Falling Off The Wagon
Boys, you will want to turn away and read something else! In fact, some girls may feel the same way. This post will undoubtably have too much information in it that nobody but me needs to know...however, in the past, with my eating, I tended to brush over the days I didn't do so well.…
Closing My Rings
I was incredibly blessed for my last birthday by the gift of an Apple Watch. I never understood the hype around Apple until I started using their products and, oh my goodness, I'm a complete convert! One aspect of my watch is that it has an 'activity' feature. This tracks not only my daily steps…

Being Transformed
I am aware that most of the readers of this blog have followed me from angelicscalliwags and already know about my lifetime struggles with my weight. I have, after all, vomited most of my feelings out in multiple posts over the years. It's a funny thing, weight. Often an outward expression of something that is…
