Yep, I was on vacation for the past week, which is why I didn’t post. I was actually planning on posting, but after Harper’s Retreat, I got sick. I think it was a combination of stress (running an event, even a successful one, is stressful) and the fact that allergies are killing me, and poor …

(health) Thoughts on stress
Posted on August 26, 2013
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/eating) Revelations
Posted on August 12, 2013
Not the book from the Bible, but my own personal revelations as I continue to work on my eating and exercise habits. I’m discovering that left to my own devices, I’ll eat pretty healthy, but there are some major roadblocks I still fall into: 1. Preplanning I suck at this. Actually, the part I suck …
(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) 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, …
(personal/update/writing) I really don’t do this blogging thing well, do I?
Posted on April 21, 2013
I’m trying, I really am. I need to get myself on a schedule again, where I settle in to write before work, so it’s done. I also need to start working on more blog posts. I just feel like I don’t know quite what to say, so blogging feels – I dunno. Self-aggrandizing. Ah well, …
(personal) Only 1 blister! Score!
Posted on April 7, 2013
Yesterday was the day I ran my first solo 5k. I did run about half of it – walked the other half, but that is fine. My time was 1.05.56 – better than the last race (I think we were at 1.30 or something), and I was able to run across the finish line. More …
(personal) Musings on birthdays and life
Posted on April 1, 2013
It’s my birthday today. Today is the last time I will celebrate a birthday in my 30s – next year is the big 4-0. I was talking to my new doctor on Thursday and you know, I don’t FEEL like I’m staring 40 in the face. I don’t even feel 30. I look at myself, …
