I know I went dark around here, and for that I am sorry. I used to think that being an open book was the key to being held accountable. However, when it came down to making this particular life changing decision, I had to dig deep down inside of myself and only listen to the […]

The Marathon

This journey is a marathon, and not a race…right? So in this path to wellness, I have been learning some interesting things about myself. For instance, I used to think that I excel in a competitive environment, especially if that competition was a long shot. So I signed up for my first DietBet and committed […]

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and I for one LOVE this holiday, but not in the traditional way. While I truly adore my husband and our annual dinner and gift exchange, I use this holiday to show some love to the single most important person in my life….ME. I started the tradition of purchasing something […]

The Ghost of Binges Past

Today I wrote about binge eating over at Fitspiration, and I think I had just a little bit more about my own story to work out. Although it is very therapeutic to talk about stuff like this, eating disorders are often misunderstood and carry with them an incredible amount of stigma. I hope by exposing […]

Empty Promises

In January I made a promise. It was a promise to my friends (both online and in real life), to my family, and most of all to myself. I promised to take the brevity of my sister’s time on earth, and learn from it. I promised to make the most of the time that I […]

So…What?

At nearly 35 years old, I found my first four-leaf clover So, apparently I really like to use the word “so” and “apparently.” There has no relevance to what I want to write today, but every time I start a post I have to backspace away the “So” at the top of my page. SO, […]

I don’t feel like writing. I know that I have to, and I know it will make me feel better. I don’t know what to write about this week. So welcome to my stream of consciousness, as if that isn’t the norm. A really good friend said something to me tonight that cut through me, […]

Mamavation Monday–Campaign 11-Week 4
tishamarie Depression, grief, Mamavation Monday, Self Care, Weight 10 Comments
This week has been an emotional one, and I have pulled back quite a bit from my social obligations. I am not sure why I tend to get quiet when I am feeling really raw, but I have to honor that feeling anyway. Fortunately, the people I choose to align myself with allow me that […]

Mamavation Monday–Campaign 11- Week 3
tishamarie Mamavation Monday, Mercy, Self Care, Weight 7 Comments
Week 1 was about reformulating my plan after finding out that I wasn’t selected to be a Mamavation Mom and that there was not going to be a MILI campaign. Week 2 was about getting my feet under me and implementing that plan. So, naturally, Week 3 is about hitting my stride. As this week […]

Five Years and Then Some MORE

I sat down to write a post triggered by the photos that were popping up in my news feed from the first BlissDom I went to five years ago and the impact it had and still has on my everyday life. That was when I noticed that my last blog post was called Five Years […]
