08 September 2020

Long weekends are never quite the holiday for me that they are for everyone else.
Between family things (cooking, cleaning, keeping everyone entertained) and work things, (customer service, blending, bottling, packaging), my "long" weekends often end up very long indeed.

The Husband made an amazing WFPB meatloaf for dinner and we had leftovers + salads + fruit for most of the weekend.
And, I found a local place that makes vegan donuts. That's going to be an issue.

I'm down another inch in my waist. And another 1-2 inches everywhere else.

I won't be running this week because of the smoke. I've lived in places with hurricanes, tidal waves, tornadoes, and, earthquakes. Nothing freaks me out anywhere near as much as the fires here do.

In total defiance of the over 100-degree temps. I'm drinking a maple caramel latte and pretending that it's Autumn.

I hope your weekends were wonderful and that today is inspired.

"If you aren't working towards success, you're working on failing." and, "If you aren't willing to put in the work maybe you don't want it as badly as you think you do."
My voice professor in college used to say those two things so often that they became a permanent and ingrained part of my thought process and psyche.

Back then, what I wanted was to sing the Queen of the Night aria for my finals. These days, I want to run a marathon, surf, and to feel good in my skin again.

I've made a lot of stupid excuses for the last month as far as staying on plan and tracking my calories. It's like, now that I'm 15lbs away from my overall goal, I have this idea that I can take a step back and not be as strict with myself.

That isn't even close to true.

And the truth is, "taking those steps back" is what got me unhealthy to begin with.

So onward and forward.

I hope all you losers are doing well.

(Losers as in weight loss. Not a moral or value judgment.)

Product photography, writing copy, editing, orders, packaging, announcements. Rinse. Repeat.

We are moving into my busiest time of year and this year, I am adding an anniversary collection to the usual Autumn / Halloween lineup.

So much work.

Historically, this is the time of year that I go off the rails. I usually justify it with, "I'm so busy!" "I'm too tired to work out/ cook/ eat like a normal person."
I realized last month that all of that is valid. But it's still not healthy.
So I'm working on balance this year.

I'm holding steady at 132.2.

I spent a lot of time at this weight once upon a time and I think it's a weight that my body is familiar with and comfortable with.

Thank goodness August is almost out with it's tyrannical and unrelenting reign of heat and misery.

I've missed a lot on here and hope you guys are doing well.
