• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: Back at it, and the anxiety isn’t all gone yet…   1 year, 2 months ago
  

  So, I’m now officially home working here from my house full time. It has been a really cool experience so far, but also pretty terrifying. I mean wow, it’s doesn’t matter how much time I put into this as much as it matters how well I do at it. There is no garuntee that says, [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: A New Life…   1 year, 2 months ago
  

  So, the last five months have taken me through so REALLY rough stuff in life. Along the way there were also wonderful moments and a winter full of holidays and feasting with friends. I ended up dealing with extreme exhaustion and what turned out to low vitamin D. I also found out my cholesterol is [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: sheepish restart   1 year, 7 months ago
  

  Oh yeah, it’s that time again. I’ve let the fitness goals go and now it’s time to start. Thankfully, I am not starting over from the beginning again. Finally life has settled a little and I’ve developed the resolve to stick with this even when life fights me all the way. I decided not to [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: another day another pound… yes pound.   1 year, 10 months ago
  

  Well, about a pound per day. I can’t wait to get onto the scale tomorrow morning. I have been doing so well. I quit wheat finally. I just made the decision and quit. This means way way more veggies and fruit and protein. Sadly pasta and rice, being cheap and easy foods, had taken [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: think twice, please…   1 year, 10 months ago
  

  To all those people out there recently out of relationships:
  We’ve all done it, rebounded on this perfectly nice, fun person, who we know isn’t going to stay in our lives. Then when we have put ourselves together with their help, a lot of us move on to have perfectly successful happy lives, with someone else. [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: skinny food = eye opening afternoon   1 year, 10 months ago
  

  Hey y’all. So, have you ever gotten to that unbreakable plateau in your wieght loss and pretty soon you are looking at what was once a “great accomplishment” and seeing how little of the big picture it is. I have been feeling like that a lot lately. I lost somewhere around 30 to 35 [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: you are my sunshine!   1 year, 10 months ago
  

  Ah, the power of a little sunshine and sleep! I did survive the eight crazy days at work. I will have to try to get back to sleep just 10 hours after rolling out of bed, so as to be alert for work EARLY tomorrow. But, that doesn’t even bother me right now. I just [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: overwhelmed   1 year, 10 months ago
  

  Oh, yeah… today that is the one word out there that explains how I am feeling. I have worked 7 days in a row, and the last few have been exhausting over night shifts. I am tired and emotional and we have at least another four days or so of work that have to be [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: Getting back to it…   1 year, 10 months ago
  

  So, I finally broke down thru the 240 mark. Barely, but I am now down to 238. I have been trying to take extra little steps to get things moving in the right direction. Things like dancing while I shower and get ready in the morning, getting off of the bus a mile from home [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: suffering economy=poor work experience   1 year, 10 months ago
  

  Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate having a job REALLY, REALLY appreciate that I am one of the people who managed to stay employed. Here is a bit of food for thought though:
  The Economy, though beginning to improve, still is poor and part of that means that the job market is flooded with good, hard [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: sleepless midnights…   1 year, 10 months ago
  

  So, my day drags on as the clock counts its way past midnight again. I have to leave for work in just 5 hours and I have not yet slept. I feel ill. It’s been a long day and my emotions seem to have taken me over. Work was, well, pretty typical. There was the [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post:   1 year, 10 months ago
  

  Wow, so, I had an amazing awakening today. My afternoon was painful, but eye opening to say the least. Anyone who may have read this little blog before might notice that I have removed the majority of the posts I had previously. Yup, they are gone, and for good. The few that remain are on [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: oh life… how you fight with me…   1 year, 11 months ago
  

  Well, life has been crazy. I haven’t lost anymore weight… sorta hovered right around the 240 mark… down sometimes up sometimes but always right about there. I have been working with absolutely no rhyme or reason to my schedule (and boy does that make you tired.) My relationship has also been through a few pretty [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: it’s working… slowly…   2 years, 1 month ago
  

  So, I don’t have the time to make a full post but here is the news. I am dropping weight slowly, but the inches are falling off. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to continue with boot camp at the gym, since I crashed my car the morning after I started boot camp. However I am [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: Another week and a little frustrated…   2 years, 3 months ago
  

  Okay, so I am back a week later. SInce my appointment I have discontinued use of hormonal birth control. For one, the estrogen, besides being a huge risk to me because of the protein s deficiency is also known to make fibroid tumors grow. I am relatively sure that is what the problem is. I [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: unexpected and unexplained…   2 years, 3 months ago
  

  What is growing inside of me? This I don’t know yet, though I am guessing I soon will. Tomorrow is my Gyno appointment. This is rather terrifying at the moment, as I am one of those plucky people who would rather not think about the problems. It is much harder not to think about the [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: russian dumplings at midnight = <3   2 years, 3 months ago
  

  My my my… Boy, was I a cranky girl yesterday. I had left work early, after hours of feeling miserably ill (and actually getting sick several times, which is pretty standard for the last month ) as well as having excruciating pelvic pain. I have fallen to my knees twice at work and ended up in [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: A week in and 5 pounds down!   2 years, 3 months ago
  

  Okay, so maybe I am two days late making this post. I have been less than dedicated to my improved health and weightloss this week. I have (for the most part) made smarter choices though. I am drinking more fluids, taking in more fruits and veggies (even if I am not hitting the two fresh [...]

• Brenda Mackey wrote a new blog post: early love   2 years, 4 months ago
  

  It is funny to come back to this site, and remember that back in the whirl wind beginning of this I started a blog. Needless to say the breathless romance of it all took my attention from the time that I spent on here. Five months in and what can [...]
