Note to self: Don’t get cocky
Note to self: Don’t get cocky In the grand scheme of things, I am still really proud of where I am. Trying really hard to focus on the positives. Humor me for a moment while I ruminate on a life lesson… Sometimes life is overwhelming… And old habits are sneaky little you know whats! Last…

Capturing the magic of summer
Where did the summer go? When I was a kid the summer was magical. We ran around, had big block parties, and played with all our friends until we zonked out. The air was warm during the day, with the sun kissing your skin. The night time had cooler air, and the zing of bug…

Vacation from vacation
Shake it off! I came home from my NY adventure exhausted both physically and emotionally. And up 2 pounds. (Splurge meal was planned for the Wednesday night after party… Not exactly the party I had hoped for!) I learned a lot about show business, the not so wonderful side. I know I posted about the…

Handling the splurge
Yesterday I posted that I came home from a weekend of family, weddings, parties, and stress (I guess I didn’t really need to point that out, since families are rarely calming influences). Thought I would post today about what it means to me to pull my britches up and move on with life. Got up…

Cheers to always having a backup plan
My nephew married the love of his life on Friday. The wedding was a 7 hour drive away, 2 days of events, and the drive home. No problem! Packed my cooler, packed my IP stuff, packed my shaker cup… And then everything went blank. My mother and I argued, my brother was making us late.…

My Journey to Phase 4
The journey isn’t over when you reach goal. It’s just Phase 4! I’ve identified my whole life as the “fat girl”. When I was 8 years old, I joined weight watchers. That’s right EIGHT YEARS OLD. I come from a long line of alcoholics who also happened to be some of the best chefs in…
