How do you know you have really changed?

It’s great to have the revelation that you have changed. I mean we all talk about “lifestyle change” yadda yadda yadda – we KNOW that we have to change so much about ourselves and we THINK we have… until we lose the weight and gain it back again for whatever reason. OR we don’t gain…

September: That’s a Wrap!

79.2 KG That’s what the scale told me this morning. My first thought was to curse at it or throw it out the window but it only took a couple of seconds to come back to reality. You see, I did this, not the scale, and I wouldn’t throw myself out the window now would…

A Look Back and a Look Forward

Wow you guys, September is already here and I hardly even caught my breath from returning from my US holiday! It was a bit of a struggle to get in a groove again, plus I was a bit sick, plus very busy/stressed at work, but we made it! We are entering my favourite month of…

Extremely Hot and Incredibly Sticky

That is what the weather has been like here lately. Don’t get me wrong, I just came back from Phoenix and Albuquerque… it’s HOT. Here it’s humid. That means stickiness. I love it when it’s sunny and warm and I deal with the humidity the best I can. After all, we don’t have consistent summers…

Crazy Week

It was a crazy, crazy week last week. Basically, on Monday morning, my husband was in a car accident. He’s fine. The other person is fine, but the car is just trashed. In fact that car no longer belongs to us. Any accident is bound to ruin someone’s day/week/month/year/life, right? No one wants to be…

Here I am

I have four posts in my drafts for my blog, so at least there’s been an attempt to write. It’s been particularly mental the past month – September always is anyway at work (I work in finance, it’s year-end), and socially it was busy as well. My birthday weekend was spent with my family –…
