Holy Hades!

See what happens when I post about crappy weather and lots of rain?   Yeah. It's 7:30pm and 91*.  Once it cools down to the 70's, I'll be happy as a clam..this HIGH heat is almost nauseating! Notice that it'll be 92* tomorrow, but 68* on Wednesday? Guarantee I'll get sick because of the drastic...

Week 16

I didn't lose anything this week. No point in posting a picture since I stayed the same, despite changing up my workout routine, tracked my calories and stuck with my eating plan. Thanks, Plateau. I'm extremely frustrated right now. Yes, I feel better since I've lost weight in general..but..to feel...

Let There Be .... Noise.

I absolutely love where we live. We're in a nice neighborhood..we're within a reasonable distance if we wanted to walk or bike into town. It's quite for the most part, except when it's obviously time for people to leave work and go home..this street seems to turn into the autobahn since people speed...

Why, Mother Nature? Why?

The weather here has been "ridonkulous" as of late. I mean..come on. It's towards the end of JUNE. I've seen the sun a grand total of..hmm..two times (briefly, might I add) in the last week and a half. Given, I'd rather take *this* over insanely hot and humid days, but I'd LOVE it if we had a few solid...

Invest in yourself

I remember when I was growing up, my Mom had this annoying gift that she'd be able to get a tan by just walking to the mail box and back. Our neighborhood mailbox was literally five houses away. While I, on the other hand, inherited my Dads skin which resembles something along the line of a turkey..minus...

Week 15

Aye aye aye..week 15! Time feels like it's flying by! I did my weigh in this morning and I'm down only 2 ounces since my last weigh in. As much as I wanna say ,"That totally sucks" since I busted my ass all week long....I'm also taking into consideration that I'm gaining muscle. So, I'm not kicking...

Self Service Tan

When I was livin' the life in gorgeous California, I never realized how much of a "tan" I actually had until I moved to  Belgium. Given, I wasn't as tan as others, but I didn't look nearly as transparent as I am now.  Since I've been here, I've ended up with a Ghost Tan: a type of tan one...

Week 14

"Slow and steady wins the race." - Tortoise It's officially Week 14 and I'm down another 1.2lbs! I think my metabolism is finally starting to "wake up" and get with the program. In all honesty, I'm surprised (really) that I lost anything since Mother Nature decided to visit and made this week rather...

Inkydinkydoodah

For the last...hmmm...five or six years, I've been wanting to get another tattoo. Yes, another. Some people don't even know I have two because 1). They're not out in the open. 2). I don't flash 'em. I got my first one when I was eighteen, got the typical butterfly with tribal design..and yes, it's across...

Food Scale...Complete!

Ah! The rest of the goodies I ordered for my scale has finally arrived! My scale is all finished!I was really torn between cheeseburgers with fries, or donuts with chocolate chip cookies...but after enough debating, the sweets won the battle: I just realized if you've never read any of my earlier posts,...

Babies Make Everything Better!

Well, baby animals..that is! About a month after we moved into our Belgian home, one of the horses in the pasture next to us had an adorable foal which we ended up naming "Baby Girl". In total, there's one male, which we call Stud Muffin, and two mares (one is Mistress and the one that had the baby...
