On the way to work today, I was listening to RX 93.1′s The Morning Rush and I was laughing out loud —literally— at today’s topic. It was such a welcome reprieve from the bad dream, or should I say nightmare, that shook my world this morning. Today’s Top 10 topic was what song or movie [...]

One year ago today, February 26 (the second photo was taken the next day), I looked like this: Egaaaad…..I was still pretty I’d like to think, but eeeewwww, right? Here are two of my more recent photos: Granted I still have a long ways to go and for those who didn’t know me before it [...]

A few weeks ago when I was looking for a poem for my kids’ moving up day program, I came across one of those old nursery rhymes we used to memorize to recall the days of the week. It goes a like this (as seen in seen in Wikipedia ) : Monday’s child is fair [...]

I am a homebody. Really, I am. If I would, I would spend the entire day at home, just letting myself be. No need to project prettify, no need to doll up, no need to be whatever. The downside to being that, however, is that it opens myself up to being lazy, especially with my [...]

Now this seems to be a complete antithesis for me…especially since I keep hearing that if you would like to lose weight, you should avoid eating at bedtime, right?

A few months ago, around December to be exact, I wrote a post that I aptly entitled “In the not-so-still of the night”. Back then I was battling nighttime monsters that kept me up all night and really made sleep so elusive to me. However, lately, even though I still have my moments of struggling [...]

The other day as I was dressing for yoga class, I glanced at the mirror and caught a glimpse of my tattoo. Sometimes I forget it’s there, actually. At times I wonder what lead to my deciding to get that done in the first place haha. Nonetheless on that day, it made me smile a [...]

And so my battle with the weighing scale still lives on…. gaaaah I swear. It’s soooo frustrating. Yes, my clothes fit a wee, tiny bit better. Yes, my cheeks are smaller and more defined. Yes, my body feels lighter. BUT WHY??? Evilness in numbers I swear. My conclusion: no matter what they say, math and [...]

A few days ago I finally had to cut my hair. Well, trim it by three and a half inches, to be exact. I’m not to ready to go short again. However, I finally had to concede and cut my hair because it was falling like mad. Apparently, at times, weight loss can cause hair [...]
