My Favorite Part

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you are aware of my health initiative that I established over five months ago. (FASTer Way to Fat Loss rocks!) Now, it is simply a habit that makes me feel amazing and has boosted my confidence. But, like most women, I have a hard time appreciating…

The Ingredient for Happiness

I’m not sure when it happened, but at some point, I have completely abstained from turning on the television. I am proud to say that I have no idea what is going on in the world. Oh, I am aware that it is a complete shit show, but by removing myself from all of the…

Wrapping It Up

I know that you all have lost sleep over the sweet potato saga and the issue of me being my own pain in the ass. Calm down. All is well. Yesterday, I enjoyed my delectable sweet potato for lunch. I managed to turn on the slow cooker and the bonus was that I actually plugged…

Turn It On

Part of kicking fat to the curb involves low carb days, which I practice on Monday and Tuesday. So when I reintroduce my friends back into the fold, I am a little giddy. My favorite good carb are sweet potatoes. Every. Single. Day. No lie, I might have a problem. And if you mess with…

Princess and the Pea

I have this routine. It keeps me focused and motivated. Yesterday, discomfort was my distraction. I spend a large chunk of time on my sofa typing away in an effort to complete my book. Apparently, I have pissed off my Piriformis and am extremely uncomfortable. I would write then ice. Write some more then stretch.…

Door-To-Door

Yesterday, deep into my writing, I was alerted to the epitome of rudeness. Someone was pounding on my door. It was the kind of sound that can only be followed by the sentence, “Police! Open up”, which, by the way, did not happen. First of all, when I am writing, I am in a trance,…

Aftermath

I will admit when I canceled Easter, I was a little worried about the aftermath. Even though my mother took it well, I was concerned about the emotional residue that might be sprinkled upon me at some point. When I called her yesterday, we had the most delightful conversation. It was reminiscent on how things…

Holiday Cancellation

There comes a time in life where you must honor your truth. You must value yourself enough to stop doing what is expected. Start being true to yourself. Well, I did just that. I cancelled Easter. Now, friends, before you get all judgy and hostile with me, I will explain what I mean. Normally, I…

You Talk Too Much

The bane of my existence isn’t another human being. I know, you are shocked. Trust me, I am too. I never thought an inanimate object would push me to the brink of insanity. It is a watch. Actually, it is a talking watch that belongs to my mother who has impaired vision. Her occupational therapist…

On A Sunny Day

Yesterday was epitome of the ideal spring day. It was perfection. The sun illuminating the clear, blue sky. I mean, what could be more perfect? While I was out with the Bassets – they must go outside at least 200 times before they are bored – I heard my neighbor’s generator. I thought it was…
