welcome to sillygolucky :) here, you’re allowed to run in the aisles, interrupt your parents while they’re on the phone, stare at the stars in wonder for hours and make fart noises in your armpit and snicker about it. teehee ;) (and i’ve yet to master that talent! sheesh!)
so welp, yep, this is where i’m just me. :) for (almost) everything you wanted to know, check out the “nice to meet ya!” section to the right. and fyi, for normal gabby finger topics, i’ll chitchat here…for most things health/fitness/food related, feel free to hop over to my health journal.

winter blues
happy monday :)
well today's kinda an "eh" day, if ya know what i mean! i donno why...i think being cooped up in the house all winter is playin with my mind *lol* this is the longest i've gone without working outside the home, and i'm still learning to be with me, myself, and i 24/7.
dont get me wrong--i wouldnt give up being able to work from home unless i really had to, i love it! having time to do what i want to do is awesome!! and i know one day when we have kids i'll be thankful i have housekeeping routines down pat and the like. but sometimes it gives me too much time to think and be whiny *hehehe!*
on the upside, my weigh-in this mornin showed...
more snow and other ramblings
hidey-ho!
dang, i cant believe it's friday again already. the last week has gone by fast! im super bummerinoed cause we were sposed to visit my fam in IN this weekend, and had to cancel cause of weather (buttloads of snow here--ice there!). this is the second weekend in a row we've canceled, and it's been since christmas since i've seen them. thank goodness for puters at least--i chat with my mom and sister quite a bit. that's fun!!! and we tend to do it fairly often, more often than we call each other. boy, times are a-changin, eh? ...
okay, bad news first--when i weighed in monday, i had GAINED 4.8lb since the previous monday! shyeah can you believe that! LOL after my awesome 3.4lb loss the week before!!
good news, tho...
the day after
hallllo!
and just how are you today??? pretty durned good here! hubby and i had a great valentine's day and he made reservations at a local steak house for our dinner. it was AWESOME!
we enjoyed crabcakes for an appetizer (im notta big seafood person at all, but these were HEAVVVV-ENNN!), then we both had salads and a petite filet (6oz) with potato and a few spears of asparagus for our entree. there was even a complimentary glass of red wine! YUMMY!
and of course, being valentine's day we had to have dessert! they had this cute...
burgers and fries and shakes--oh, my!
hey there!!!
drum roll please...[insert very cool drum roll here]...i lost a little over 3lb last week! so now i am down nearly 10lb since christmas. i feel great!! only about 12lb left to get to my 10% weight loss goal. i really feel like im on a roll!!
okay, so i dont think i've mentioned this, but for the last 2-3 weeks i have been eating a 40% fat, 40% carb, 20% protein diet. its pretty much like a real mediterranean diet--not south beach--and most of that 40% fat is coming from olive oil, nuts, flax seeds & oil, pumpkin/sunflower seeds, fish, fish oil, and a tad bit of canola oil. most days i get over 30g of fiber even! crazy, huh!
a lot of people might think that that low of a carb diet would make it hard to...
how do i love me?
good morning!
i just wanted to drop you a line, cause i JUST had an ah-ha! moment...a God Breeze...a revelation...whatever you wanna call it! see, i have two super awesome online buddies *waves atta shellers and trac!!* whom i met through sparkpeople (which, btw, is an amazing--and free--resource for getting healthy).
these two girls get me through so much! they listen to all my crap and always offer sound advice and encouragement. (plus, they both just crack me up with their awesome senses of humor!!!) we are all "weighed down" with the same struggles...and being brutally honest about our failures AND successes just feels darned good! ANYHOO...
shellers sent me an email a bit ago and is just having one of those days. you know, those days when there just arent enough fast food places to visit and cram your face full of every greasy, yummy food you can think of? heheh! one minute you want...
inside-out
hey happy monday!!!
well last nite i finished Body Clutter.
here's the main thing i learned--my perfectionism is holding me back.
in pretty much every area of my life! :-O
ya know, 10 years or so ago i always bragged about being a perfectionist. it made me feel good--perfectionism meant i was thorough, precise, on-the-ball, diligent, & a good delegator & leader. so wow, those things sound GREAT...right?
HA!!! what euphemisms in my life!
okayokay, i wont say those things arent excellent attributes in and of themselves, but so many of us are perfectionists in a way that...
