Life is good, but you can nearly miss it

Life is good, but you can nearly miss it

4 years ago, I took a left turn onto a dirt road in the desert of Arizona.   By.myself!   I was scared as the road twisted, turned and went up and down hills. At the end was one of the most beautiful views I have seen in my life.  This was the beginning of many adventures, and I always go back to this memory when I worry about fear.

It’s about time I reprise this blog. For way too long, I have felt as if I didn’t have anything worth writing.  I worried too much about what people would think about my writing, if anyone at all was reading and thinking too much about a blog being like a business.

This blog is not my job. This blog is my creative outlet.

Not long ago, a co-worker said that she was asked to describe her…

Last year, I heard about an online review community to provide feedback and opinions for various products and experiences. Since I already do this through other areas of social media, I thought this would be a great place for me to share my thoughts on products that I love and some of those that I don’t love so much.

This community is called Influenster.

Influenster sent me a box full of…

Under arms should not smell like food

Thank you for not smelling like fruit or vegetables. Under arms should not smell like food. #raiseyourarms

Let’s talk about under arms, or arm pits if you would rather call them that. Yeah, it’s a weird opening, but we all have them, right? Girls take care of them differently than guys, so we’re concerned about different things. For me, I don’t like them to smell like fruit or vegetables.

Serious…

Hey, I noticed you've been missing from my dash for a few days - how are you doing? x

Asked by: ravenhairedcleopatra-deactivate

Thanks for asking. I’m still struggling with motivation. I’m still around and hoping to get back into things soon. I appreciate you asking :)

Weigh In Wednesday, Week 37

Well, I finally made it below the 250 mark, though it seems like I’ve been hanging in that area for quite some time. I’m getting rather frustrated with the losses under 1 pound, but I’m sure it’s because I’m not tracking or exercising like I should. 

I know it’s probably unreasonable to think that I could drop an additional 100 pounds by this time next year, but I really want to make it my goal to at least get close. 

Two nights this week I have planned to get up an hour early in the morning so that I could work out, and both of those nights I have had problems getting to sleep. One night it was 2am before I could get to sleep, the other was close to midnight. I’m a girl who needs no less than 7 hours of sleep a night or I’m a total grump. Needless to say, I didn’t work out the mornings after. I’ve also been slacking on my lunch and break time walks each day. Seriously, I gotta get back at it!

Starting Weight: 288.2 (6/16/10)
Last Weigh In:  250.2 (2/16/11)
Current Weight: 249.8
Lost this week: 0.4 lbs.
Total Loss: 38.4 lbs.

Just checking in since you haven't updated in awhile. How are you? :)

Asked by: effthisdiet-blog

I’ve been seriously lacking in the motivation area lately. My birthday was this month, and it always seems to bring out the inner demons of doubt, frustration and self esteem issues. 

I’m ready to get back on board with everything, including eating better and exercising. Thanks for checking in on me :)

Weigh In Wednesday, Week 36

I took a pass on last week’s Weigh In because my office was having a Food Day for February, and I didn’t want to have to wait until 1pm to partake of the festivities. Food Day literally lasts ALL DAY. While it’s very bad for anyone and everyone who is trying to watch what they eat, I’ve learned to embrace it and plan around it. Hopefully next time they won’t have it on a Wednesday! 

I’m still SO VERY CLOSE to being under 250 pounds. I’ve got to admit that I was surprised to have lost any weight these past 2 weeks. I haven’t been eating all that great or exercising much lately. I’ll post more about that later. 

Starting Weight: 288.2 (6/16/10)
Last Weigh In:  251.6 (1/26/11)
Current Weight: 250.2

Lost this week: 0.6 lbs.
Total Loss: 38.0 lbs.

Today

Today is one of those kind of days where I want to eat all kinds of bad things and forget about weight loss. Bread, especially bagels are on the top of this list. 

I definitely need some strength today.
