Posted on July 9, 2020 by meredithelaine

  So it’s been a hot second since I’ve posted. 6 months plus?  Sheesh! I’m currently at about 50 pounds down.  COVID and the quarantining thereof have been a bitch to deal with.  For a while, the gyms were closed, … Continue reading →

Progress, not perfection…?

Posted on January 31, 2020 by meredithelaine

Well, here I am, about 3 months post-op.  38 pounds down.  Which is…good.  But not great.  I’ll admit, I’m frustrated.  I have a feeling I know why I’m not losing as fast as I’d like.  And that’s because I’m a … Continue reading →

I am exactly one week out from my surgery.  I am both excited and scared.  I’ve never had surgery before. I’ve started my low carb, low fat, high protein pre-op diet.  Good times.  On the day before surgery, I can … Continue reading →

I gotta believe that you’re there when I sing

Posted on October 19, 2019 by meredithelaine

Weird-ass video aside, I’m in love with this song.  Another strong showing from Jimmy Eat World.  This song is on repeat. I’m sitting on the couch, half-high on muscle relaxers.  My neck is still bothering me.  A week later, and … Continue reading →

Our little group has always been, and always will be, until the end

Posted on October 13, 2019 by meredithelaine

I have spent much of the day listening to/watching Tori Amos videos on YouTube.  It’s good background music for whatever else I’m doing.  Which is mainly pinning stuff on Pinterest, and Facebook scrolling.  I’m spending more and more time alone.  … Continue reading →
