Things are not as easy this round through. For some reason in my mind, even though I know the closer you get to a goal weight, the harder it is, I thought my attitude and just doing the same would propel me there with ease. Yeah right!

I can't break my plateau, and I have been at it for almost three weeks. I know that doesn't seem like a ton of time ( Read more... )

Those of you who know me know how, in many ways, I have walked the straight and narrow in my life. I mean this in regards to addictions: I have never tried cigarettes, never tried any form of illegal drug (including marijuana), I rarely drink, and I have had a conservative sex life. but we all have our addictions in one form or another, and mine is ( Read more... )

Though I have a rich life, I am coming to see how boringly predictable I am. I bet most of these resolutions you could gather yourself *YAWN*. I know, but this is me, Ms. Boring Rich Life. If anything this is just for me, to write down what's in my head. But in case anyone's interested, feel free to read. I was planning on following in Davebot's ( Read more... )

I don't know if I have ever talked about this before on here, but I am a firm believer in something called synchronicity, which is the idea that when you want something and you throw that desire out to the universe (God, the powers that be, whatever you personally call it), the universe will work to bring it to fruition. And if you're aware of it, ( Read more... )

This morning I met with my editor. She is from Pittsburgh originally, and she is in town this week to visit family with her kids. I have only gotten together with her in person once before, in September of last year, so needless to say I was a little nervous. But she has always been lovely, so off to the Mall at Robinson I went.

To put it simply, it ( Read more... )

So, I'm back! I have been taking a fitness break for the month of November, but that time has past my friends. When I stopped, I weighed what I usually weigh when I am feeling like a normal weight. I am in a size 10 and I am pretty comfortable. But this time is different. I am ready to go all the way this time. I want to be healthy and fit and see ( Read more... )

I have about three or four entries backed up in my mind that I want to post, but I'm not sure if I'll have the time today. But I had to post this quickly because it was so fun and so rad!

I am helping with a play currently being put on in Pittsburgh; it is fun because I am good friends with three of the people working there, and the new friends I ( Read more... )

When I was talking with my photography friend Nick the other night about lighting, we also chatted about a picture of his he took a while ago where he put his camera on long exposure to do a night shot, but also used a flash to illuminate himself. It is probably my favorite self-portrait he has ever taken... so awesome, in fact, that I'm going to ( Read more... )

After about a month off, I decided to hop back on the exercise wagon this afternoon. Since I had increased my running speed a decent amount over my weight loss, I thought I'd slow it down and just ease back in with a light jog for only about a mile, which works out to be about 12 minutes or so ( Read more... )
