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…

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…

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…

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…

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….

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…

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…

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…
