So, I hit a wall. (Don’t worry. It was a metaphorical wall.) I decided last night to go ahead and not expect myself to use the treadmill on both Sunday and Wednesday evenings. That way, I can use those times to take twice-weekly showers, and I’ll still be burning 300 calories 12 times a week,Continue reading “When the going gets tough…”

Falling asleep now!
I have great news! Well, okay, it’s not like winning-the-lottery great, but it’s pretty great! It’s mid-January, and I haven’t felt remotely triggered by the physical abuse I suffered. It occurred to me that the EMDR I did last summer must’ve helped! Wow. FINALLY!!!! I always get triggered in winter. (Don’t I?) (Yeah, I thinkContinue reading “Falling asleep now!”
My new goals
It’s occurred to me that I’m not really an unhealthy eater (although I certainly can be), but I’m not capable of dieting enough for weight loss.

The whole theme of the memoir is physical abuse and triggersContinue reading “Ready to take off here!”
Poor Aunt Linda!
My memoir has hit a snag, but I’m hoping it’s nothing major. I sort of had to jump from late high school to life after college, because nothing from that timeframe really fits into the theme of the memoir. At least, nothing I can remember. I’ve got great anecdotes from that time, but they reallyContinue reading “Poor Aunt Linda!”
I’m just channeling it.
What could be more meaningful than spreading my message? Absolutely nothing!
Quick! Don’t think about food.
So, my iffing (intermittent fasting) hasn’t gone well. Over the past few days, I’ve been stressed, and I’ve broken the fast in the evening to eat one item of junk food. Yesterday, it was a few bites of cookies. The day before, it was some sort of individually wrapped cake that someone gave my dad.Continue reading “Quick! Don’t think about food.”
