Down Time Therapy

Ahhhhh...I feel SO much better! Getting out of Belgium and hanging out with some friends was just what the doctor ordered. Don't get me wrong, I have people here that I enjoy hanging out with, but it's different when there's not various hidden strings attached or underlying motives.  Eric &...

Week 12

Maybe it's a good thing that Eric was gone this week? lol. I managed to lose 1.8lbs! Hopefully my plateau was short lived *fingers crossed* so maybe I'll start making some additional progress. I'm just SHY of being 20lbs lighter and I can definitely tell since my pants are literally getting too lose...

Mumble Mumbly Mum

I've been pretty quiet as of late. I suppose it's because I have a lot on my mind and I'm keeping myself occupied with other things rather than stewing in whatever it is I'm feeling. In a sense, that energy is getting invested into other adventures instead of me epically blowing up on people * thumbs up *  I'll give you a worth while blog in a few days since I'll be out of town for the three...

Week 11 Flop

Well. It's finally happened. I hit a plateau. My weight loss has been crawling ever so slowly and I was bracing myself for a weigh-in with no progress..and..it happened yesterday. I didn't bother taking a picture since there really wasn't much of a point. I'm still at the same weight, despite eating...

Week 10?!

Holy gawd..it's already week 10!?! Where has time gone?!  I did my weigh in this morning before Eric and I headed out to Germany to pick up a deep freezer. So, sorry this is getting posted later in the evening (my time). I've been on the hunt for a freezer for a while since we've been on a waiting...

Deadsies

* SIGH * I'm rather annoyed right now because my Blackberry has officially bit the dust. Given, I assisted it with it's current condition..call me "butter fingers" if you want... but I'm just annoyed that one simple drop caused it to completely die.  Sure, it still turns on. Fabulous, right? No.  See...

Art is not a thing; it is a way.

Some of my readers have known me for years (prior to starting this blog), while others have known me since I've moved to Belgium. For the ones that have known me for quite some time, you know that I did paintings, sculptures, restoration pieces and a lot of other types of media art pieces. I absolutely...

Week 9

Well, hey..look at that. I actually lost something! I feel ridiculously bloated right now thanks to Mother Nature and it's making me so cranky. Last week, my pants were literally sagging off my hips and now they feel like they're painted on. VERY annoying!! Today is our earned "cheat day" and Eric's...

Exercise Fairy Strikes Again

The weather has been getting nicer and nicer over here in Belgie,  but the bugs seem to be getting bigger and bigger. And, more annoying. I love taking Izzy, Macie or Cole on walks..but the bugs are REALLY annoying me! I feel like I'm constantly being bombed while walking near the fields (which...

Sparatic Update

I figured I'd do a update about the various things that've been going on other than posting my weight updates and food stuff. Change is good, right? * I'm retaining water like crazy and it's driving me nuts. Mother Nature is definitely rearing her ugly head my way because I can't even take my rings...
