A month ago I noticed something different in my life: I looked forward to putting on clothes! I’m a full-time pj lover (especially since I started working from home) and usually almost dread getting dressed because previously everything was too tight and uncomfortable including (TMI) my bras and underwear. I felt like a sausage stuffed in its casing. Continue reading “Tight Clothing”
I don’t understand people.
Let me be more specific. I have a friend that has complained about a few things over the years (as all people do): I’m gaining too much weight, I’m spending too much money etc. When someone asks me for advice on how to fix something I happily provide my opinion. I don’t offer it without someone else’s prompting. Continue reading “Motivation and Wanting It Bad Enough”
I’ve done it. Previously my longest streaks of weight loss were 3-6 months. The only time I went 6 months the last 3 months included a scale yo-yo while I fought my body’s starvation instincts. I lost maybe 5 lbs in those last 3 months.
WOOOOAH! I wasn’t sure I would get here in 2017. I wasn’t sure I would get here at all to be honest. I’ve only seen a 1.3. on the scale two other times in my life: after starving myself for 3 months while living on a boat in the Mediterranean and after starving myself during my first 6 months in the workforce, which I’ve mentioned before.
We recently added a new hobby to our permanent repertoire. The stereotype of a Seattleite is a crunchy, liberal, outdoors person…and I must admit that’s pretty much accurate 🙂 . In Manhattan weekend activities included going to bars, going to bottomless mimosa brunch and complaining about your week. It was a bit of culture shock when we moved to Seattle because weekends are completely different. Continue reading “Frugal Mini Travel: Camping”
During my failed no drinking month I decided to start exercising at home. When I first moved to Seattle I would walk 1.5 miles to work and 1.5 miles home (which included a few large hills). Since I started working from home my walking has decreased greatly and I wanted to offset my lack of exercise. I felt like a bit of a lump, especially with the weather getting colder I’ve really settled into my hibernation instincts. Continue reading “Getting Swol”
I’m obsessed with data. I love tracking everything and then looking back and analyzing, optimizing. It basically gives me a high. When I don’t have anything to analyze and optimize I get a little sad and offer my services to friends. That…doesn’t usually go over too well 🙂 . Continue reading “A Love of Data and Weighing Myself”
As long as I can remember I’ve gotten sick fairly regularly. Nothing serious, just a cold and the sniffles every 3-6 months. Usually I got sick around exam time in school – maybe because of the additional stress. I’d be the one sniffling in a quiet room and bothering everyone else. Sorry y’all! As a child I had strep throat every few years as well. I think I had it like 4 times which apparently can become deadly with that frequency. Luckily I’m still alive!
