Miss SugarCookie

Hey there!

This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

  • 2017-09-26 A Different Road

    It’s 4:45AM. I woke up at four. I’m not in my own house and therefore not in my own bed and I probably had four hours of sleep at the most. At the most. I’ve got a few things on my mind, one of which is a song which I don’t know the lyrics to…

  • 2017-09-24 Happy Being Happy

    I’m living day to day and focused on the details. I’m walking in a haze of bliss content to believe the universe will provide the answers. As if I’ll sleep to dream and somehow wake up knowing what I should do. I’ve become comfortable not thinking about it. I’ve become happy placing my well-oiled, finely-tuned…

  • 2017-09-24 Sunday Status Update

    Day 5 of being ill, slept like shit last night because of congestion and my throat and cough are worse now. What the hell. As a result, my stats are taking a serious dive: Fitbit Steps.. Today – 6K so far. 7 Day Average – Just over 12K (above my official daily goal but below…

  • 2017-09-23 What’s a Girl to Do (or Not Do)

    Today I had another early morning and though I am feeling a little better, again, my throat is still a touch sore and I sound like a baritone frog. That’s not going to be very good for the mentoring session I signed up to do today. Three weeks ago a thing popped up on my…

  • 2017-09-22 From Beginning to End

    Right now I am so far away from where I began the day at 5AM. I was awake and wishing I had a treadmill. How silly is that? Who would want to walk on a treadmill at 6AM? But whatever. I fought with my body hard today. I worked so much on physical things and…

  • 2017-09-22 I Wish I Had a Treadmill

    I like going to the gym because when I do it’s like dedicated time to myself and I know I’m going to workout because there is nothing else to do there, save for the occasional sauna sitting. I’m focussed and have specific goals in mind. I even like to take classes now, which was not…

  • 2017-09-21 Bouncing Back

    The entire day yesterday was a challenge. Everything from going through our daily routine to trying to get some exercise despite feeling like the gum on the bottom of someone’s shoe. I did manage to find enough energy last night to mow the front yard and stayed up until just past 10 helping Z study…

  • 2017-09-20 Walking Dead Wednesday

    Part of my new-ish routine since the kids went back to school is to hit the gym as soon as soon as I drop them off. This morning, I can barely go up and down the stairs without feeling it. Either I’ve overdone it since getting back from Austin or I’m getting sick. Both seem…

  • 2017-09-19 Taco Tuesday

    It is quite rare for it to be 8:30PM and not only am I not really tired yet, but have sort of run out of things to do. Well, there are always things to do, but things that I could start that I would finish by bedtime. I’m planning to go to bed at 10:30…

  • 2017-09-19 Going to Try the “E2”

    It’s Tuesday and this morning I woke up at 4:30AM, by my own choosing, and got my grocery shopping for the week done and was back home in time to wake Z up for school at 6AM. There’s a chapter in a book I was flipping through, “The Four Hour Body”, which talks about sleep…

  • 2017-09-18 A Very Nice Homecoming Indeed

    Austin was lovely as usual and a nice change of pace and retreat from the normal SugarCookie life. But what is “normal” now days? It’s become highly focussed on health and well being with a heavy dose of doing all the things I want to do when I want to do them. Not a bad…

  • 2017-09-17 Austin: The P.Terry’s Cheeseburger.. 3

    Saturday morning we went to the soccer fields to watch Rebecca’s daughter play her very first soccer game ever. It was hot, and muggy, and the sun felt like it was burning our skin. And that was before it was even 11AM. When it was over, we decided to grab a quick bite to eat…
