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…

2019-02-21 Answering the Question – How Did We Get Here
Ohhhh… so that title might be a touch misleading. Someone may misinterpret that to mean this post is going to be some deep existential dive into the meaning of life and how all this came to be. Or perhaps a more scientific, biological explanation about evolution or perhaps the origin of man from a more…

2019-02-20 Remember When
Remember all those times I wish I had a treadmill so I could get steps on days like today when the weather is bonkers and I can’t leave my house? Yeah, now I do and don’t have to wish anymore. Remember all those times I woke up with a headache and couldn’t even start my…

2019-02-17 Shivery Sunday Status
I’m cold. I want to sit in a hot sauna. I’m wondering if the genesis fitness that’s close to my new house has a sauna? I’d love to have a nice long soak in a hot tub or laps around the pool alternating with trips into the dry sauna. I just want to be warm.…

2019-02-16 The Realm of Control
A person needs to be at peace with the things they can’t change and have the drive to change the things that are within their control and, much Like the AA serenity prayer states, “the wisdom to know the difference”. This is not only true for those suffering deep struggles but also for people like…

2019-02-15 V-Day Wrap Up and Other Random Thoughts
My mind is full of random thoughts today and I’m not sure where to start or what’s worthy of words. Yesterday I was all about thinking about the languages of love and I find it ironic that words are so important to me but the category of “words of affirmation” scores so low with me.…

2019-02-14 Proving that I am Not a Hypocrite, The Valentines Edition
It does not take much to scroll back through my historic posts to find what my true feelings about Valentines day are. I seem to feel the need to “rant” about it rather than celebrate and so my goal this year is to not repeat grumblings and stating my case for hating this holiday, maintain…

2019-02-12 Bend and Snap
Yesterday I was in such a funk. I’ll admit, there’s a part of me that just wanted to dwell there and be grumpy. Like don’t I deserve a day to just be in a shitty mood and not try to do anything about it. Am I not human and worthy of wanting to experience the…

2019-02-11 That Just Don’t Make No Sense (or Does it?)
Today is Monday and the start of a new week. This week I’m getting a break from my new daily commute and by all accounts I should be in a great mood to have that extra time in my day to dedicate to other things. Not only that but I’m also going to be celebrating…

2019-02-10 Sunday Status Catch-Up, Bonus Edition
As predicted things are, at long last, starting to slow down and it’s just about time I got back to some good ole accounting of stats. I know going into this that I’m not back to hitting my goals yet and have sacrificed both sleep and exercise this week as I’m establishing my new routine…

2019-02-08 Friday Mini Road-Trip
I’ve been pushing myself this week to get as much done before today so Jim and I can go on a little road trip. He is at work now and I’m doing that cardio thing I do but late morning we are going to cut out of town and head north-west. Yeah, the temps are…

2019-02-07 Counting Up and Counting Down
I’ve been busy this week counting up my work hours and trying to bank as much as I can in order to roll into the weekend feeling good abaoit the stays of things. I’m also now counting down the days until some serious milestones. Well, at least three known dates in the future. It’s 7…

2019-02-05 Not Counting Chickens Yet But… 🐓🐓🐓
Remember when I said (less than a week ago) that it only takes one person to fall in love with the house to set the wheels in motion? Well, I was right about that – times two. The house went on the market last Wednesday and we had several showings by different realtors leading into…
