My highest weight was 196.4 and my lowest was 186.2. I tracked my weekly average weight this month. This is the weekly…

Artistic Rehab

I noticed it a few years ago.  I had to push myself to create.  Guilt myself into writing. Or impose a deadline by having to produce something by a specific date. It felt like my creative fire had gone out. And then the pandemic hit and I thought I would have the time or motivation…

May 2022 Mile Marker

This was one of those two-steps-forward and one-step-backward kind of months. Meaning that the last two months my weight went down, but my weight for May went up.

Fasting Frustrations

It’s mid-January and my daily weigh-in tells me that my weight has gone up again. Intermittent Fasting is a back and forth game. I know that. But today’s weight is more than I have weighed in two years! The weight will go back down. I’m not worried. But at this rate, my average monthly weight…

If Hope is the thing with Feathers…

It’s been a tough week.  Some friends have passed away.  And some famous people have passed on, too.  It felt like every day for the last week someone I knew or someone I knew of died. For some odd reason Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the thing with feathers” has popped into my head.  If…
