When we allow the world to pass us by at a record clip, our lives lose color and flavor. Clarity does not come from the absence of color, but more from an abundance of varied shades. The nuances allow us to rise and dip...flowing into a rhythm with context. In opposition, Colorless is a world that loses shape and contour from a life of busy. Whether the lipstick index holds validity in today's economy or not... sometimes the gift of color brought to you in a small package is all it takes to boost your s... read more »
As you know, I've been trying to lose weight. It's been a real struggle over the past 2 years. I basically baked my way through depression. After Weig.ht Wat.chers failed me, I knew something was up and a doctor was needed. Boy, do I ever wish I made that decision sooner! I've lost 18 pounds since Feb 1st (when I started this plan) for a total of 28 pounds since December 8th. 28 pounds!! Can you believe that? I still can't believe it myself. I've had to ditch most of my wardrobe. Thankfully, I still... read more »
A couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday, it poured - the rain coming down in sheets. Baseball was canceled, and we had no afternoon events scheduled. BOY GIRL played in their pajamas all day, building a fort in the living room out of couch cushions, blankets and pillows. Having recently acquired a stack of play money, they called it The Big Bucks Bank. Amazing how children figure out who has the money...Later, I was coerced into dealing with The Big Bucks Bank and two very cute Tellers. The teller window w... read more »

It's Wednesday already and I feel as though I have accomplished enough for the week so far. What about you? I like the idea of having at least 50% of the work completed on Tuesday because after Tuesday the week just sort of catches up with me and with one day class on Saturday, it's pretty hard when there's so much left to do. I'm finished with Semester A assignments! Yay! I can brag about surviving that =) Exams are in March so today I plan on getting some work done with past papers for one or two of th... read more »
My employer has a health/wellness program that is attached to the cost of our health insurance premiums. The idea is to get a certain number of points which will equal a certain amount of money off the total cost of your premium. Over the next couple months, we have been challenged to keep a food journal. It's worth 6 points. WHOA! That's a lot for one challenge. I've done well so far, eating healthy, despite the fact I can't seem to lose one stinkin' pound. That is until this weekend. The hubby and I... read more »
found on Pinterest Diet - Day 1 Yesterday wasn't too bad. I drank my water. Logged my meals. Went to zumba (still feelin' it, by the way). All in all, day 1 was a success. Diet - Day 2 Ugh. As the day goes on, the soreness is sitting in and I can't move. I don't mind that though. What is killing me is the headache from what I assume is sugar withdrawal. This always happens. Thankfully, I planned for it. I knew by 1 or 2 that my head would be throbbing. Unfortunately, it started hurting about 1... read more »
Happy New Year! I can't describe how much better I feel about this year and it's only day 2. DH and I are so thankful that we're both healthy and happy. This is a big year for us. We have so much planned. As of yesterday, we are officially in pay off, pay down and save mode. By this time next year, I hope to say we are debt free or at least close to being debt free (not including our house). I also hope to say I'm down 30 pounds. LOL We'll see how that goes. Between pregnancy and depression, those 30 po... read more »
