You never regret a workout after you did it (yeah right)
So I hear that sometimes online. The truth is, you sometimes do regret a workout. Maybe you are really uncomfortably sore. Maybe you hurt yourself. Maybe you were just too emotionally exhausted after a crazy day to enjoy it.
I almost had one of those workouts. It ended up being enjoyable after it was done, but jeeze rough workout. We have been doing a much better job waking the dogs regularly.…

New Ink, New Mindset
New Ink, New Mindset
People who know me well know that I don’t have great self esteem. I find myself apologizing when strangers hit me with their shopping cart or when drivers cut me off on the road. This translates into my work and heath and personal life as well. I find myself really having to work hard to have the confidence to self promote and network. I tend to eat junky food or way too much food when I have a…

My new Etsy Shop
My new Etsy Shop
I’ve been knitting and crocheting for a few years now, and I’ve finally started an Etsy shop. I’ve posted several items for purchase, and would love it if my followers would check out what I have. I’ve posted some new items, and I have a special coupon for friends and family! Enter “friendsofmaddy” for 10% off, good until December 16. Support small businesses this year for Christmas gifts! …

One step forward and two steps back
One step forward and two steps back
Every few months, I end up writing a new blog post and then forgetting to update it. I’ve been working for the past month on improving my fitness and eating habits, so I waited till it had been a little while to update this time, so I didn’t feel like I was going to make a big “I’m back” announcement and then fade away again. I feel like I’ve spent the better part of a year backsliding on my…

Long walks make you think
Long walks make you think
This week, I visited my parents in Georgia with my husband. My sister and her husband also joined. It was fantastic seeing everyone, and we had a great time together. I’m so thankful that my family can get together like that from time to time. One thing that I’ve noticed when I spend time with my parents is just how inactive I am on a general basis. They walk to nearby restaurants, take…

November 1
November feels good so far! Only one day in, but it’s nice to feel on track already. Goal check in: Exercise 600 minutes this month-30 minutes so far! Well, I actually used a floor bike thingy for 30 minutes and did about an hour and a half of moving furniture and packing up boxes of stuff for goodwill, but I’m just counting 30. Don’t weigh myself so compulsively-weighed in this morning. I may…

I'm back!!
I’m back!!
I feel like I’ve been away from this blog for ages. I have been so busy with work, school, life, it’s been hard to make time to write. But I miss it!! I love writing, and I think that keeping this blog is a cathartic way for me to focus myself and not keep everything in my mind stopped up. I am still working on losing weight, but I’m thrilled with how my other goals have been going. I’m doing…

Weekly challenge 6/14-6/20
This week, we’re going back to the basics by putting things away instead of down. Does that packaging belong in the trash and not on the coffee table? Throw it away. Should that spoon go in the dishwasher (or should you just wash it)? Do that instead of leaving it on the counter. Taking off your shoes at the end of the day? Put them back where they belong instead of leaving them where they fall.
Don’t put it down, put it away.
Words I need to live by
Quiet weekends are so nice
This weekend, I just wasn’t feeling any of it. It was a busy week at work, and Orange is the New Black was released on Netflix. Therefore, my big goal was to not have anything on my to do list. I knocked out the basics like laundry and grocery shopping, but mostly just relaxed, watched Netflix, and hung out with my pup. I had a lot of time to think about life and things going on in my day to…

Weekend updates!!
This weekend has been good so far! My last post, I said I was planning to do a few specific things. Game night–Check! We played one of our new games last night. We didn’t do sushi with it, but instead we had awesome burrito bowls (more on that later) Beef Jerky–Check! Made it yesterday, super tasty Housewarming party–Check! Went over and spent the afternoon. Hung out with coworkers, talked, at…

Road to recovery!
Well, I had a weirdo day yesterday..I’ll copy what I posted on facebook, because it’s easier than typing it all out again. Tiresome day!! I had a small accident at work. I hit my head very hard on the drive through at work. After staying dizzy and nauseous for a long while, I made the decision to get checked out by a doctor. After exams and eventually a cat scan, I’m pleased to say that I have no…

Success puts a smile on my face
As I lose weight, I always start to think of all of the amazing outfits I want to wear. I start gaining a new self confidence. I’m starting to feel this again! I am now officially down 20 pounds since April 1, and 1.4 pounds away from my initial huge weight loss 3 years ago. That means that within the next 2 weeks or so, I’ll be back completely on track, and hitting new numbers on the scales…

Being an adult is hard
Juggling all aspects of “adulthood” seems impossible at times. There are so many different facets of what we have to do once we are out on our own. One of my friends recently moved out on her own into an apartment and it made me think about all that we have to do on a regular basis, as well as what you really have to master to avoid issues down the road. Disclaimer–I sometimes have days that I…

April 18, 2015
This has been a good month so far! I have been working super hard on tracking my food each day. I’ve noticed that I’ve had more energy at work, and I’m pleased with the results so far.
I gave myself a simple sounding, but surprisingly hard goal for April. I decided that in April, I would not eat any fast food. It should be an easy goal, but I had been giving in to easy/cheap/satisfying for a…

I am tired of winter! I would have been more open to it if it came in January, but in March, I expect short sleeves and flowers blossoming.
I personally appreciate the theories I see online blaming all of the 5 year old girls in America, continually singing songs from Frozen for our most recent ice storm.
Things have been good here! I’ve been making good progress eating at home the majority of…

It’s a snow day today. Luckily, I was already off work for President’s Day, but the whole city is quiet. I have only seen 1 truck drive by the whole morning that I’ve been up, and I’ve seen photos that the police department have posted showing empty roads. Arkansas is funny. It’s snowy, it’s certainly icy outside, but it’s only about 1-2 inches on the ground. Barely enough for a sledding…

Good morning everyone,
I am ready to come back and spend time writing. In January, between the death of my Grandpa and being sick for almost 2 weeks from the side effects of medicine I was taking, I didn’t have the energy for anything extra on my plate. Work has had some stressful days, I’m taking classes 2 nights a week in addition to an online course. All of that on top of trying to take…
