Overdue
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 every…
Losing Steam
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 and…
What if there were no prize?
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 involved,…
Wednesday Food Fail?
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 to…
Gym Woes
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 means…
Week In Review:: 4 Dec – 11 Dec
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 believe…
Here we go again
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 things,…
Quit What?
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 and…
Part I:: What to do when you can’t do what you do
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. The…
A Confession out of Sheer Desperation
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 of…
