Get in mah belleh!*
*When I first drafted this post in response to Jen’s comment, I had titled it “breaking the fast”. Then I went and checked my cheezburgers, and thought this more appropriate.

In the past, I’ve really struggled to stomach breakfast within an hour or two of waking up. [...]

Good morning, sunshine!
That is rarely my attitude upon waking up. Many mornings, it takes a few snooze-button cycles for me to pry myself out of bed, stumble to the bathroom and take a mostly-asleep shower. After a hot shower, I’m usually pretty awake, but it can be painful before then! My weekday mornings consist of wake up, [...]

It’s been three days since the break up.
I’m doing okay. There have been vegetables and chocolates, tears and joy, deep exhausted sleep and insomnia. I’m a study in contradiction this week, apparently.

It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced a breakup, and never before with my body or my mind. I think it’s going to be hard, and there will be tears and stress. I’m probably going [...]

Letting Go.
Sometime in the next year, Adam and I are going to move out of our current place. It’s a decent apartment, but it was a place I choose after ages of desperate apartment hunting, so it wasn’t ideal. It’s a basement, so it’s cold and we get lots of spiders (ew), among other annoyances.

I don’t have a lot to say today, because my heart and mind are with the community of Bathurst.

As I wrote about last week, Sunday was shopping day. Now, I kept most of my promises from that post – got out for a trail-walk on Saturday, and did most of my shopping.
But.
I did wimp out on the bathing suit part of the expedition. I was just NOT in the right place, emotionally, to [...]

Today is the big day – my switch from the introductory phase of the Best Life Diet (Phase 1) to the more comprehensive, active Phase 2. Over the next couple days, I’ll be writing about what this means for my nutrition, physical activity, and emotional/mental efforts. Today is also the first day of a [...]
