MDWLC - Week 15

Finally, we’ve had a little movement. I’m down a .5 pound this week and I think it’s because I’m walking more. Or I guess I should say I’m trying to walk more.
Eating out still remains a big obstacle for me. I know what I should have, I should have a big problem [...]

ssshhhhh! it’s a surprise!

Dave and I just planned a weekend away…with the kids.
We got an ad in the mail for one of those hotels that have an indoor waterpark attached.
Jake and Emma? Yeah. They love water. A lot. As long as it doesn’t get in their eyes. Then we could have a problem.
Anyway, [...]

Blushing…

I have been honored with an award that caught me totally by surprise. Really, any award catches me by surprise, but anyway.

Tammi at ValleyGirl has found me worthy of the Nice Matters Award, and her description of me was truly humbling.

As for the award itself:

“This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; [...]

MDWLC - Week 14

Well, I think it’s safe to say, I’v flatlined…literally. As you can see from my nifty graph below, not a whole heck of a lot of movement on the scales. Oh well, that’s that way it goes sometimes. I’ve been doing really well with getting 8500 steps a day in and I’m [...]

We had a pretty good weekend. We spent the whole day together on Saturday doing family stuff which [...]

Smart Habit Saturday

So here we are again. If you read my post yesterday, you would know things haven’t been going so well here. If you didn’t read my post yesterday, let me tell you. Things haven’t been going so well here.

What I need to start doing is simplifying, just like Lara talked about today. I need to [...]

Slipping away

I’m not feeling a whole lotta joy in my life right now.
It sounds harsh, but it’s true. I feel myself wanting to retreat into a little hole of nothingness and not come out until….I don’t know when. I don’t know what the conditions would need to be to get myself out of this current downward [...]

The tag - part 2: Me & My Hubby

This is the 2nd meme that Sue at Living My Dream tagged me with: The Me & My Hubby Meme. Here are 8 random facts about Dave and I:

While Dave will try any food once (shirako, anyone?), he prefers a single scoop of vanilla ice cream as dessert. I’m the exact opposite. I’m a very [...]
