Obviously, I have had a major gap in posting.  The holidays and other major things have gotten in the way, and I just honestly wasn’t feeling it.  Not a good thing, but there we are. I’m not committing to getting back to posting daily again yet, as I don’t think that’s likely to happen, but […]

Fifty-nine days ago, (it’ll be two months on Thursday) I started tracking my completion of projects and items that needed to be done in my life.  Everything from the most mundane “unload the dishwasher” to the most epic “build a software product called Stitchy” goal is included in my to do list. It came from […]

In an attempt to be able to drink something more interesting than diet soda (which, lets face it, is only available in so many flavors), and less boring than water, I taste-tested several different kinds of drink powders to find my favorites.  All of these are 5 calories per 8 oz serving or less.

(Continued from Part 2) Having realized I was putting off making a to do list because I was so concerned about how much would be on it, I realized I was just going to have to make one.  So shortly before my trip out of the country, I forced myself to sit down and make […]

I’m on an Alaskan cruise, celebrating my brother’s wedding.  I believe I’ll be able to weigh myself while on the ship and I plan to continue to log liquids, so I should have data when I return.  Headed into the maelstrom of temptations – I hear there’s literally unlimited free ice cream on the ship.

My brother is getting married in a few weeks, on an Alaskan cruise.  My family is, of course, going.  I’ve never been on a cruise before – but I do know there’s some level of formality required from the clothing at certain times. And even if that weren’t true, I’m going to a wedding. Problem […]

So honestly my biggest problem is eating.  Yes, I do need to increase my activity.  But if you’re curious, you should go look up how many calories you burn running for an hour.  It’s not honestly that many more than you burn just sitting around.  Turns out, your metabolism (to put it crudely keeping your […]
