Tuesday Update: The Kids’ Closet.
September 18, 2012
One of my goals is to get a handle on my kids’ clothing. They’ve always had too much — it runs in the family! Given how messy they can be, it’s good to have some extra clothes, but not a week’s worth. I refreshed their wardrobes last week when I found some really great deals…

Tuesday Update: Minimizing My Wardrobe.
October 9, 2012
Every Tuesday (or Thursday or Saturday…), I’m posting a status on one of my goals. After last week’s raw and gritty post, I realized that nothing is going to change unless I do something drastic. More than just shopping less, spending less, sticking to a list, etc. No, it needs to hurt. I’ve been reading…

Tuesday Update: Fitness Broke Unshopping.
February 12, 2013
So much for my new habit! Getting healthy and fit is taking a toll on my wallet. It shouldn’t, except that I am a gadget geek, as is my husband. Last month, I bought a nifty little device that tracks my daily steps and calories burned. This month, I had an episode of sanctioned shopping…

Tuesday Update: Two Plus.
February 26, 2013
Remember last week, when I said I was only going to buy one top and one pair of pants for working out? Well, if you’ve been reading this blog, you know how well I do with sanctioned shopping. It was planned, I had “permission” to spend, and I had justification. I just didn’t have the…

Tuesday Update: Habit Forming.
March 5, 2013
It started with making my bed. I bought a new bedding set a few months ago, the kind with all the pillows you don’t know what to do with. I decided I wanted to start making my bed every morning. At first it was a chore, but now I don’t even like to get ready…

Tuesday Update: Weights and Jackets.
March 12, 2013
Yes, I shopped. I couldn’t help it. I am SO HAPPY to be able to button cardigans, blazers, and jackets again! My existing tops are starting to look loose and floppy on me. (Um, pants, will you soon follow? Please?) Now that it’s warming up, I’m back to layering with casual blazer-style jackets instead of…

Tuesday Update: gasp…it’s a garden!
April 30, 2013
Last August, I put together a list of goals that I was working toward. I have to laugh, because just yesterday, I planted my first vegetable garden. Yes, I’ve taken up gardening! I am shocked. I don’t like bugs. I don’t like being outside on hot days. I don’t like getting dirty. I’ve never liked plants…

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…

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….
