tracking my food this week allowed me to see that I’m still eating … [Read more…]

I’m not sure a Seattlite who does not ride horses in any capacity should be sporting a cowboy hat while … [Read more…]

You can quit trying early and just pass go, collect your paycheck as you round the corner and passively surf through, the equivalent of … [Read more…]
I make a lot of deals with myself. You may be aware of my most current deals: *When I get to my goal weight of 170 or less, I get to seriously explore plastic surgery for my tummy. *When I weigh less than 200 I get eyelash extensions. But I also make smaller, day-to-day, minute-by-minute … [Read more…]
There was running today. Of course, this was after the working and teaching and hot gluing a million little horses, hay bits and cardboard to the various projects presently in my classroom for our museum on pioneer history. I’ve assisted in two barns, one school, three homesteads, six covered wagons, seeing, cooking and I don’t … [Read more…]
