Overdue
Tweet It really has been almost a month since I blogged. With good reason. Seriously it’s been a wild crazy busy couple of months and the stress level has been pretty high. I meant to update at the end of October – remember I had some goals? 1) I will not only log into MyFitnessPal…
Losing Steam
Tweet I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet lately. I was really working hard on my goals for October and to be honest I feel like I did pretty good, not 100% consistent, but I really worked hard to get my running and my gym time in. I didn’t log my food on MFP every day…
What if there were no prize?
Tweet I know what you are going to say. “The prize is your health” “The prize is having a long and fit life” I know. I really do. But seriously some days I just think this is so hard. All this hard work. All the effort. Planning, scheduling, running, racing, working out, getting fit, being…
Wednesday Food Fail?
Tweet Ok not a total fail but as you all know I’ve been jet setting all over the place so I haven’t made a new recipe for nearly two weeks. I’m slowly getting back in my own time zone rhythm and I’ll resume the amazing and wondrous food fest postings next week. But I want…
Gym Woes
Tweet Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of great news to report since my last post. In fact there’s kind of some bad news. My gym, my NEW gym, at least the branch in Arnhem, where I live, has been taken over by another company. That means I can no longer go there. This also…
Week In Review:: 4 Dec – 11 Dec
Tweet This post should be titled: The Week that Wasn’t or alternatively: Don’t be like me and eat crap all week But alas, I’m going with the standard Week in Review Post… You know when people talk about motivation, I find myself thinking about the post that I wrote some time ago and I truly…
Here we go again
Tweet I felt it coming on. That feeling of sadness. Frustration. Anger. I knew it was coming and I *think* I tried to stop it but eventually it washed over me. That feeling that no matter what I do, it doesn’t matter. That feeling that no matter how much I think of other good, positive…
Quit What?
Tweet I really wanted to start writing more often and had visions of brilliant prose flowing from my brain to my fingers on a regular basis. The reality is, I haven’t got a lot to say, and even when I try to think of things to say, it’s a lot of the same stuff over…
Part I:: What to do when you can’t do what you do
Tweet Shhhh. Did you hear that? Wait, there it is again! Crickets! That’s right, crickets! It’s been awfully quiet around here. I didn’t mean for it to be like this but the truth is a lot has been going on, and sometimes nothing has been going on and well other things were taking the focus.…
A Confession out of Sheer Desperation
Tweet Well, it’s confession time folks. Remember when I quit Weight Watchers because I’d had enough? Enough of trying to make ProPoints work for me. Enough of feeling like a failure. Enough of feeling miserable because I was hungry. I could do this on my own. I knew what to do. More than 10 years…
