Some Good Things
7 comments on Some Good ThingsRiot Nrrd explains why judging other people’s health can be inaccurate. Despite turning my ankle a couple times Monday (and working too much and walking too little these past weeks) I didn’t have problems walking over a mile at the Sounders game Tuesday night :) My new CPAP mask arrived! Somehow I’d broken the widget that […]

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] The man of the house baked a chicken with some rosemary this evening. He accompanied it with broccoli with cheese sauce, green beans steamed with red potatoes, corn cooked with onions, cold sliced beets, and French bread. As we were eating he said, “So did I make the Thankful Thursday this […]

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Not too hot today, so the HVAC system at work going out for most of the day didn’t lead to sweltering…. Helped the man of the house move some equipment that I distinctly remember was really heavy … only it didn’t seem that heavy when I was carrying it tonight. (The […]

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Being reminded I live in a Futuristic Sci-Fi World. My desk at work is now closer to a window. Something about “getting some natural light” is nice. Being able to take some time during the day to stretch. Fresh strawberries… Celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary this week with the man of […]

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Tomorrow is Friday. Tomorrow is FRIDAY. Tomorrow is Friday. I showed my dad the “chair squats” exercise on Sunday and he mentioned it would be easier if I lost 50lbs … and I stayed calm and “Every time I’ve lost weight I’ve regained it all plus more. I decided to stop […]

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Ten-minute professional shoulder massage :) Running across this writeup on fat & feminist women’s health experiences from 1996. Yes, it can be frustrating to know how much hasn’t changed, but it’s also validating…and a bit of a walk down memory lane, at least for me. Gorgeous greenery outside. The “Summer-SAD” is […]

[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Surviving crunch mode so far. Hanging out with a friend tonight. Tomorrow is Friday. ;) I walked up the ramp to our seats at the stadium last weekend instead of taking the elevator. Vitty10 put 2 of my posts on her Fat Acceptance Greatest Hits ;)

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] I don’t exactly feel like being thankful, but maybe that’s a sign I should look for things to be thankful about. (It’s a Thing, partly to remind me of good things.) 1) New, comfy shoes. 2) Arroz camarones. 3) Making some progress in sorting my books…. 4) …and cleaning my […]

Much more busy, but less boring. 4) Bacon-wrapped […]

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] This Thursday I’m especially thankful for: Interesting conversations about OA, trusting medical practitioners, and fat acceptance. Figuring out how to update a friend’s website despite no prior experience in the content management system it’s setup with or the language the site is using. Exercising regularly isn’t hurting. I realize this may be […]

[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Things I am thankful for this week: Lesley of Fatshionista is in Newsweek, and it’s being read. Went to the Sounders game with the man of the house on Saturday, parked 1/2 mile from the stadium (cheaper parking) and had no problems with the walking. The game was fun, too! Survived […]
