I find journaling laborious. There’s no fun in it. Yes, it sucks! With that being said, writing stuff down is the best way to keep track of it. A budget. A gratitude journal. A prayer journal.

My last weight loss journey; lunch time
I used to walk on my lunch break. It’s no fun walking by yourself. Now that the weather is getting cooler, I might start back. Maybe go to the dog park? I’d be burning gas to get there. Plus, how sad would Cheekie be if I went to the dog park without him? I couldContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; lunch time”
My last weight loss journey; maybe
I was a large baby. If memories serves me correctly, I weighed 10 pounds at birth. Pictures of me show a normal child up until I hit puberty. I’ve never been a normal weight since. The lowest I’ve been in my adult life, I could wear a size 12 jeans. My heaviest, I wore aContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; maybe”
