Leeeeeeaavin’, on a Jet Plane . . .

Hey guys!
I’m in Las Vegas this week for a film convention, so I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to post anything this week.  If not, I’ll come back full of fun stories on Monday!

The Carb Binge

Note to self: “high protein” does not automatically mean “low carb.”
I figured if I was going to eat high-protein, that I should cut back my carb intake.  (Hey, it made sense in my HEAD, ok?)  So I did.
Um.
Turns out, I ALREADY don’t eat that many carbs.  I’m not a big fruit eater (I know, I [...]

Tinkering. Panicking. Paradigm Shifting. Part 2

(If you didn’t read Friday’s post – below this one – you should.  I’m just going to jump in where I left off, so this might not make sense otherwise.  )
So I can’t keep doing WW.  It doesn’t work for me, and it just makes me crazy when it stops working.  Calorie counting is out [...]

Tinkering. Panicking. Paradigm Shifting. Part 1

So after reading The Metabolic Diet and hearing pretty much the EXACT SAME THING from my doctor, I’ve been trying to figure out how to make it work for me.  (That in itself is sort of hilarious, in my opinion.  Leave it to someone with control issues to decide that I can’t just eat what [...]

This Metabolic Diet Thing Might Not Be A Crock

A while back I went into the bookstore looking for Jillian Michael’s Making the Cut, but after skimming through it, I realized that it would make me COMPLETELY INSANE.  So I put it back on the shelf.  But she talked about eating for your metabolic type, and I was curious, so I started perusing the shelves [...]

Getting Past the “Monkey Mind”

I’ve been trying to meditate more often.  Or at least more consistently.  And I find myself falling into one of several methods of meditation, all of them quite specific.  I was emailing a friend of mine last week, and she asked me something like, “What exactly do you DO to meditate?” and I was off [...]

Fake It Till Ya Make It

I got my hair color done on Saturday and they butchered it (the cut was great – the color looked like hell).  So I went back on Monday to have it fixed, and they turned it RED.  I do NOT look good with red hair.  So after I got home from work, I got in the [...]

Not Dead Yet

You know how sometimes you read/hear/whatever a few things, and it sort of snowballs on itself, unlocking doors in your psyche that keep leading to more doors and more doors until you think you’ve thought yourself to death?  Sort of like one “A-ha!” moment multiplied a million times over, each one leading into another one?
No?  [...]

The All-or-Nothing Phenomenon

There’s a song in the musical “Oklahoma” that tends to run through my head at times like these:
“With me, it’s all or nothin’,
Is it all or nothin’ with you?
 . . .
If you can’t give me all, give me nothin’,
And nothin’s what you’ll get from me!”
I do not seem capable of halfway.  I’m an all-or-nothing gal.  I [...]
