Buckle Up!

The Quarantine Project
Resurrecting Gratitude When the (unofficial) quarantine began, I was on a mission. Two if you count the New Lifestyle New, New Me project—but that actually started before “everything changed.” What I’m referring to, and what […]
Who’s Got my Pickle?

A Dieter’s Journal
Dear Diary, It’s the 6th of April, the month that I vowed NOT to step on the scale. Why is it so damn hard? When I brought up eternity the other day, there was another […]
Fit Fun Facts
It’s Official. I’m obsessed with my New Lifestyle, New Me project. I’ve been taking walks every single day now and I’ve had no problem hitting my mark of 6,500 steps per day. In spite of […]
Thoughts, Thoughts . . .
And more thoughts! This morning I woke up tired of thinking. That doesn’t happen very often. In the short time I’ve been awake, I felt droopy, slightly discouraged, and have been questioning some of my […]
When Life . . .
Gives you Lemons. Life has definitely thrown a curve ball. A part of me wonders if it’s the perfect opportunity to postpone my New Lifestyle, New Me adventure, but the other part of me—the pushy […]
The Skinny on the Mini
It’s time for another Food Fun Fact! First of all, I am no nutritionist. I say this because 1) there really ARE experts in the field who can tell you what foods are good for […]
Step, Step…
Step to my Lou Today is the first day of my week two addition: The 10,000 Steps a Day Challenge. Maybe it’s just that I’m an optimist, but after receiving my step tracker I can […]
Knock Knock
Who’s there? Banana. Banana who? Banana split so ice screamed! With all of my talk about eating, I thought some “food humor” was in order—accompanied by a free Pexels image. I’ve been wanting to share […]
Phase II
Week one has come to an end and I’m happy to report that I’m down 4 pounds. What’s even better? It’s the beginning of week TWO! Now it’s time to shake things up. I’ve been […]
Stealing the Spotlight
The shy and the extroverted have this in common—that they both fancy they are the center of attention. Robert Breault I think that quote is excellent. In Developmental Psychology we learned about the imaginary audience […]
Road Rage
I’m at the end of Day 3 and I’ve had an enlightening afternoon. I thought I’d write down a few tidbits before bed. I’ve been hyper focused on food—and the fact that I want to […]
New Lifestyle, New Me
THE LAUNCH It’s Day One of my Lifestyle Makeover. The starting line was originally set for a week from today—my sober anniversary—but the first of the month makes more sense. It also gives me one […]
Sweet & Sour

Everything looks so different when the light starts to shine.
In the Jungle
If I were a flying insect…
…this might be my view as I make my way through the wheat grass.
Something is Stirring
I thought I would use this particular Garden Art piece to do a little journaling and (publicly) admit something. I’ve been wanting to share this for awhile now, but I didn’t want it to be another one of “those things” that I bring up and start… and then never finish.
