Went to go visit my Endocrinologist today after work, mainly because I was getting the “We won’t refill your insulin unless you come see us” message. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been, but it wasn’t great. Among other things, my a1c (a test that measures average blood glucose levels for the previous 3-4 months) went up by a whole number, rather than a few decimal points. (From what I understand, it measures sugar attached to hemoglobin, since hemoglobin recycles itself every 3…
Time to revise a few options

My Unconventional New Years Resolutions
Comments Off
For most of the past decade I’ve been very devoted to the idea of ‘new years’, setting goals and making grandiose plans for how I’m going to ‘fix’ my life before the end of the cycle. There’s the official New Year, of course, and then there is my birthday, that’s always a good time for a reboot, and there is Pagan New Year at Samhain,…
The year that will be
Comments Off
I just updated my master goal list for the new year. I’m starting this year more positive about completing my goals than I have in many years. I think that’s mostly due to the fact that I was successful last year, though not always in the ways I had hoped or planned when I started out. Success is often fluid, as I discovered, and where you…
2012 – The Year That Was
Comments Off
Here in the final hours of 2012, I’d like to take a look back on what I accomplished in this year. Health and Weight – I didn’t lose the 100 pounds I set out to lose, but I did lose 12 pounds. I gained and lost the same five pounds over the Summer, and that didn’t help any. I have since busted through that plateau,…
2013 begins soon.

So, since I don’t think I’m going to hit a 36 waist in 5 hours, let’s review what the goals were and how I succeeded and failed at ‘em… Physical My goal for physical wellness is to get back down to a 36 waist by Dec 31, 2012. That’s 2 down from where I am now. I’m not as worried about weight, since I don’t…
Together, We’re Better – 2013 and Beyond
1 comment
While at first it seems like this post is mostly geared towards my fellow contributors to this blog, it is also geared towards those of you that read and comment here too. As part of my year end review, I’ve been thinking a lot about this blog and what we set out to do and what we should be doing moving forward. I may ramble…
Goodbye 2012…Hello 2013
1 comment
At the beginning of 2012, Jesse and I were talking online and commiserating about how little we’d accomplished in the previous year. We rather hastily conceived a project where a group of us that knew each other in real life could share our goal lists and help motivate each other. In theory, it’s a great idea but in practice many of us got too busy,…
We’re approaching our goal date….

I haven’t had much to post of late (and to be honest, working Black Thursday/Friday broke all of my goals and 7 Hebraic commandments), I know we started this with the idea of tracking goals for a year starting Jan 1st 2012. As next month is December, I’m curious as to how everyone else is doing at the moment
Forgiving the dead.

Normally, when I write a forgiveness post, it has to do with something current reminding me of something past. Not sure Halloween qualifies, but today we’re going to forgive people who no longer are here physically, and I’m sick of being haunted by their collective dumb asses. I’ll start with an easy one. One of the guys I benefits with in Missouri died this year…
A Measured Success
Comments Off
Forgive me, internet, as it has been over three months since my last update. I promise that I will do better going forward. So when I started this project, I had broken down my big weight loss goal into four smaller chunks. At my last check in, Summer Solstice, I hadn’t quite reached where I had wanted to be. At Autumnal Equinox, I wasn’t at…
On new beginnings and other things

Normally, I’d post what promises to be a wanky angsty post on LJ under the tag “self-indulgent whining”. However, since it ties in with other things, you all get to suffer. Today, it started sinking in that my last day in the freezer is Wednesday. Two and a half years later, I go from being the Frozen Fairy (or Iced Queen) to being the Candy…
