Right now, I’m an Army wife in limbo. My husband is deployed from a unit that is stationed overseas, so we’re not in a traditional Army situation. And to be honest, I miss it. I miss FRG meetings, shopping at the commissary, and going on post to eat dinner with Mac while he was on duty. I crave monthly coffee groups, the smell of the PX (you know it, too),… View Post »
Why I blog about weight loss
If y’all haven’t noticed, I tend to blog about my weight loss journey around once a week. I try to be open and honest here about this part of my life (even if I’m not overly specific. I’m not quite to sharing my numerical weight yet). Part of my motivation is accountability for myself. It helps me to talk about what I’m doing, what’s working, what’s not. It also… View Post »

Left – original… View Post »

Influenster Vox Box: the $50 razor
Have any of y’all ever not shaved your legs before going out in order to keep your self behaved? That plan once backfired for Robin Scherbatsky. Yes, I’m referencing a TV character. She didn’t want to take things too quickly with her date, so she didn’t shave. The date turned out to be a stud heart surgeon, so Robin tries to bribe her waitress with $50 to run to Duane Brown… View Post »
