Silence is spelled r-e-l-a-p-s-e.
October 23, 2013
I’ve composed this post a million times in my head over the past couple of months. At first, it was “on vacation! too busy to post!” then it was “empty closet, nothing fits! how much should I buy?” then “help! I can’t stop shopping!” Now…it’s just guilt and shame. My last post was in July,…

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…

Tuesday Update: Still spending, not saving.
May 14, 2013
In case you need a refresher, I listed my goals here. I’ve attempted to update on Tuesdays, but it doesn’t always happen. Sometimes I’m lazy. Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I’m just ashamed at how little progress I’ve made. This is one of those times, except that I’m posting about it. Last year when I started…

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…

Wanted: New Shopping Criteria.
April 29, 2013
I’m ashamed to say that I found out about last week’s factory collapse in Bangladesh while reading one of my favorite fashion forums. It wasn’t on my radar until I was looking at what to buy next, and what everyone else is buying… and then I didn’t want to buy anything. I froze. I wondered if…

Tuesday Update: Shrinking and Growing.
March 26, 2013
HELP! I’m shrinking, and the urge to shop is in full force! It hasn’t felt like this in a few months, so I thought maybe the urge was gone for good. It’s coming back due to my new (old) size, liking my body now, and the nice weather. It’s so much easier to go shopping…

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…
