Come back Sunshine! Come back!!

I don't have a great idea on what to write about. I still feel a little emotionally exhausted but I'm not eating my troubles away so that is a great thing. My jeans are starting to feel baggy though so I'm excited to go get some new jeans that show off my new tighter rear end...

I really really miss my walks. I noticed the sun came up earlier today and I can't wait until the snow is pretty much gone so I can get back to my route. I am struggling to find a workout routine that fits into my life like the walks did. I like to get up early to do it and get it out of the way. The great thing about walking is that I can do it out of the house and come home to shower. I really don't like working out in front of people. Nancy has been great in inviting me to her house to do the Jillian workouts but it is so hard to get up there to do it after work. I'm sure she'd be up for doing it in the morning but the travel time makes such a big difference in my sleep schedule.

I know. I'm full of excuses. I just need to do but I can't find the gumption right now to make the sacrifices I need to without wearing myself so thin that I hate getting up in the morning. I have never hated a winter as much as I have hated this one. Luckily it is snowing again and shoveling is probably in my future tonight.

Due to lack of inspiration and a plethora of snowy tundra I'm going to cut tonight's post short. :)

A Good Man

I have come to learn from doing this blog that I don't do stress well. When I'm stressed I'm not myself and I'm pretty miserable to be around. Yesterday, with a research paper staring me down, I let myself get worked up and stress got the better of me. On my last day of a wonderful 3 day weekend, I was... well... a shrew. I don't think I'm alone though. I think we all have our moments that we look back on and feel a deep shame for being so absolutely ridiculous. Certainly sometimes it is warranted but, for me, when I get like that I'm usually being pretty absurd.... like "How come you're not reading my mind and just do what I think you should be doing?!" I should also note that I'm one of those people that when I'm all pissy I can't help but slam things around. Anything I touch, I touch with force. I'm not proud of that but I can't seem to help myself. Luckily for me, the love of my life has the patience of a saint. In m

If it Weren't for Those Meddling Carbs...

If I am not writing, I am probably busy eating something that would make Shaggy and Scooby jealous... Not writing makes it easier to ignore that I am not living up to a commitment that I've made to myself. Writing reminds me how often I have taught others how to treat me by how I treat myself. Writing exposes me to exactly how uncomfortable I am when I am vulnerable. Vulnerability is why I eat like cartoon characters and pretend I won't gain weight like a human being.  I am certain that I am not unique in this dance with vulnerability. The world is a briar patch full of thorny shit and long ago we humans learned how to armor up to protect ourselves from being stuck around every corner. When we are kids, fresh into this chronologically excursion through the pricklies, we are just trying to figure out the world, it doesn't take an immense amount of brains to realize that getting poked hurts, hurting sucks, and protecting yourself from getting poked means you will hurt less.

Weight Loss Myths

Daylight savings time has actually had a pretty positive effect on my workouts. My inner clock is still set to wake up happy between 6:30- 6:45a except the actual time now is 5:30-5:45a. I  don't feel groggy or like I'm missing out on any sleep AND it is light out earlier so I don't get intimidated by the darkness and use it as an excuse to go back to bed. When I wake up earlier I feel better about the workout. It makes me feel like I'm one of those fitness bad asses that actually enjoy waking up early to workout. I feel like I set myself up for more productivity when I've already been up and worked out before I get to work. The one downside is that the "fall back" happens in November when it gets super cold in the mornings. This morning I woke up and enjoyed all of the aforementioned things and then I stepped out onto the porch and felt how cold it was. I pushed through and did some running just to warm up! When I finished my walk I was chilled but comf
