Showing Year: 2014
Partial Cave-in.
May 22, 2014
I don’t really know what category to put this in. It’s not a failure, but it’s also not progress. So, both for now. I did shop, but not at the sale that was tempting me. Let me explain, though I think I’ve mentioned this before and am not trying to gloat about it. I’m down…

I Can See It.
May 22, 2014
It is beautiful out. Why is shopping the first thing I think of on a day like today? What about going to the bike trail with my 4-year-old, who made great progress on his balance bike last weekend? Or the walking trail at the local pond that I only recently discovered? Can’t fitness and health…

Sitting on my Hands.
May 21, 2014
Today starts the women’s Half-Yearly sale at Nordstrom. I’m usually there right at opening time but am fighting to sit this one out. I’m thankful my kids don’t need shoes right now, because that’s always been my main motivation to go first thing on the first day. (Great prices on kids’ shoes, and that section gets…

All in My Head.
May 8, 2014
Readers, I have SO many blog posts floating around in my head. I think I start a new one every day, and yet, so few of them actually make it to print. I apologize for that. I had a pretty significant breakthrough last week, and one of the outcomes was decreased computer time because I have…

A Smile is Not Happiness.
April 25, 2014
Assume the worst when there is an absence of posts. Yes, I have been stuck in a maelstrom of shopping. Justified, and not. I need new spring clothing. But goodness, does any one person really need to spend so much time researching a pair of cropped pants? I had a great thought this week, and…

Weight, Lifted.
April 4, 2014
After my last post, I decided to return a few items that were weighing on me. They were pricey things that I desperately wanted to work for me, but were not working. One item was a gorgeous dress that I would never have the occasion to wear, another was a much-needed trench coat that was…

What I Know.
March 28, 2014
Shopping. It’s what I do when I’m bored, tired, angry, anxious, annoyed, overwhelmed, or elated. It’s my default activity for when I want to feel something other than what I’m feeling. It’s my default activity, period. At some point during the winter, I started online window shopping again. It quickly went from sporadic to daily….

Scattered.
March 25, 2014
There’s a reason I haven’t been posting. I am scattered, and struggling to keep myself together. This winter has been going on too long and I’m tired of being cold and unmotivated. I haven’t been able to work out regularly due to injury, schedule, and surgery. I’m still getting used to my work commitment, while…

My Health Journey.
January 4, 2014
Today is my 1-year anniversary of getting healthy! On January 4th, 2013, something clicked and I made the commitment to log my food intake on MyFitnessPal and started a version of the Couch to 5K program (I used an app on my phone). I’d just had several inconclusive tests for intense gallbladder (or heart?) pain…
