So, I had a tough week
and I had to make a very hard decision that I really believe is going to be for the best but was still stressful to make. I didn’t sleep or eat well at all this week and have just generally been a little bit of a mess. But there was a bright side.
I have to say that I have never really experienced this part of a relationship- where I have been falling apart a little and needed my to partner...

Sunday Dinner
I am always looking for subtle alterations to my go-to dinner: lean meat (usually chicken or steak), a whole grain starch (usually brown rice, quinoa, or couscous), and a green vegetable (usually steamed broccoli or a salad.) Ryan and I generally know what works for us and we don’t mix it up too much. But sometimes it gets a little boring.
Tonight I decided to liven things up a bit. We...

TW for weight/ED discussion
So, today at the gym I hurry into the locker room and start to get changed. There is a lady there with me who is maybe in her early 40s. I assume this is her first time at this gym, because she nervously asks me a few questions about the lockers. We have a nice conversation about the weather and the small town we live in, and then I emerge from one of the curtained dressing rooms in my workout...

Anyone want to challenge me?

Iced Oatmeal Applesauce Cookies
Pretty darn delicious for a chocolate-less cookie.
We’re going to Ryan’s parents’ house for dinner, and his mom doesn’t like chocolate very much and his stepfather is on a diet. So. I had to get creative!
Also, here’s a pro tip: if you are making these cookies almost exclusively in an effort to use up the old jar of applesauce in your fridge, check to make sure...

Sometimes Facebook makes me feel bad.
Can someone please tell me that not everyone I went to high school with has a better, cooler, or more fun life than I do? Please?
