Bipolar. After a Really Bad Time in '08, the details of which I'll spare you unless you really want to hear them, I tried therapy for several months then my counselor saw me in a borderline hypomanic/manic state and pegged the diagnosis, finally. went to a fantastic psychiatrist and we worked for something like five years…

Wow. That's a bunch of Issues. What strikes me first, though, is that she needs you to change your behavior, body, etc. before she can commit to you, and can't forgive you for not telling her the complete truth about your health. Hm. What strikes me next is that you said you thought you should take a break for a month or…

Stop eating muffins. I hear it works pretty well, although I couldn't say from experience ;)

But the results would be faster with the Draino.

This is our second year with Girl Scouts, so we've had them in the house for weeks now. Honestly the selling and cookie booths and all that fun stuff has completely turned me off to the cookies themselves, at least until last saturday when i had to do a quality check on the shortbreads. if i get into the lemonades i'm…

The time clock. More like my nemesis than a pet peeve, really.

Moderation. Cashews, macadamia nuts, and pecans are some of the worst nut culprits for having a lot of fat in comparison to the protein. I sometimes make a snack from dark chocolate roasted almonds, a few dried cranberries (not too many; they've got a fair amount of sugar in them), and a handful of fiber one cereal. It's…

Robert Downey Jr. Hands down. No contest. John Cusack second.

Also struggling. I had a friend write in black sharpie on my hand last friday "DON'T GIVE UP." Friday was ok. Since then, not so much. Last week I tried actually speaking my inner conversations out loud - you know the ones with the angel and devil (figuratively speaking) and a couple in between? Yeah, that ended up in a…

It's the only way to be sure.

It all depends on the shape of your foot, what you want to do, and what surface you want to do it on. And budget, of course. Just starting at a gym, I'd say to hit a regular shoe store and try on everything, jump around in them, walk, jog, etc. Find one you like and try it for a few months, then see where you are. You'll…

That was my December. It took gaining ten pounds back, not fitting into my clothes, and a couple of concerned check-ins from friends here to bring me "back from the dark side" - which metaphor works a whole lot better for me than "on the wagon." Also, have you ever seen Apocalypse Now? There's a scene where the main…

Another sugar addict here. Two things that have REALLY helped me - your mileage may vary, of course. I try to wait until 3 PM to have ANY kind of sugar, including fruit. I have NO idea why that works for me, but it does. Second, I try to severely limit the amount of carbs in my evening meal - you know, like the piles of…

I got a standing workstation several months ago because sitting - even on an exercise ball chair - was really hurting, and I ended up having to go to PT for it. Still struggling, but at least I'm not ruining everything I do by sitting for eight hours a day. The workstation is insanely simple - I had my dad built it for me;…

oh and this pretty much word for word.

At the moment, it's because if I open my diary so that my friends can see it, I will lie about portion sizes and what I eat. I don't want them to think less of me. I don't want anyone to know how bad things really are. And right now I need ruthless, brutal, unflinching honesty, not WTGs. Accountability has to start with…

OK we can be done, but January's not far off and I expect you to perform, CW! BTW, whatcha workin' on?

12/21: 30 minutes, although I'm fairly certain I slept through the last five minutes of it, given the quality of the writing (or lack thereof). CW, you can still lose the consistency crown for December!

12/19: 30 12/20: 45 Today is my last day at the day job until January 3rd; I'm foaming at the mouth to see how much I can produce. And run, of course.

12/16: 30 12/17: 0 12/18: 30 Total for me for December is 350. CW, you win the challenge for the month. However, although I've lost the consistency award, I will still kick your *kitten* on minutes.

12/15: 30 minutes. I'm sensing a pattern here and I don't like it. Nossir, I don't like it at all. Going for 60 today.

I have bursitis right on the sit-bones due to "running through the pain" and sitting for 12 years. ick. the orthopedist sent me to PT and after six weeks of careful, gentle, regular stretching, rest from any sort of activity that would overly strain the hamstrings or blah blah blah, icing, ibuprofen and tylenol, getting a…

You're a freaking ROCK STAR! I love those NSVs!
