  • 2017-12-10 Where Did the Weekend Go?

    I’ve definitely eaten too much this weekend… and almost none of it was healthy. I’m not sure, but I think my body is trying to gear up for new years resolutions by making me suffer through sugar craving and junk food rampages. The sick part about all that, is that it is kind of making…

  • 2017-12-09 The Tale of Two Thermostats – Part 5

    The Final Chapter!! Well folks, this is it.. The riveting conclusion to the tumultuous tale of my two thermostats and the final hours leading up to what I am more than happy to describe as a great success. I spent a week, off and on, troubleshooting my HVAC woes and had traced the failure of…

  • 2017-12-08 Friday and Forward Thinking

    I’m guilty. I admit it. I’m now frequently forgetting what day of the week it is. I’m also not ashamed to admit it’s been glorious. The last five months has been rejuvenating and a wonderful growth opportunity for me. I can say with 100% certainty that I’m happier and healthier today than I have been…

  • 2017-12-07 Let Me Eat Cake

    This morning I’m back in my happy place on “my” elliptical machine staring out at an almost completely empty gym. All the working people are probably already on their way to or at work. All the Non working people are probably not up yet. 😜 The exception to that seems to be people who are…

    This is the first time in a long time that I could not seem to fall asleep shortly after going to bed. The clock has turned over time and it is now tomorrow, which means everything I may reveal probably happened “yesterday”. The last couple days in general have been full of lots of things.…

  • 2017-12-05 The Tuesday Transition

    The kids are at their dad’s house and I’m waking up to an empty house, which always feels weird no matter how often I have to go through this transition. I always tell myself it’s going to be good because I can sleep in, but then Tuesday comes and I’m awake around the usual 6:30…

  • 2017-12-04 Part-Time Problems

    Monday morning again and my head is full of things I want to put on the to-do list this week. The challenge? Making the job search a priority. Sadly, the issues I had this past with my HVAC, iPhone, and laptop ended up being welcome distractions from what should be my main goal. Despite that…

  • 2017-12-03 Sunday Status Update and Reflection

    Some days I feel so positive about my progress and some days I just feel like a follow through failure. Braeaking it all down with statistics helps me realize the reality and take feelings out of the story. These “pulse checks” are therefore very helpful. It’s also helpful to compare one moment in time to…
