I was pretty sure yesterday was an anomaly. Have you ever had one of those days when you wake up and you feel "light"? Maybe just a little lighter than the day before? That was yesterday. Yesterday was Monday -- the Monday after Easter. Easter weekend where I worked hard around the house, painting once …
Milestones…
I'll admit it. I had a rough Wednesday this week. It started out fine enough. I had a reasonable breakfast, and plans to attend my first weight watchers meeting. For those who missed my last post, I have decided to attend WW from this point to help me continue healing my relationship with food and …
Begin again…
The greatest gift we receive is the ability to start fresh every day. I love sunrise. It reminds me of this truth. After traveling to California a few weeks ago I got sick. Like seriously sick. Sinus, ear and chest infection. Today is the first day I got to go back to the gym. It …

When I set out to move, the most nerve-wracking part was telling my boss and hoping she'd let me continue with my position from the east coast. Overall I've worked with her for going on six-years. It's a good gig, keeps me challenged and pays well. When she said yes I was a little stunned. …

Living LARGE…
Another milestone. In July 2017 I wore a 3X shirt, sometimes snugly. Sunday I finally ventured into this cute boutique-styled clothing store and found by miracle of miracles that I fit into a large. A LARGE. Whoa. And just when I needed the confirmation. The scale hasn't been doing much moving over the last few …
Accountability buddy…
A few weeks ago I received a DM on Facebook from my photographer and friend, Alisha. She is back on track with working out like me and was wondering if I wanted an in-person accountability partner. "Interesting," I thought. I've always been really solo in my exercise life. Even in team sports when I was …
