Showing Year: 2013
Overstuffed.
December 30, 2013
Last year at this time, I started feeling overstuffed. I ate to the point of feeling sick at every meal. I had been doing it for a long time, but for some reason, realized it just then and knew I had to do something about it. I didn’t want to feel sick anymore. A few…

I Shopped My List.
November 11, 2013
I have a list of the last few items I’d like to add to my wardrobe to get me through the winter. I’ve been strictly adhering to the list, which has actually not taken as much willpower as I’d thought. Shopping has become more of a fun mission and I’m paying more attention to the…

Struggling, and a Possible Trigger.
November 1, 2013
I’m struggling today. Actually, I did most of the struggling yesterday and I think I know why. I woke up feeling bone-tired after a particularly heavy workout the day before. There’s no caffeine in the world that can pull me out of that. I started to think about shopping, trying to figure out if I…

Why I’ve Been Shopping.
October 25, 2013
I always wonder if anyone reading this blog doesn’t personally “get” the desire to shop. I wish I knew what that feels like!

Silence is spelled r-e-l-a-p-s-e.
October 23, 2013

Not in a Panic.
July 23, 2013
I’m leaving soon for my second vacation this summer and I am not panicking. Last year, when headed to this same destination, I was terrified that I would not be able to restrain my shopping. I even blogged about it. The year before that, all I could think about was trying to schedule my retail…

Connecting the dots.
July 22, 2013
For the past few years since my youngest son was born, I existed just to connect the dots between things that dictated my schedule. Constantly floating and dragged along, I was just trying to make it to the next thing so I could call it a day and slip into my favorite state of sleep….

The Big 3-0.
July 20, 2013
It’s not a birthday, but it is worth celebrating: I’ve lost 30 pounds! This is what I’ve been working on since January, and why I’ve been slacking with this blog. I love everything about this “new” me. I’m disciplined, awake, alive, eating well, and getting strong. I’m glad to have hit this weight milestone, but…
