:: Free 2 Be :: the Odyssey ::

After an 11 hour trip which took 4.5 days, I arrived back in North Carolina only to fly out to Missouri 12 hours later. Stayed 5 days and got back Tuesday. I’ve also just celebrated 27 years in AA. WooHoo! =)
So - I’m back! And, I have a new home! My family’s 19 year old 31 [...]

I did wait a little late to start breakfast yesterday, which was eggs and broccoli. Today was earlier, but a *quickie* 2 egg sandwich, no veggies, but at least breakfast with protein within two hours [...]

Very happy to be focusing on *something* the right direction. =)
The main problem with eating breakfast so late was that turned into brunch or lunch and that pushed all my mealtimes back until I was eating pretty late at night. [...]

Cocoa, FL.
Have been pretty tied up with things here, nothing much else happening. Trying to remember to get on and post something so the blog will still be here… I know I’ ve put back on some weight (too many late night snacks) but still wearing the same clothes.
Hope all is well with you, my [...]

Okay, so just finished my 40-day assignment a few minutes (hour?) ago, and, now I’m wired so checking in. It was GREAT! Ok, better than that.
In the meantime, I haven’t been on a scale for the better part of two months but I know now why some ministers put on weight. People feed you - [...]

Thanks to all of you for your encouraging comments! I’m just here to make sure my blog doesn’t disappear. The assignment is going well (thanks!). We will be halfway through this weekend. It is long days but great. Very much looking forward to another life change in July and see where I have ended up.
I [...]

Hello Faithful Readers, your kind support is so encouraging!
My diet is taking a break while I complete a couple of assignments. This next one will be ending July 10 (I believe) so I may not be back until then. In the meantime, have fun and don’t forget me. =) I’ll be back for part two [...]

First, I had trouble doing all my dog walking and workouts. Then, I ran a lot while walking the dog one day and found out I was supposed to *run* a 5k for my workout the next day. It was really important to me to get a good time (for a change! lol) but I [...]

Getupnow has set up a great little Christmas Challenge over on The Last Straw. Perfect for me. I highly recommend it… See you Monday! =)

Today is a great opportunity to get back to posting. Happy Thanksgiving!
Yes, I’m in Colorado, Colorado Springs in fact, and enjoying it. I enjoy the West as my family came out of the West so it is always a treat to be back here. I also love my son’s family, with whom I’m staying for [...]

1 good thing I did about food: Hmm. Had a nice 7.5 ounce can of salmon with avocado and tomato.
1 good thing I did about exercise: still to come. Will post later.

1 Good food thing: ate three meals AND resisted the french fry urge when it came. =)
1 Good exercise thing: did a small workout even though it was midnight-thirty and had to be designed not to wake the house mate! LOL
