A post-midnight blog…

It’s after 2 a.m. and I can’t sleep at all. I shut off my lights at 12:30 and have only tossed and turned, as my mind has spun over and over and over. A lot to process lately, I guess. Things I never thought I would be processing…feelings I’m not sure how to analyze. I [...]

Challenge week 9: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I was a little worried about this week considering it was a holiday week…but I did pretty good. The trick was to not deprive myself…but just be smart about what I ate. I made sure that if I did have something loaded with fat, it was a half cup or so…not 3 heaping [...]

Week 8 Weigh in: consequences

I’m finally getting around to posting this. Not because the results were really crappy (they were), but because I’ve been running all over the place today and am finally getting time to sit down at my computer. So I didn’t go to the gym at all this week. Yeah. I know. You heard me right. [...]

God is too wise to be mistaken

I won’t lie. Today was a hard day. Things went down that really made my heart heavy and kept my mind wandering. Tonight I happened to run across a friend’s blog who spoke about the same situation, and she mentioned the song “Trust His Heart.” It took me back to my good ole elementary days. [...]

Challenge Weigh In Week 7: Hard to believe…

So, yet again, i’m pretty stoked about this week. I’m really having a hard time believing it. I stood on the scale two or three times and it kept reading the same thing. Although, I tried again a little later and it read something different. So I’m putting out a disclaimer right now that if [...]

The Right Side (of my brain)

The Right Side.
The thought of going to the Right Ride makes me timid.
The Left is just so much safer. Regulations, stipulations, obligations, expectations…so many ‘tions.

Week 6 Challenge Weigh In: BOOYAH!!

I’m pretty pumped up about this week. I’m learning that sometimes you just have to be patient while your body does its thing. There are going to be weeks where your body just naturally stores more water, and there are other weeks where it will function in top condition. I can’t beat myself up for [...]

Weight Challenge Week 5: it’s a close race.

I’ve finally hit the point where I’m just really tired of working out…I’m going to try to go to more classes this week at the gym, because it seems that those keep me going when I don’t feel like pushing myself. I will have to say that I don’t mind the food I’m eating. In [...]

I told her I understood.

I talked to a girl the other day, and that talk gave me hope and encouragement for life. She was sitting on a couch, sipping some water, pouring over her journal as though she was writing her final goodbyes. Tears were streaming down her downcast face. Her countenance was broken, her eyes determined not to [...]

If my life were a kitchen…

There is a side of me that wants my life to look like this….

But deep down inside, I think I’d rather have it turn out like this…
