Peonies in my neighborhood...so gorgeous. Hello, friends! Did everyone have a good weekend? I certainly did. I didn't do anything special. It was just relaxing. Who all watched the Game of Thrones finale? I might be the lone ranger in this opinion, but I liked it. I went into this last season with no preconceived … Continue reading everything ok?
a weighty perspective
I think if I tried to summarize this blog 5 words it would probably be "Sarah Struggles to Lose Weight." I'm frankly kind of embarrassed that is what the sum of my thoughts have centered upon. It's pretty boring too. Anywho, in light of my recent attempts to shed some of the mental and emotional … Continue reading a weighty perspective
but then I stopped.
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN, Physical video, circa 1981-82 I'm writing this during the day. ON MY LUNCH BREAK. Yeah, I still can't get over that. 🙂 So this morning I did something that I wanted to write about. You want to know what it was? I didn't go to the gym and I didn't feel guilty about … Continue reading but then I stopped.
Soft.
It's been a week since I admitted to you all that I'm struggling with stress and anxiety. Truth be told, I've been struggling for a while but it's just gotten to the point that I didn't feel I could handle it without help. So I've made changes. I've tried several changes in lifestyle this week. … Continue reading Soft.
not today
Did everyone watch Game of Thrones on Sunday? One thing I love/hate about social media is that you either love something so much you talk incessantly about it (like me and GoT) or you hate it and you rail on everyone who DOES like it (and you tell everyone about it.) Anyway, I digress, GAME … Continue reading not today
we aren’t promised happiness
I listened to a podcast the other day. It was very interesting and to be honest I'll probably need to listen to it again as it has me struggling on a few points. The one thing that stuck with me, that I just can't let go because of the truth of it, is the statement … Continue reading we aren’t promised happiness
Black coffee and honesty
One of my compromises with myself when I started this blog (in deference to my last one) was to be completely honest. You get the good and the bad, the ups and downs, the wins and the losses. Why be fake? Why try to trick everyone into believing that life is rosy all the time … Continue reading Black coffee and honesty
food sensitivity and me
There are all these companies out there these days that want to examine your blood/DNA/saliva and let it tell you all about you. I've always been curious about what my blood might tell me. So at the end of the year I purchased a Food Sensitivity and Metabolism test from Everlywell. The Metabolism test needed … Continue reading food sensitivity and me
the calm and the storm
Flying over a thunderstorm outside of Dallas this past October I think I've stared at the "Add title" part of this post for a good 20 minutes. I just finished writing a very mopey post about memories and pain. It's still in my drafts but I'll probably never post it. I'm sure everyone is tired … Continue reading the calm and the storm
tired and hungry and sore
Well, I think my title says it all. It fully encapsulates this week. I started Phase II of my new year journey on Monday. I jumped in with both feet. Phase II included new programming at the gym (both strength and HIIT), calorie and macro guidelines based on my reading of Fat Loss Forever, and … Continue reading tired and hungry and sore
