Ramblings

Weighed myself this morning. Am a couple of pounds over my goal weight. However, my period is also going to arrive at any time now. I’ve been having symptoms and massive hormone fluctuations the last couple of days. And I’m pretty swollen. So I’m not going to do anything about my weight, not this week. […]

Spent time traveling this week, as well as seeing people. Ended up completely exhausted yesterday. I kept checking in on myself, making sure that it was actually exhaustion and not something to do with my thyroid. Nope. Just had done too much. As my husband will attest, I don’t do well with limitations. Particularly physical

And so it begins… Welcome to my next grand experiment! Over the next 42 days, I will be serializing Circle of Air, an urban fantasy novel, the first of The Witch’s Progress series. I will be posting between 1000-2000 words every other day or so. So there will be short posts from me here, mentioning that

As you may or may not recall, I’ve started trying to make my own kvass and kombucha. First batch of kvass was not a success. I added too much ginger. It was bitter and not good. Second batch has turned out much better. I did a lot of things differently. First of all, I made

Yesterday, I was in the middle of making a smoothie for lunch when suddenly my heart started pounding in my chest. What the hell? Of course, I was worried that I was having a heart attack. But no. It was just my stupid hormones that decided to flood my body with adrenaline. There was no

Figured I should do a post on some of the goings on at the house. First off, some kombucha and some kvass! Plus some of the last of the fruit that we’ve harvested. It’s been a good year. The kvass didn’t taste too good in the end. I figure I added too much ginger. Am

As I said before, I have been having a lot of thinky thoughts on this topic recently. The Patreon work has been particularly illuminating. We all have voices in our heads that tear us down. One of the loudest voices in my head tells me that I’m lazy. For example, the reason why I’m highly

I’m not going to be doing the day of reckoning posts since my weight is (mostly) under control. I will sometimes do an accountability post. I only weigh myself once a week, on Monday mornings. This morning, after having reached my goal weight last Monday, I gained weight. Of course. I did not actually keep

I’ve had a Patreon account for a few years now. I’ve never actually done much of anything with it. I’ve launched it a couple of times. The first time it was focused on coffee and doing bean roasting reports. However, right about that time I stopped being able to drink coffee, so there wasn’t going

Lost more than one pound again this week. In fact, between the last week and this week, I’m now at my goal weight. YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! I didn’t do anything differently the past two weeks. In fact, I was prepared this morning for no weight loss at all, as there were days when
