    2019-05-13 Empty

    It’s 8:42AM on a Monday and I don’t feel like I have had a weekend at all. We drove 7+ hours home from Chicago yesterday and pained our way through it, taking turns with our respective health issues. After the total body purge I had had on Saturday my body gravitated from feeling starving to…

  • 2019-05-06 Reading “Wasted”

    I’m reading a book by Marya Hornbacher called “Wasted”. It’s her personal memoir that focuses on her history and struggle with eating disorders. I’m about a fourth of the way through the book and we just jumped from elementary school to middle school. I’m interested in this book for a couple of different reasons. First,…

  • 2019-05-02 The One About Food (and Parenting)

    Yesterday was such a long day and I did not have a minute to spare. I spent most of the day at the Med Center parricipating in sessions and meetings and doing that work thing I sometimes do. I only had a break from that in the afternoon long enough to pick up the kids…

  • 2019-04-17 Redemption – It’s the Little Things

    After all my emotional ranting yesterday, one might think I would have felt better, but the sour day continued long into the afternoon.

  • 2019-03-29 Those are Not My Cats

    This morning I woke up in the middle of a dream where I had just realized my cats were standing next to each other and they were not hissing in offense or defense. I was all like “hey, look at that! Do you see that?” And the cats in my dream did not look like…

  • 2019-03-24 Sunday Stat Monthly Recap

    Oh hey! Here’s a blast from the past.. Sunday Stats!! Somewhere along the way I decided weekly stats were overkill (probably right about the time I was confident I had finally found the secret to success). But I still keep tabs on myself on a regular basis and think it’s Important to check it so…

  • 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.…

  • 2019-02-12 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…
