I, like many, have a love-hate relationship with the gym. Today I loved it. Tomorrow I may not feel the same. Going home and having such a great appointment with my doc and realizing how far I've come has reinvigorated my drive for fitness for sure. Also, looking in the mirror, naked, has helped encourage …
3 Month Check…
So I was in Denver all last week. I had a three-month follow up with Dr. Long's office so I figured I'd make a stop home. It was interesting...being there. Even though we're not in our house yet out in South Carolina, it already feels like home. I drove past our old house several times …
Shutter Speed…
This is a difficult post to write, surprisingly. I have so many angles, so many thoughts to share, I'm not sure how to frame it or where to start. Those of you who know me know I love adventure for adventures-sake. I am not an idle girl. I don't sit around wondering when I will …
Challenge…
I don't often take up challenges I'm given on Facebook, but this one spoke to me. Rachel posted a 7 day, b&w photography challenge where you just snap a photo, with no people and no explanation and post it. I love how day 1 turned out because it speaks to me so loudly about my …
Back on track…
I'm officially on my way back down! I've broken the plateau and couldn't be happier, This morning I weighed in at 234.7...Officially 78 days post-surgery and 51 pounds gone! Whoot whoot! I couldn't be happier. Stress really stalls things. This move has given me three weeks without the needle moving. I knew at around 50 …
Plateau…
So it's been a while since I last wrote -- mostly because we've been getting situated in South Carolina. First there was the hotel for a few days once the family got in...then it was moving to the apartment with none of our things for a few days. Our "stuff" finally arrived the Monday after …
The move…
Well, our move from Colorado is mostly complete. I pulled out of town with Melanie on Saturday morning at 6am with a ton of crap in the car and the dog in back on doggie "downers". Our good friends and neighbors, Alison and Brian came to wish us farewell at the crack of dawn. That …
T -1 Day…
Unbelieveable. One day until I leave for South Carolina. After a little scrambling, Melanie is able to make the trip with me. In 15 years we have talked many times about a girls' weekend - taking a road trip - getting away and never once did we make it happen. Seems fitting that we now …
I love my fat pug…
This is Archie, our pug. I love our dog. He's sweet, loving, and a little mischievous. I can now officially add to that list, fat. He's gained 9 pounds in 2 years. Ordinarily this wouldn't be such a big deal. Just cut back on his food and walk him more...but it looks like he's so …
