Fear of Success is NOT the Same as Fear of Failure…But Fear is Still the Point

DAY 2 (FAILURE AND FEAR OF SUCCESS): Weigh-in. You might be thinking that a disappointing weigh-in led to giving up on sugar detox, but my problem is the opposite. A few years ago my weight was 262 pounds. I added cardio and changed nothing else about my lifestyle, eating or fitness. In about two and … More Fear of Success is NOT the Same as Fear of Failure…But Fear is Still the Point

Who Fails on Day 2 !?!?!?

Me. Apparently. me. I know what triggered the collapse after only a day and a half of no sugar, and while it was a brutally emotional week last week, it’s not all bad. Let me tell you how it went…

Starting Over. Sugar Detox Day 1: NO Excuses

I forgot. Dangit. I woke up this morning with an email from the Sugar Detox people welcoming me to Day 1 and I dropped several F*bombs before I remembered about slap bet resolution, which resulted in a few more F*bombs for forgetting that, too. 

The Real Housewives of Washington County (Illumination Weekly Photo Challenge)

You’ll also never see this in Country Living Magazine. Have a great weekend, friends! Love, Marla P.S. yesterday’s fitness: cardio warmup then weights with Trainer. I guess I don’t need to tell you what I did for today’s fitness, and I am not going to explain what happened to my pants. http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/lights/  

21 Days Without Sex!!?!?!?!?!?

Sugar! I meant sugar! Darnit, how could I ever confuse sex with sugar? Sheesh! Oh, right. Because aside from the obvious sugar-sex metaphor (if it’s not obvious, bless your heart!) in my mind, sugar is the culinary equivalent of sex. It’s like if (*pornstar) Bree Olson were my lover and I’m suddenly asked to kick … More 21 Days Without Sex!!?!?!?!?!?

The Grumpy Peace Sign of the Little Girl in Red Boots

I’m working on a few deadlines this week, so I’m probably going to be brief with my posts. But hopefully I can give you enough to think about in a photo. One of the things I’m writing about (offline) today is my travel writing tour of Việt Nam, and in particular, about this little girl. … More The Grumpy Peace Sign of the Little Girl in Red Boots

Choosing the End Game: Muzzleloader Shoot

Kurt and I finally picked the 20th game (although not necessarily last) in the 2012 Druzgal Olympics: a Muzzleloader Shoot.

Screw Your C-

. I can’t move my legs this morning, but I’m still hopping mad. Okay, not so much mad as disappointed. I used one of these recipe calculator sites and it counted my ingredient, raw honey, as a C-. I’ve been trying several recipe counters, and honey always comes up as a negative item. Overall, the … More Screw Your C-

Meeting Clara and Ringing in 2013 with a ‘stache and ‘jama Party

I got slapped 24 times yesterday. This F*bomb resolution is tough! It’s taking a bit longer to go through all the December posts to make sure each of your entries get into this RZA drawing, so I need one more day to make sure I include you all properly! In the meantime, I thought I’d … More Meeting Clara and Ringing in 2013 with a ‘stache and ‘jama Party

Doing the “Right Thing”… Which “Right” is Right? (Today’s REAL post)

Dangit WordPress! I did not want to re-publish my Hoardzilla posts! I changed the status from private to public and hit “update” so I could link them here and this stupid, idiotic site re-published them and blasted them at my subscribers. I’m very sorry folks. I hate when people post more than once a day, … More Doing the “Right Thing”… Which “Right” is Right? (Today’s REAL post)
