Alcohol
This is more of a share than anything else, as an admitting fact to others that may also be dealing with this. Prior to moving to Austin, I barely drank. But, after moving here, living directly next to a gas station that sells beer & wine, I begin drinking. This has been around 7 years of this. To the point of me not…

Happy w/my Breakfast. :)
I rarely feel the urge to gloat about my meal choices - but upon reflection, I'm very happy with my go-to breakfast as of late. A co-worker has a nutritionist friend that recommended a daily meal plan for her. I was lucky to be able to take a peak and took what made sense to me. Now, every morning, I start with an under…

Water weight: A rant.
There were times where I was happy I gain water weight so easily. Mainly, when I caught myself a few lbs heavier, cut back and went back to my maintenance weight.

Somehow, I'm 15lbs heavier than my highest weight.
All was well. I lost a lot of weight back in 2007. I was at my thinnest, but not as healthy. I move to a new city in 2008. Over several *years*, I gain 40lbs. I catch myself, I get to my 'median' weight of 140-150. Not ideal, but healthy. January of this year. After a few months of being in a serious, live-in relationship,…
