I’ve apparently reached that fun stage of life where I get to experience the unforeseen joy of things that can only be labeled unglamorously as “gallbladder issues”. In April last year I spent a week in misery and all loathsome symptoms (you can look them up if you want to but let’s just say I…

Glass Backwards
Do you ever see pictures of yourself and think “Well, poop.”? Ben and I both have mirrors over our dressers and of course over the sink in the bathroom, but the woman I see in family photos recently looks more like a “before” picture than an “after”. It’s easy to forget and think it’s not…
Self-what?
I am beating myself up this morning because I caved and got a strawberry milkshake at Chick-Fila last night. That little voice is saying, kind of loudly, “Who are you to write about self-control?” Shut it, Devil. We are all works in progress. Just because we have not mastered something does not mean we haven’t…
Friday
Have you ever been the chunky girl trying to create a business in the health and wellness industry? The only one happily spreading butter thick on a warm baguette while your team spritzes lemon wedges over their quinoa and beet superfood salads? The one who just wants to drink a fruity glass of red and…
Healthy (ish) Recipes and Meal Planning
Does anyone else get excited to plan a dinner menu for the week? No, just me? Alright then. It has been a month. Stratas and barbecue and burgers, oh thighs. It is time. Healthy eating time, that is. If I lose ten pounds a week from now until June I can still hit my goal….
Mrs.Who?
Did anyone else have an identity crisis when they tied the knot? I can no longer identify as “single plump waitress living in friend’s attic with constipated cat”. No wonder I didn’t get much action on E-Harmony. Just kidding. Mostly. The truth is, I spent many years not quite fitting in with the people around…
New Year, Same Me
Angela, December 31- Up a few pounds because, well, cheese. Wondering when things will finally come together because life hasn’t progressed by standards of the “American Dream”. Also, I live in an attic with my constipated cat and rang in New Years on the couch wearing teddy bear pajamas and commenting on how good people…
A Weighty Dilemma
I feel like a drug dealer. I work in a restaurant known for it’s 1,000+ calorie desserts. Most menu choices are over the daily recommended calorie intake..for one meal or one piece of cake! Gravy, cream sauce, extra cheese..you want it, we got it. As I learn more about the obvious link between nutrition and…
Sparky
I stepped on my cat while shaking my tailfeather this morning. He’s fine. Probably. I am in a great mood today because I am officially ON THE WAGON. The vegetable wagon, that is. I was veggan ( vegan+eggs) for the first three weeks of January, but I didn’t feel of look any different by the…
Not that I’m Counting.. Obviously
Dear Jesus, I’m pretty sure I’ve been praying for help to LOSE weight. Love, W.T.Fill in the Blank I made the mistake of getting on the scale today. After three really sweaty workouts last week and a successful smaller portion eating routine, I definitely believed I was on my way to the hotter, slimmer me…
