any english major or english enthusiasts knows the mention of spring in a piece of writing means a rebirth. today happens to mark the first day of spring or, the first day of rebirth. right now, i am certain of one thing: i am unhappy. okay, i am certain of a few things. i am [...]

well, i am thinking a few things. i’m thinking spicy veggie nachos should be eaten every day. i’m thinking steam burns hurt. really, really badly. i’m thinking about how amazing and beautiful this book i finished today is. i’m feeling more things than i am thinking, though. i’m feeling accomplished for being binge free for [...]

i’m not working out today. it’s raining outside. jillian michaels couldn’t motivate my ass if she tried. my yoga mat feels farther away than it actually is. and my bed has me held captive since waking up over an hour ago. don’t try and rescue me. i can handle myself honestly though, i’m not working [...]

the other day, gena, of choosing raw, wrote a post in which she quotes a friend of hers bemoaning the fact that he could mess up something as “simple” as being healthy. “mess up” essentially refers to anything that might sabotage your road to a healthier life style. supposedly, we all know eating a family [...]

it’s been an emotional week. particularly this weekend. but today…welll… toady i ate a whole bag of baby carrots. today i think i sped up my turning orange process. today i drank a double soy latte because you know what? i really like coffee, damn it. today i climbed for three hours. and beasted through [...]

last night i did something very uncharacteristically me. last night i climbed out of my comfort zone. last night i ignored all signs of ‘NO’ and went for it. last night i had fun. like, i-may-have-woken-up-still-drunk-fun. (no, i didn’t get plastered. remember, i know my limits! but i definitely tipped onto the tipsy side ) [...]
