I don’t know that I have. It’s been that mindset for a very very long time. Guys, I don’t really know what the hell I’m doing, but I do know one thing – I’m over “dieting.” So, in the words of Usher, these are my confessions… “Oh girl, it’s a lifestyle change. That’s your … Continue reading
I’m trying to be tough…and say no to booze and yes to running and hell yeah to the best balance ever! Thanksgiving came and went and it was filled with love, family, friends, amazing food and booze. With there being no grey in my gluttony. I overdosed on good times, long distance family, bourbon, my … Continue reading
…but congrats to Tamara because she’s the BIG winner! She won the 100th Post Freebie Basket! I hope you love everything in it as much as I do. 🙂 It’ll be a very busy week for us with Thanksgiving here! Our (my) family from Vermont/Florida starts arriving tomorrow. I haven’t seen most of them since … Continue reading
I’m trying. God knows I’m trying. I’m trying to find the balance between sanity and insanity; something I most often struggle with. Either I weigh in compulsively or not at all. I haven’t stepped foot onto the scale since my Post Op appointment. Kevin says he is glad I’m not torturing myself, but I can’t … Continue reading
Kevin, Alicia and I ran the Tap N’ Run 4k this week. “Ran” is generous – more like me did a little speed walking. Regardless, it’s beyond fun. The whole idea of the race is to drink and run. Ah-mazing! Here are a few pics! How was everyone else’s weekend? Don’t forget – there’s still … Continue reading
SAY WHAAAA? Shut the front door. Good God Amighty! With Kevin out of town this week I’ve been playing in the kitchen a lot. I was looking through the fridge and found a myriad of leftovers and created this beauty: Y’all – it just wasn’t fair it was so good. Here’s the line up: Real … Continue reading
RO commented in a baking post about how her “me time” typically involves baking. I realized how right she was and how cathartic baking is for me. My Sister In Law, Terri has been a total God send through this whole process. I know she loves Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread so I thought I’d make … Continue reading
I had a much needed weekend of soul soothing and what I’d like to think of recovery and the road to redemption. After gorging myself on Friday morning with a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked I realized I couldn’t continue down that dangerous road. I made a promise to myself as I licked … Continue reading
“If I can do it, you can do it, too!” I read this article a while ago and it got brought up again and I’ve just been stewing…. It’s just bullshit. I’m sorry.  Not the woman, not her mission, not her intention. Just this phrase infuriates me. I hate, with every ounce of my being, when people say … Continue reading
Yeah buddy. It’s fall. And you know what I love in Fall? Pumpkin…pistachios…and anything “spiced.” So, I figured I’d put them all together and go with it. While I try to eat whole foods and nothing processed, I can’t be perfect. I was feeling particularly lazy and found this Betty Crocker Super Moist Carrot Cake … Continue reading
Damn girl, that's a lot of fattitude
