Pin itI am feeling a little complacent. Lazy, if you will. I have reached an all time low (weight) in my journey, and I feel like I’m stumbling, for lack of a better word. I WANT to lose the rest of the weight, believe me I do. I just feel like I’m lacking in motivation, [...]

Pin itChristy is visiting me and last night, while I was preparing dinner, she schooled me about trimming the fat of the pot roast. Apparently, I am supposed to trim the fat BEFORE I put the roast into the crock pot, not AFTER. DOH! It totally makes sense now that she ever so gently mentioned [...]

Pin it My laptop hard drive crashed on Saturday. Forty-eight hours ago. I am without my lifeline to the outside world and it feels so wrong. Dell promises to have another hard drive in my sweaty, shaking palms soon, hopefully by tomorrow. In the meantime, I’m forced to use my dinosaur desktop, which won’t even [...]
