Today was something of a disaster, a very horrible sort of disaster. It started last night with a general anxiety attack (dying alone, as a fat, awkward bum because I’m not smart enough to get into grad school and everyone around me is about a billion times smarter. Geneeral twenty-somethings angst, I guess). A truly [...]

One Week Smoke Free!!
7 days, 4 hours, 24 minutes and 49 seconds smoke free.
86 cigarettes not smoked.
$25.20 and 15 hours of your life saved.
Hooray! Unfortunately, I didn’t leap into eating well today. Didn’t have any food in the house! But, it’s all about the baby steps, anyway. I’m pretty pleased, though, overall. I haven’t [...]

Week 1 [14 August 2007]: Start to quit smoking. The first week is supposed to be the hardest. My Quit Day is “8/14/2007 3:00:00 PM” and I am logging my progress on QuitNet.com because I like logging things, obviously. Drink 64oz of water a day.

I found a thread on SparkPeople.com today about it being just 20 weeks until New Year’s! The whole idea was to have a whole new body and lease on life by the start of the New Year. I think it’s a lovely idea, really. The week’s challenge was to eat three servings of vegetables a [...]
Joyous News & A Resolution

I made this post on vegweb tonight:
Tonight after class, a friend and I headed out to a cafe we used to frequent a great deal during the regular school year but hadn’t been to in some time. Resigned to a bowl of vegetarian chili (though delicious vegetarian chili!) I still flicked over the menu. It [...]
Convenient

I’ve never been physically repulsed by animal products before–that never really factored in to my decision to pursue veganism. Lately, however, I’ve been developing one HELL of a lactose intolerance with cheese especially. I’ve been ordering all my coffee drinks with soy, lately, so perhaps that’s prevented me from noticing how bad it really has [...]
Stumbling
Posted in Uncategorized on 12 August 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Today was generally difficult. I’m exceptionally emotional right now (hello PMS!), insanely busy doing messy, gross work all day (stripping fifty years of paint off my kitchen cabinets. Eugh) and things are sort of falling apart around me.
I received a voicemail this morning from my best friend. A co-worker we had in common when [...]
A bit of bad news.

Those of you who are following this (…anybody…*taptaptap* Is this thing on?), will have noticed that I haven’t posted in a very, very long time. I’ve been without Internet, though I have it once more. I have also fallen entirely off the diet bandwagon. Big time.
I’m back above 180lbs. I hoped I’d never see [...]
