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…

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….

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: 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…

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: 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…
