Weigh in: It’s been a month since I’ve kicked myself into high gear, and I’m happy to report I’m down seven pounds! Mom life: The pic above was from yesterday. Most of that was accomplished at my own house during the day. I was cleaning and organizing like a mad woman! I accomplished even more…
My voice
I really dislike talking politics with the people I care about. I’m not a big fan of creating conflict, and I’m pretty passionate about my own beliefs, it can get ugly. :/ Mostly, I’m not a fan of having someone else’s opinion and/or beliefs forced on me. That goes for everything. I am entitled to…
Meeting Expectations
I always crave excitement. I live in a constant state of distraction, having no set schedule. I am not typically a creature of habit and enjoy doing something different all the time. That being said, I play “let’s make a deal” with myself at least 10 times a day, talking myself into completing my…
Explore the ordinary
Yesterday morning I’m sitting on the train staring at a blank screen. I think I’m starting to like this. I have time to go over in my head what I need to be doing, I set reminders for all sorts of stuff, and think about what I can do every day to make myself better. …
All or nothing
New training starts Monday, until then it’s prep time! I don’t know if it’s because my bday is coming up…I value this as a fresh start even more than New Years. It’s the perfect deadline for completion of goals, and to forge ahead with new ones. I have one goal set to reach by my…
Be you
I don’t know what it is exactly about Halloween, but I love it. I always have. As a kid, maybe I could say the candy had something to do with it?! Not so much now…I love dressing up and getting into it. This year while thinking up ideas I was trying to think outside the…
It’s all worth it
What a week! It’s been super busy, and this weekend is packed with all sorts of activities. Weigh in: Going down. Down another 1.4 pounds this week, bringing my three-week total to 5.4 pounds. A year ago I was within three pounds of my pre-pregnancy weight. After going through all these changes this past year,…
Crispy bacon
“If you don’t order your bacon crispy, you’ll never get to enjoy it. If that’s what you want, you have to use your voice to get it.” -Amy Arvary I love where these sessions with Amy take me. We’re both deep thinkers and it’s nice to have someone to talk to without judgement. That quote…
It’s a feeling I’m after
Although Wednesday is my official weigh in day, I’m trying something new; daily weigh ins. It’s been keeping me in check the last two weeks. So I am happy to report week two, I am down another 2 pounds, bringing my October total to 4 pounds! One pound at a time, one day at…
Getting to maintenance
“The root of all suffering is attachment” -Buddha I’m in a constant state of organizing and going through stuff, is everyone like that? I’m an excellent maintainer – I say it all the time “if I could just get myself to maintenance, then I’m good”. This applies to all areas of my life, from weight…
