• I love the new year. I love the new start. I love the idea that everything has possibility. And so I am doing a new post in hopes that my new year spawns the new start I’m feeling energized to pursue. It’s been a long but good year. I had a very challenging project at…

  • I’ve started selling unwanted items around the house on ebay. We have the normal amount of extra stuff accumulated over the years that just builds clutter and gathers dust, so I started posting things just to see if they would sell. Some have and some haven’t but I’m intrigued by the prospect of being an…

  • 12 week planner, plan

    It’s been a year and a half since I last had a steady fitness plan, and my body aches. I’m out of shape. I’ve gained a lot of weight. And I feel like crap. I’m not a fitness fanatic, but the older I get the more it becomes clear that I have to make fitness…

  • What if I went for it?

    There’s this sneaking suspicion I have, that if I would just go for it, I might just succeed. It’s entirely possible that success is just one more try away but with every failure, I’ve embraced defeat and gotten complacent. Every now and then, the mood strikes and I give it another shot.

  • This week I did something I have been struggling with for a long, long time. I got a manicure. Part of the perpetual poppycock I deal with in my head, is the never ending barrage of thoughts that prevent me from doing the smallest things for myself that might fall into the category of vanity.…

  • Intuitive eating, again

    I recently posted about how I fasted to lose 70 pounds last year. I have no regrets about that, firmly love that it works for me. I enjoy fasting and will probably do it going forward but I am enjoying the holiday parties, lunches, splurging and trying not to dwell on the fact that I…

  • Injection curious

    For the first time, I’m injection curious. I’ve witnessed several of close friends and acquaintances drop tons of weight over the last couple of years and I’ve even lived under the same roof as someone prescribed a dulaglutide which is similar to a semaglutide, but until this week I was never curious about it for…
