It was only about two months ago that I wrote about how the stress of my time in Florida trying to shepherd my mom through her health journey was impacting my body. In short, it only took about four months of binge eating and inactivity to add 20 pounds to my frame while completely deconditioningContinue reading “The Body Issues”

The Unbearable Weight of…Weight
A little less than a year ago, I wrote a post about my goal to transform my sad, flabby formless form into a taut and toned beach bod.

For the most part, those goals have beenContinue reading “How Nice is Too Nice?”

It’s amazing how the past two years have been simultaneously the longest and shortest years I’ve ever experienced. How it can possibly be almost December I have no idea, but there’s a part of me that refuses toContinue reading “Eating Your Feeling”
