Pomp and Circumstance
Almost two weeks ago, we celebrated. We celebrated the fact that, despite all of the hurdles and temporary set-backs, my husband graduated with his Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Elementary Education. We celebrated and how much he has grown as a student in the past two years. When he first began talking about going back [...]

{source} Kate Moss may have been onto something when she says, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”. Don’t get me wrong, I still love nomming on some delicious treats but since I’ve lost 35 pounds (Whoop whoop!!) since January 1, these are the things I’ve been called: You are positively twiggy ZOMG!!! You. Are. TINY!!!!! [...]

This coming Sunday (April 1st) will officially be 3 months since I started working on eating better in an attempt to lose weight. Naturally, I hit a plateau so I added exercise into the mix. I did a post a few weeks ago about my progress and, at 7 weeks in, I had lost 20 [...]

I am not, nor will I possibly ever be an avid runner. But I know that I need to up the amount of cardio that I do (which, as of a few weeks ago was about the level of “My heartbeat speeds up when I watch a scary movie.”) and ever since I made the decision [...]

Guess what?! I weighed myself this morning and I am currently down 13.2 pounds in just under 3 weeks!! New Year’s Resolutions, FTW!!! (FTW = for the win. It took me a few minutes months to figure it out so I thought I would pass it along for those that didn’t know. It also stands for [...]

Last week after what seemed like 2-3 endless weeks of non-stop nomming on all kinds of deliciousness with work carry-ins, Christmas candy that my talented grandmothers made, Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls on more than one occasion, huge breakfasts of biscuits and gravy, bacon, pancakes, casseroles & hash browns . . . I cautiously stepped on the [...]

Lately, things have been a little trying. And by a little, I mean, I feel like we are robbing Phil to pay Steve to pay John to pay Peter to pay Paul. Money is one of those things that you can’t ever have enough of so it’s a stupid thing to fight about but it’s [...]

It’s pretty common knowledge that I’m not the most patient person on the planet (points for alliteration!). Sometimes, it’s a good thing because it motivates me to get things done. Like when I need to stick my foot up somebody’s ass. Other times, it’s something that I absolutely loathe about myself. Usually the kids’ shenanigans [...]

**Editors note: I started this post over 2 weeks ago but sometimes life gets in the way of my blogging so I’m just now getting around to posting it. In fact, much of the news that you receive on this blog in the next few weeks might be a bit stale. I apologize in advance.** [...]
