Aw shucks!

You guys!



You've all been so darn nice after the last post. Surriusly. So. Darn. Nice. It's a lovely reminder that I'm on a good path, and that there are awesome people in the world. :)

So really, this is just a fluffy post thanking you for accepting me with big, fat, open arms and giving me a sloppy wet hug. It really does mean a lot to me. From the friends I've known for years, to my family, to complete strangers in this weird family on the Interwebs, thank you.

I started this blog basically as an accountability tool for me as I go through this weight loss/muscle building journey, but I never expected it to become what it has… I've hit over 11,000 views in 2.5 months (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), I've made new friends, and received some amazingly encouraging support from unexpected sources.

SO. Thanks friends. I appreciate it a million times over.

Need some love and support? I'm happy to help ya out. ;)

That I can't be trusted alone with it. That I grab a bigger-than-small bowl and PILE it up, lamenting the few rogue pieces that make it to the floor. Another colleague overheard us and said she used to do that with angel food cake. She would sit it on the passenger side and just drive, picking at the fluffy confection. I know a girl who could knock out an entire family size container of Sara Lee pound cake. So friends, those are a few confessions. Using the powers of anonym...

Frustrations & Fertility

The Bearded Wonder and I got married on a sunny Saturday afternoon in September 2013. Barring a few minor hiccups, the day was pretty perfect. Per the (unfortunate) societal norms, people started asking questions like "So, next comes baby, right?" or "When are you guys going to start popping out kids?".  Between me, you, and the Internet, I was a virgin when I got married so I was in ZERO rush to start having kids. I wanted to enjoy being married for awhile, hopefully travel, and just settle in to living with this person I'd never lived with before.  It's funny to me now, looking back on those first few years. The Bearded Wonder had some job transitions which led to some tight finances. We got by (not without help), but I was in a constant state of fear that I'd get pregnant. We were just floating with the 2 of us, but adding a baby in the mix? Yikes. Definitely not the right time. I remember calling my best friend in a panic, "I'm crav...
