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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Here’s the deal. I am obese. I have been obese since the 4th grade, with the exception of one six month period of time when I dipped into the catagory of overweight. I am still an attractive woman and I know this because I get a good deal of attention from people who are attracted [...]

No I am not in “the L word.” But I am fighting with it again. I am scared to death and excited and nervous and I feel like I am just sixteen years old again. I suppose this is because I have had very little experience with doing this whole relationship thing the “right way.” [...]

So, I am back on this site… yet again. I love it but tend to have abandoned my blogs in the past when I tried to mold myself into my family’s uber-christian life. I am done with that for good now, and will not be returning to them. I am pagan, and happy with it. [...]
