I’ve come to realize that what I need in life to be happy, is much different than what I always thought I would need. For most of my life I believed that hard work and sacrifice meant pain, uncomfort, and burnout. I would avoid these feelings by quitting. This isn’t to say that I wasn’t [...]

Since our trip to Monticello a week and a half ago, I’ve been a little consumed with all things Thomas Jefferson. I’ve watched two documentaries (though I’ve fallen asleep- a habit of mine), and am now reading The Founding Foodies by Dave DeWitt. I’m very interested and slightly obsessed with knowing how and what [...] As usual you guys never cease to amaze me. Who knew so many women would show up to yesterday’s conversation and share their experience? I’m not alone. And we can figure out a way to cope. And more importantly keep going. I found that the act of writing about my issues with PMS helped tremendously. [...] If talk about PMS or hormones make you squeamish, you might want to skip this post because I’m about to lay it all out. I have really bad PMS. And I don’t think there are many women out there that talk about it. When I talk about PMS or period woes in [...] Our weekend was spent a couple hours north in Charlottesville for Josh’s birthday and a friend meetup for Harry Potter. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate his birthday than with good food, sites, friends and drinks. We even made a stop into the pawn shop for birthday gifts such as a new [...] I had my first taste of what a normal day of eating could be like for me in the future. Yesterday was one of those days that had “balance” written all over it. And the elation I feel over something so simple, is hard to explain. Balance over making the right choices, not over indulging, [...] In the past week and two days, I’ve had something major happen. The desire to overeat, or eat for the wrong reasons is slowly disappearing. This is not the time to be cocky about my actions (I’ve been there), but at the very least thoughtful and aware of them. Fighting the urge to overeat, for [...] First week of eating better plan is down. Last week I ate really well, loosely tracked my calories, lost seven pounds, was incredibly productive, did two days of Zumba and one day of strength training. I couldn’t have asked for a better week. Here is a sampling of what I ate:
I get several emails a week about this and that and thought I’d answer some questions I get most often here. How tall are you? I’m right smack in the middle of average at 5’4. What diet plan do you follow? Right now I’m dabbling in a world without refined flours and sugars. Cutting back [...] We’ve had some good eats this week. Steak, fresh produce, and new recipes. Thanks to you all for the supportive comments on my new diet experiment. I realize how defensive that post was. I’m often a defensive person (it’s on my list of things to work on) when I feel my motives are misunderstood or [...] |
