Yikes, I didn’t realize how long it had been since the last time I posted anything here. Well, I started this blog for one big reason: To improve my frazzled daisy self one petal at a time. Funny thing is, when one does something like that, one tends to not have time to write inContinue reading “Half lazy, half every other excuse”

Marking one year
Hello! Today marks one year since I started isolating at home due to the coronavirus. I can’t remember what I ate for dinner last night, but I will never forget the week this all started. MARCHOne year ago, on March 16, I had an eye doctor appointment. I remember the news becoming more and moreContinue reading “Marking one year”
Right steps, slow results
Hello, hello, hello. It’s been such a stressful week. It’s been good stress mixed with bad stress, but, unfortunately, there has been more bad stress. A couple people were laid off at work. And guess who gets to do their jobs? The copy desk. And guess who is also getting laid off sometime soon? TheContinue reading “Right steps, slow results”
Feeling a bit wiped out
Hello, hello. I’m a bit late today with my blog post. I had a doctor’s appointment with my primary care physician this morning. I had blood taken, so as soon as I got home, I had to eat and take my meds. I was a little light-headed from getting the blood taken. I used toContinue reading “Feeling a bit wiped out”
Heading to the doctor, and I’m actually excited
Hello! I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow with my primary care physician. And for the first time ever, I am actually looking forward to it. I can’t wait for her to see how much weight I’ve lost. I’m still at 34 pounds, but it’s way less than what I weighed when I saw her inContinue reading “Heading to the doctor, and I’m actually excited”
Finding the right balance
Howdy, folks. Guess what? I’m stuck on another weight loss plateau. I think that I need to readjust my routine yet again. When I started this in June, I decided to forego lunch and only eat dinner. That worked great for weight loss (and saving money), but apparently it affected my health otherwise. I hadContinue reading “Finding the right balance”
So many benefits of weight loss
Hey, all. I’ve lost more than 30 pounds with diet and exercise over a few months, and I have to say: I feel really great. When I weighed 230 pounds, I had a lot of problems: high blood pressure, my knees were making terrible noises, I had problems sleeping, I felt gross, I got windedContinue reading “So many benefits of weight loss”
Feeling less isolated
Hello! So, one of the reasons I started a blog was to work on changing myself “one petal at a time.” And you know, I wasn’t sure how the blog would go. Would anyone read it? Would I get ridiculed or barraged by insults? My brain usually goes to the worst in “what’s the worstContinue reading “Feeling less isolated”
Walking in a memory wonderland
Hello, folks! I am doing well on my weight loss. I am now below 200 pounds! I am SO happy about that. Yesterday, I went for nice walk to the local park, and I was hit by some memories. Well, my dad and I walked in that park a lot. It was always fun becauseContinue reading “Walking in a memory wonderland”
Coincidences can be bizarre
Hello! First a quick update: I can’t remember the last weight I announced here, so if I’m repeating myself, I apologize. I have lost 32 pounds now. Also, yesterday I did yard work again, and I was not tired at all. It actually involved bending over quite a bit, which would have absolutely killed myContinue reading “Coincidences can be bizarre”
