INCONCEIVABLY BLONDE....

That Barenaked Ladies song has been going thru my addled mind, "One Week," the catchy one that ALL of us scrambled to memorize its quirky lyrics to catch up with the fun little tune....You know the one, suuuuuurrre ya do.  I've been reflecting that it's been just a little over a week since I began the battle to get my life, my health, and my sanity back.  I have been diligently keeping to entering in all the stuff I'm doing--water, food, exercise (or, in my case, somewhat-lack-thereof-but-improving-this-week), into the MyFitnessPal.com app, and I'm even trying to be good about posting at least a weekly entry on the blog portion.  You can read it by clicking on the link here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/HavaTwizzz/view/settling-in-126842 As I mention in that entry, I'm just settling in.  For the long haul.  I've really been doing a lot of thinking--scary, I know, because now my hair's growing out all crazy and I can almost start twirling ...

OK, it's been a rough 3 months since Mom passed, and I've been struggling with demons of time-robbing work, stress and frustration and grief, combined with a gradual weight re-gain that somewhat muffled my creative voice.  In the past three months I've started (yet not ever finished) about 6 poems, cried buckets of tears, and haven't accomplished a single goal I've set for myself this year--so I'm TAKING BACK ME. Big shout-out to my longtime pal Pammers for reaching out and clueing me into a free app called MyFitnessPal.com.  I joined a few days ago, trying to refocus, redirect, and reclaim my ME again and get those physical, mental, and creative juices flowin again.  YAY!  So far, I've only lost 7 lbs, but they have a blog aspect in their application that I'm beginning to use.  The weight gain is not the only matter here, it's the principle of regaining control and not giving into negativity.  Three months is LONG ENOUGH.  I know some parts of me...
