Distracted
It's finally Friday and I am so so so distracted. It has been an incredibly busy week, the news is constantly on my mind (close friends and family are over in Israel) and flying home for Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Time is moving so quickly and while it's exciting to progress in my …
WIAW – On a Totally Full Tuesday
Most days at work are incredibly busy, but this week has been especially full of things to do. In order to be properly fueled for the day I have been turning to eggs for breakfast, complete with chicken sausage. This meal kept me full all morning, which was great because I was running around …
Pats on the Back
It's 7am and the sun is up and driving to work is somewhat pleasant when I don't have to drag myself out of the apartment in the dark. But then it's 5:30pm and the daylight is gone and I am tired, with no motivation to exercise. I have to tell myself over and over that …
A Meal of Oats
After an emotional Tuesday, Wednesday was much better. I went to PT and worked out with my trainer. It's not an easy workout even though many of the movements are quite simple and small.

Things I never thought I would do
Yesterday I found myself doing several things I never thought I would ever do... 1. Attend a sales meeting reviewing a 2013 toy product line that includes items I helped create. 2. Use a stationary bike for the 4th day in a row. 3. Drive around Dallas, TX. (Me as Chauffeur) Life is surprising - you …
Reflection
As many of you know it has been a rough past few months for me. My life has been turned upside down and many normalcies of everyday life that I used to depend on have slipped out from beneath my feet. I am slowly but surely gaining new sturdy ground to stand on and feeling …
WIAW – Food for Thought
My meals yesterday were fairly standard but I did enjoy this new find of mine - lentil chips.And while last night's dinner went without a picture, Monday's eggs were delicious and happened to find their way in front of a camera. Today I am doing the opposite of What I Ate Wednesday and fasting for the …
