Daily Confessional 12.31.08: Out with the old and in with the new

Parting is such sweet sorrow. This morning I wrote my last ever post for Elastic Waist.  That was a lot harder than  I imagined.  I am so grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of something that I truly believe in.  Starting tomorrow the writing I would have done for EW will be [...]

Daily Confessional 12.30.08: Getting it together

Last nights dinner was bigger than I anticipated.  I didn’t eat my yuca fries though, so that’s a plus.  I still have half a steak in my fridge calling my name.  I may eat that but not the accompanying sides for lunch.  First things first though, I’m going to Trader Joes to stock up on [...]

Daily Confessional 12.29.08: Back to Blog

I got up this morning and did something I haven’t done in what seems like forever…I ran.  It was a little rough, but I got through it.  My muscles feel like they’ve completely atrophied so instead of doing strength training at the gym today, I’m going to do a yoga DVD tonight to ease my [...]

hold that thought

Blogging from my parents home in the burbs has proven to be slightly harder than anticipated.  I’ll be taking the next few days off.  I should return to the real world this weekend and will be back up and running (literally, I could use a good long run right about now) Monday, December 29th.
Best wishes [...]

Daily Confessional 12.23.08: Happy Birthday to MEEEE!

I got up at 5:30am today, that’s just silly for a birthday girl.  There was still some holiday cleaning to get done, as I spent much of yesterday baking and made more of a mess than I cleaned.   Things are better now, and I even did productive things like file for unemployment. Sigh.
Thanks for your [...]

Daily Confessional 12.22.08: Last Day of 25

I’m out on Long Island visiting the fam, helping clean up for the holiday and baking presents for the masses.  My attempt last night to make raspberry filled sugar cookies didn’t work out so well, so I’ll have my second attempt today.
Lara, I definitely do feel the pressure to eat more this time of year.  [...]

Daily Confessional 12.20.08: Faux Birthday

I never thought I’d say this, but, I’m totally sick of eating.  Seriously.  I’ve been eating for what seems like weeks, and not eating in the I need nourishment to keep me alive sort of way, in the today is a celebration sort of way.  I guess that’s the problem with this time of year, [...]

Daily Confessional 12.19.08: Blubbering Mess

Today is my last day of work.  Regardless of the insanity that as happened in the last month it’s a truly sad day for me as I have really loved working here (most of the time) and met some absolutely wonderful people.  I’m generally able to keep my emotions in check, but there’s something about [...]

Daily Confessional 12.18.08: Ho-ho-holiday party

Today is my office holiday party. I’ll update you all on the goodies later. One of my coworkers has requested we get drunk afterward. There really are some people I’m going to miss here. My plan it to go to spin class after work, we’ll see if I’m sober enough.
Lara: I [...]

Daily Confessional 12.17.08: Keep on keepin' on

Hmmm, my interview yesterday seemed like a one night stand, wham, bam, thank you ma’am.  I got the impression that they already found someone they liked before meeting with me and was just going through the motions with the rest of their interviews.  It happens, I just wish they had cancelled instead of wasting my [...]
