Food frustrations

Hey, everyone! I am having a fairly good day, though I’m a bit tired because it took me forever to fall asleep last night. My mind was going a mile a minute, likely because yesterday was my first day back at work after a nice, long vacation. So, I did gain two pounds over my

What’s good for you could be bad for you

Hello! I am crazy late with today’s post, but that’s because I wanted to wait until after my doctor’s appointment concerning my liver and autoimmune condition (GPA). I was way too nervous to write anything earlier. So, I still don’t really have any answers. I have to wait for the results from the bloodwork and

Finally, some progress

Hi! I’m really excited today. For the first time, I have finally noticed some progress with exercising. So, yesterday afternoon, I did some yard work. I trimmed a bunch of trees and took all of the branches from the bottom of the back yard up the hill to the road. I took about eight trips

What a long weight wait

Finally. Finally finally finally. After TWO WEEKS at a weight-loss plateau, I FINALLY lost another pound. I am now at 26 pounds of weight lost. That was the most frustrating two weeks, I swear.

Isolation insanity

Howdy, folks. I am doing well today after feeling horrible yesterday. I am still not 100 percent sure what was wrong with me, but I think that a huge factor was that it was just too hot to go for a jog yesterday. That, combined with some other issues, made for a bad day. So,

What the health? Part 2

Hello! First off, I just want to say that my brain has resumed normal functions after yesterday’s full-on frazzled state. I wrote this blog and went for a jog/walk, and that was all I did yesterday. I just could not concentrate on anything. Today, I’m back on track, and I’d like to talk more about

A little of this, a little of that

This entry is going to have no real focus, since there are a few things I want to talk about. First, I just really wanted to emphasize that I am doing this blog for fun. I am a copy editor, and I didn’t really want to hyper-focus on editing on my time away from work.
