A special breakfast out at Cora’s to celebrate Chloe’s first day at camp. I think I am really going to love all of this time with Alexis. Such a different girl when her big sister isn’t around to terrorize her. Haha. (Taken with Instagram)

Realizing as I am starring into my fridge at all the super healthy clean eating options that I have for lunch that it makes me sad I can’t eat a burger. Actually sad and grumpy and miserable!. If I had the money I truly think I’d pay to have everything just lifted, tucked, sucked and filled. I know that sounds terrible because it really does feel amazing when you bust your ass for months and achieve your goal. But instant perfection wouldn’t be completely terrible either. Just sayin’. Especially when the event you wanted to be at your goal for in about 30 days away and you are about 20lbs away from being happy. Goal FAILED.

Now to eat my green soup and chase it with a coconut water all while I close my eyes and pretend it is a juicy bacon filled cheeseburger and coke :(

Is It Normal?

Wed, 30 May 2012 16:15:26 -0600

Over the last few months I have a had a few things happen to me that were life changing. These were not good things. Even though these things happened months ago I find myself still having nightmares, thinking about the events constantly, dwelling on them and just completely unable to let go. Is this normal? At what point should I just “get over it”?
