It’s never easy talking about emotional eating. And yet so many of us deal with this on a daily basis. It’s like the big old elephant in the middle of the room. Binging, hiding food, purging, and even starvation are all a part of emotional eating. Choosing calorie laden foods that […] Today is Pride Day here in Halifax. I’m not used to it being so late in the year. Usually my pride celebrations (while they are everyday as I am as “out” as you can be) officially happen the last weekend of June in correlation to the Stonewall Riots of 1969. The […] I’ve been back to counting calories now for just about a month now and it’s been going pretty good. (and a little bit of the mental frustration I remember) When I decided to go back to counting calories I did so understanding that this was a tool that worked […] This week is my one year anniversary.

Not in that bible-thumping, get right with Jesus or burn in hell for all eternity kind of way but rather a damn he knows how to weave his words in such a way that you don’t have to go to church or be […] Week one of going back to the basics is done. I diligently logged all my food. I tracked all my work outs. I consciously decided whether to eat a snack based on a) hunger b) boredom c) had extra calories left over d) all of the above. It was a little […] I have a lot of things rolling around in my head as of late and can’t quite come up with one definitive blog post. I have sat down a few times and thought “okay I’d like to talk about (insert idea here) but then it just never came to fruition because I have […] The Martin/Dowe household is down for the count. Physically speaking. Both of us are on the “injured” list. Meegan’s injuries are of course much more substantial (Girl + crosswalk + driver of big truck not paying attention = Big Owie) but this week I managed to throw my back […] |
