OOOOHHHHHHHH. This Makes More Sense.

(Trigger warning for calorie counts, weight, and other assorted asshattery.)
For my birthday in May I got a shiny new heart rate monitor – the kind I can wear on my wrist (because I’d need a damn engineering degree to figure out how to wear a chest strap around my ginormous boobs, ok?).  And it calculates [...]

The Funniest Thing EVER.

Or at least the funniest thing I’ve seen recently.
Please go to this link (over at Shakesville) for the rest of the OMG HILARIOUS article posted by Sady.

Bear With Me, Here . . .

I’ve got a lot of stuff knocking around in my brain.
I’m still thinking about the separate blog thing.  I definitely don’t want to run a weight-loss blog from here; I like the opportunity to do some serious navel-gazing self-reflection that I have here.  And there are some pros and cons to running something like that [...]

The Good, the Bad, the Breakdown and the Nap that Saved the Day

It’s been a hell of a weekend.  No, make that a hell of  a week. 
I haven’t been sleeping all that well.  I’ve been falling asleep late and waking up early, in addition to waking up several times a night.  Me on no sleep is a bad, bad thing.  I get depressed and overwhelmed and freaked [...]

Help! I’m Being Swallowed by Boxes!

Ok, not really.  MOST of the boxes are unpacked, although the utter lack of storage in the bathroom is distressing in the extreme.  (I will be heading to Lowe’s today to look for under-cabinet storage baskets.)
I’m now down to about the last third of the boxes, which of course is the HARDEST third: it’s the [...]

Going Off the Grid – At Least Temporarily

I’m moving!  I think.  I’m reasonably sure.  At the moment.  If my loan funds tomorrow by 1:00pm.
But!  Assuming the best (please God, don’t make me have to start calling the water, gas and electrical companies, along with the movers, the donation pickup people and the cable guy to freakin’ RESCHEDULE everything), I’ll be spending the [...]

I Think I Might Be Losing Weight – WEIRD. And Also, Yay! (But Cautiously.) (If I Write a Little More, This Will Totally Be the Longest Post Title EVER.)

Remember the Not Crazy diet I referenced in my last post?  I haven’t been writing about it, because sometimes when I write about things early on, it’s like the wind goes out of my sails.  I just . . . stop.  (If you want to know why, go read the post below this one.  It’s [...]

Well, THIS Isn’t What I Planned on Posting Today At ALL

I was going to post about this fancy-schmancy new diet I’ve been following – the Not-Crazy diet.  I wrote about how I got to thinking about things, and how I was pulling things that worked from past plans, and altering things that DIDN’T work in past plans, and all that jazz.
And then I started to [...]

Book Review: Younger Next Year for Women

And you thought I’d never get around to posting this! 
I love this book.
That is all.
What, you want more?  FINE.
First off, I have to say that if you read the first book, I’ve heard that there isn’t a WHOLE lot new with this one.  (I haven’t read the first one, so I can’t comment, [...]

Not Dead Yet

I’ve been working on a new way of eating.  I’ve been doing it for about a week now, and I’m not QUITE ready to talk about it.  I don’t want to jinx it, LOL.  Details will be forthcoming sometime next week, but suffice it to say it might be the healthiest approach I’ve been able [...]
