I've talked about this idea a few times, but I don't think it ever hurts to revisit it. "I could tell you my adventures - beginning from this morning," Alice said a little timidly; "but it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then." I love this quote so much,… Continue reading Give yourself some context

I had always been told not to burn bridges - you never know when you want to cross them again. You know what, I'm not really sure I ever really want to. I think there are a lot of us that think about our past relationship or past goals and yeah, maybe we consider them,… Continue reading Pour the gasoline and light a match

I like to think about the bigger picture. I like to look ahead. There's so much time ahead to move through. Sometimes when I look back, time feels longer than it actually is (or was)and that's just odd, but I'm sure you've felt the same. There are other times that I feel like I'm losing… Continue reading 12 hours

Twenty-four days into food journaling and there's definitely some things I'm noticing. One, I definitely got comfortable with grains again. I don't think this is a problem, but like I mentioned the last time, I'm having to make an effort to get in green vegetables more than I ever had before, but it's getting easier.… Continue reading Food Journaling Update – Day 24

I tracked extensively from June 2014 to June 2017. I tracked on and off from July 2017 to August 2018.

16 days. And then a decade gone. It's so weird to think about being here. As a teenager there were days I didn't think I could wake up again. I don't know if I've felt that same way since, although I know there were times that I thought about death and dying. As adults, there… Continue reading I got ahead of myself

There's an intersection, however, where our "what's healthy" meets misconception and departs down an extreme path. most foods aren't inherently unhealthy, but sometimes the concern is what else is being paired with the food, so let's look at how you make French toast.

Words are such a tricky thing. We say actions speak louder than words, but I feel like sometimes we hold onto words more tightly. They may be quieter, but they linger. I think about words often. The ones I say to myself. The ones I say loudly, the ones I say quietly. The ones I… Continue reading Weight of words

I get kind of pissed about the conversations I see online about diet and weight loss and size. These conversations are coming from all kinds of people – not just those in the health and fitness industries. What makes me pissed or frustrated is the lack of context and the blanket statements. Rarely, do “conversations”… Continue reading Context is key: dieting and lifestyle change
