My cycle started this morning. It kind of came out of nowhere. At least it waited until we came back from camping. Yay?  While I’d been expecting it earlier, it’s actually almost exactly 28 days since the last cycle. Honestly, I’d been hoping that since I just spotted last month that maybe, perhaps, I was […]

A few weeks ago, I changed my thyroid medication, or rather, went back to my old medication. I’d been having what I call exhaustion colds, and also feeling as if I just didn’t have the energy I once did. I felt old, like my internal battery was wearing out. The good news is that the

Shifted this forward one day as we’re going camping. Lost more weight this week. Possibly more than one pound. We’ll see what the scale says next week. YAY! I tried to be a lot more conscious this week. While I still tend to overeat, particularly if I go to a restaurant, I then didn’t eat

I’m really glad that I’ve built up this habit of working in coffee shop, especially this morning. The panic is mostly gone, just a sliver remaining.

The scale finally moved back down again. I’m back to where I was at week six. Wow. Had to look that up this morning. That’s a LOT longer than than I’d expected. Four weeks with either no movement or weight gain. This is part of why I’m doing a public accountability. So I won’t blow

But basically, buy the full Sorcery and Steam bundle, send me your email confirmation, and I’ll send you a link to my starter library! Back to our regularly

This last week, going out to coffee shops every morning, has been really educational. I figured I’d post about some of the lessons I’ve learned this week. Job-ness. Going out every morning to write at a coffee shop made the writing feel more like a job. This is NOT a good thing. I had to

I’m again writing this from a coffeeshop. Have been going since Tuesday. Have learned a lot. I knew this before, but had forgotten, that one of the reasons why it’s sometimes so effective for me to go and write at a coffeeshop is because it forces me to focus. The right coffeeshop has the perfect
