“Fuck!” Marissa shot up in bed and clutched her stomach. Another shard of pain shot through her abdomen and she had to remind herself to breathe as she fought back tears. She pulled her knees tightly against her chest, trying to stifle the shear torture she was feeling ( Read more... )

So I have to be up in 5 hours, but I don’t care. Jeffery told me he loves me, not adores me- loves me. I’m so scared. I’m going to miss him so much, and I love him, too- but I’m not in love with him, he knows that. I just want everything to be okay. I’m going to miss everyone, and I’m glad to get away from my dad and brother for awhile. I ( Read more... )

I am getting there, slowly, but I will! I lost another pound this week- Yay ( Read more... )

I hate feeling this way. I keep hoping to snap out of it, but have yet to feel rejuvenated- thinking, perhaps, its time to step back and reevaluate my current level of involvement in things.

So for the last week, I've closed myself up in my office for my last 30 minutes of lunch, turn off the light, put my feet up and practice deep breathing. It has really helped me meet the rest of my day with a ton more gusto. I can't explain how amazing it feels just to let go for just 30 minutes. I have made some real changes for the better and ( Read more... )

I feel like I have to repeat myself a lot. It's okay though, cause it is usually not to the same person, it happens when council people on nutrition, since it's generally the same advice- but applied differently depending on the person. But it helps to make that information second nature. I can't WAIT til the new dietary guidelines come out in the ( Read more... )

So...a ton has happened since my last entry- obviously... I finally finished at ASU and am running a food bank in Southeast Scottsdale. I can't express how much I love it. I come to work everyday and know that I am making a difference in the lives of the community members I serve. The best part is that it is a government job with excellent benefits ( Read more... )
