Finally ready to work the 12 steps after 14 months in ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics). I’m going to participate in my first step study meeting after our regular meeting tonight.

Bonus late night #transformationtuesday for you.
Came across that picture on the left in my Timehop today. I remember how big I felt that day melting in the Alabama heat and how I squeezed my arm to my side to cover my love handles and hips. Now I much prefer the skinny arm pose!
Holy sh*t I did it! Tonight I finished tagging the last of all 3,139 posts on my blog! I literally started this at the end of June and worked at it little by little. I created QUITE A FEW categories to tag. Over time I recognized the themes within the subcategories are: weight loss, fitness, love, music, goals, self care (physical), self care (mental/emotional), and changes.
.
These categories are the chapters of my story, I need to shape and polish what I have but between my Measuring Life blog that I’ve had since 2010+ the 4 other smaller blogs I had from 2006-2010 + all my paper journals = my book/play/musical.

My website is the next undertaking, which I want to have a soft launch on November 18 which is the 11th anniversary of my fathers death.

Thank you all for your support!
My sexy felt metatarsal pads to help relieve a vascular issue with one of my toes. The podiatrist scheduled me for an MRI ? next month to get a closer look at things.
I’ve had essentially a purple bottom of my toe for 15 years and have had previous podiatrists look at it, but only recently has it been causing me some sporadic pain.
Lesson: it’s always important to speak up and try to stay on top of any nagging issues.
Great hike with my class in an urban environment today! Embassy row to Dupont Circle!
Post #bodypump seated shiatsu massage. My friends has these two massagers at their place and we tried them out a few weeks ago. I used a $100 amazon gift card I had to buy them both. Best decision ever. I’ve been using the seated massage cushion for like 30 min a day on heated shiatsu massage, its such a treat.
Summer 2006 ➡️ Summer 2018
I was going to do a face to face Friday, but I couldn’t resist a whole side shot once I put these two next to one another.
I’ll take age 35 over age 23 any day! I was so clueless when it came to nutrition, health, exercise, etc. I’ve made it a point to learn about these areas and also share what I’ve learned with others!
My new kicks FINALLY arrived. Who knew it would take an act of Congress for my running store @runpacers to track down a pair of @hokaoneone Arahi 2 in women’s 11. I literally told the store send me any color I don’t care – which is the usual case especially when stores only generally have 1 pair of women’s 11s. This color combo isn’t bad although I’m not really a purple person.

I already feel better and more in control this week now that I’m eating back on my @weightwatchers plan and tracking with a goal of 5 blue dot days a week. I have been very successful with these tools and I can’t let blips (AKA LIFE) throw me off course.
I’m happy that my latest summer plateau has at least kept me hovering in the high 170s, but I’m eager to see the low 170s like I did briefly in July.

Lunch break: walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes in this dreary weather.
