Not Rocket Science

For some reason, I had some weird desire to watch “My 600 Pound Life” the other day.  They were having a marathon or something, so I watched a number of episodes.  During one of them, the man said something about losing weight being hard.  He didn’t say it due to exercise, but due to not …

Going for It

I’ve been bemoaning the fact that I didn’t think Camp NaNo was right for my family.  The entire time, I’ve been secretly wondering if I might just set a goal to blog every day.  I even more secretly plotted to blog a lot one day (a number of blogs) and just set them to post on …

Deaf

I feel like such a jerk!  I’m fat.  **gasp!!**  What?!  Say it ain’t so!  Yes, it’s true.  I’m fat and I can admit it. My then-husband was sure to tell me often exactly how fat and unattractive I am.  Obviously, his words left scars.  Massive scars which I worry will never heal.  If the man …

Bra

I hate bra shopping.  It’s worse than jeans shopping.  Seriously!  I’d rather wash dishes than go bra shopping! First off, you have to go through the process of bra shopping.  What a painful process!  The first step is admitting that it’s time to look for a new bra.  That means change.  Yuck!  And then you …

Three Hours

I recently read an article which said that successful people get up three hours before they’re due to be at work.  Being a morning person, that just seems to make sense for my life.  Sure, it means I need to get to bed a bit earlier than my normal old-biddy hour, but that too makes sense …

Onward and Upward

I’m done with the negativity. I want to apologize to you for putting that out there. I was sitting on my emotions for a while, but it was only hurting me. Pounding them out on my keyboard seemed to help me feel better (I always have felt better after getting my feelings down on paper). …

Approaching Deadline

It’s looming – the deadline for the start of NaNoWriMo. And I still haven’t decided whether or not I want to do it. I know, I know – I can start at any time. But, life is so busy right now that if I do it, I want to give myself every single day that …

They Accept Me!

So, I’m fat. I’m 120 pounds overweight. Technically, I’m morbidly obese. I’ve been told I don’t look as heavy as I am, but I am still quite fat. I try to live a normal life, but it does hinder me somewhat. Amusement park rides and movie theaters aren’t suited for someone who is an extra …

I Accidentally Made It!

A couple of weeks ago, I asked a co-worker if he knew a good hiking trail.  I mentioned that the elevation gain should be slight, since this would be our first hike of the season, and we hadn’t exercised in a while (ie – I really preferred to NOT have a heart attack half way up …

Another Fresh Start

For the last 3 years, I’ve worked two or three jobs almost at all times.  I’m exhausted!  For the month of May, I will have 2 jobs, but only work one of them and only part-time.  I’m so blinkin’ excited!  I could work my second job, but truthfully I’d rather have the time than the …
