Now for something less serious
and more “Can I get a ‘Woot! ‘Woot!’?” It’s six days into the new month, I’m feeling strong, positive, happy! Today I officially start my weekend. We’re going “away” (to Lisse) for the weekend for Castlefest – staying in a hotel and hanging out at the festival, spotting hobbits and witches and drinking Mead til…
Early Days
I think it’s fairly normal when we make big plans or set goals for ourselves that we start off with a real BANG! Right? Being an all or nothing personality type, this is at least what I do, but I do want to change and be that person that succeeds more or less at their…
How I’m Going to Do It
Recently I read on Mind Over Mayo this great post “Success Breeds Confidence” and thought I would also break out my August Goals in the same way: 1) Define Your Goal – as I posted here, all my goals for August are defined. 2) List the benefits: a. Food journaling:: with tracking I can actually…
It’s August. I’ve got Plans.
In the recent past I’ve attempted making weekly goals, which sometimes work out and sometimes don’t.

Things I learned or Accomplished on Vacation
1) I read an entire book. In Four Days. that may not seem a big deal to some of you but I never read anymore. I try to read whilst communting and I’m generally too tired and I fall asleep. Same for right-before-bed reading. It’s over in like three minutes. (Go ahead, ask me what…

Everything is fine. So What’s Wrong?
I’ve officially been home from my Greek vacation for one week now. It was only Wednesday that I had to go back to work, so I even had a few days to get used to being home again. Yesterday, quite late in my work day (since I was late anyway) I felt like I could…

Beach Bodies
(written from the Beach in Stalida, Crete) At the beginning of each year, we are blasted with suggestions to “lose weight” and “get fit” because of course we have to look good for Valentine’s Day or Spring Break. Then around March we are blasted with all kinds of diet and exercise tips so that come…
