I’m under a lot of stress at the moment. I’ll be honest – it’s mostly self-inflicted. I’m autocratting (running, for those not familiar with SCA terms) a fairly large event Labor Day weekend called Harper’s Retreat, and the week before the event is always nerve-racking to me. There’s SO much that needs to be done, …

(health/personal) Dragging today.
Posted on August 19, 2013
Abused my system a little bit over the weekend (lots of gluten), and am feeling the effects today. Not really up for a post, but I’ll try later. Just letting you know I was alive.
(health/personal) New week, new things to do
Posted on July 29, 2013
I lost a lot of last week, due to work stuff, and so my healthy lifestyle took a bit of a hit. However, this is a marathon, not a sprint, so I’m back up on the horse. We will NOT discuss this weekend, when I had Domino’s pizza (and not the gluten-free type either) two …
(health/personal) Healthy Mondays!
Posted on July 22, 2013
Yep, restarting the blog. I’m sorry I’ve let it slide, but I’ve found that there are some things that have to give, and this time, it was the blog. (And the housework, this past week. Seriously. I don’t even want to THINK about people coming over, because it’s that bad. I’m in CLEAN ALL THE …
(personal/writing/health) Today is the day.
Posted on June 17, 2013
Today is the day I go back to work full-time. So naturally, today is the day I wake up with a screaming headache. Of course. I have taken tylenol and I have both water and tea next to me. I’m hoping that takes care of it. I’m also dealing with a stuffed nose, so this …
(health/personal/writing) One week in!
Posted on June 6, 2013
Today is Day 7 of going completely gluten-free and mostly sugar-free. It’s been an interesting journey. Weighed in this morning at 277.8 lbs, so up a little, but that’s okay. It’s been hard, I won’t lie. Drank Coke on Saturday, had sushi with non-GF soy sauce on Tuesday, and an ice cream cone on …
(personal/health) Taking the day off – success!
Posted on June 2, 2013
Yesterday, I was not on the computer much. Hubby and I went with friends to my parents’ lake and spent the day eating good food, enjoying good company, and soaking in perfect lake water. It was AWESOME. Exactly what I needed. And what hubby needed too. Before that, my friends Carolyn and Beard …
(food/health) Day 2 Sugar Detox
Posted on May 31, 2013
No real sugar cravings yet, although I’m sure they will come. I was offered strawberry shortcake at work, and declined. I also stayed up way too late, and am up way too early, so this will be a short entry. Breakfast was a gluten-free english muffin with two sausages and two eggs. And tea. Lunch …
(personal/health) Day 1 of the 21-day Sugar Detox
Posted on May 30, 2013
So, today’s blog post (and the posts for the next 3 weeks) are going to be heavy on food and health things. Be warned. I’ve decided that I’m going to do a 21-day challenge to myself of eating mostly Paleo (I say mostly, because I’m not giving up rice or potatoes yet. I need …
(writing/to-do/health) Thoughts on the eve of a long weekend
Posted on May 22, 2013
So, I’ve been back to work on the Day Job for three half-days. Today, I’m exhausted (although I don’t know if it’s because of the two hours at the dentist today to repair a broken tooth or just low stamina), but I have the next FIVE days off, so I’ll be able to sleep in, …
