Excellent Vacation is Excellent

Posted May 22, 2013

Sooooo much fun is being had here in the Sault; lots of visiting is being done, Kat is a huge hit (as if there was any doubt), the weather is ok (as in, at least it's not snowing), and there has been a LOT of good food eaten. Unfortunately Kat has be…

29 Forever!

Posted May 16, 2013

Or y'know, not. I'm not one of those people who's afraid of hitting 30. Today is my 29th birthday and as I look back on my 20s I realize that it was probably the best, and hopefully worst, decade so far. Forget my teens, the teens suck. 20 to 29 is w…

How Far?

Posted May 13, 2013

Last week's running mostly didn't happen except for the Sunday run though I did fit in two 5km walks; however, it didn't feel the same. So yesterday I didn't download and play my usual podcast (which would've been week six I believe) and instead lace…

Welcome to Taurus Season!

Posted May 10, 2013

There may not be words to express how much I love this time of year, the leap of seasons between the Spring equinox and Summer Solstice. It's where I live again, breathe deeply, walk and play joyfully, plant and nurture and grow and heal and bask in …

Fat and NOT Afraid

Posted May 6, 2013

Back when I was thinking of starting a fat acceptance blog I thought long and hard about what I was going to name it and eventually settled on what you see up there; Fat and Not Afraid. Fear is something we're all familiar with but something I chose …

You'll Get Fat Again

Posted May 3, 2013

It's been nearly a year since I've had a good night's sleep. The best I've been able to muster is about six hours, which does feel good, but it's not as great as nine. This time last year I was easing into 'really pregnant' territory, having trouble …

Couch to 5km Continued!

Posted May 1, 2013

Five minutes doesn't seem like a long time when you're sitting around chatting with a friend or surfing Facebook. It flies by when you're a kid and the parent says "Five more minutes!" at the playground. Then again, five minutes can crawl past as slo…

Quadruple Threat

Posted April 29, 2013

Last Monday I had my follow up appointment with my family doctor, Dr N, about my gallbladder and hopefully getting it removed soon. He explained that I might be looking at a several month wait, but I'm fine with that and it's what I was expecting. I …

Photo Friday: Ray of Sunshine Edition

Posted April 26, 2013

It's Friday so that means for many of you the weekend is just about here. For me it just means more of the same, but that's alright-I'll have to get back to a 'real job' soon enough. Incase your Friday isn't full of sun and happiness already, here, h…

Reversing the Camera, Highlighting Shame

Posted April 25, 2013

A friend pointed me in the direction of this amazing article by Haley Morris-Cafiero, a young woman who decided to do a very interesting and indepth social and artistic experiment on being fat in public.

"... to set up my camera in plain sight and …

Around the Table

Posted April 23, 2013

The peach coloured tablecloth is a perfect compliment to the warm tones of the wallpaper, paper that is scattered over with semigloss pears, peaches, apricots and apples. Shiny copper pots and pans are illuminated by a five-armed light which hovers j…

Runtastic Reply

Posted April 18, 2013

A couple of days ago I posted up how Runtastic sent me an email informing me about calories burned during recent runs. I posted up on their message boards that I didn't think it was a great idea, and that the info was not appreciated. Well, I got a r…

Simple Raspberry Coffee Cake

Posted April 16, 2013

Have I mentioned recently how much I HATE moving? Moving means packing, a lot of stress, then unpacking. After our move from the house to the apartment, and then from there to here, I didn't unpack a lot of things because we simply had no room. Howev…

Trigger warning for fat shame and calorie counting

Sunday was the beginning of week two of my couch to 5km program, running for a minute and a half followed by a two minute walk. It was great; the weather was perfect, the podcast was fun, I remember…

Kudos to Offbeat Bride!

Posted April 13, 2013

When I got married back in 2007 the internet was not such a big part of my life; I wasn't blogging, there was no Facebook (at least not for me) and I spent most of my time just browsing around at Gaiaonline. When planning my wedding I wish I'd known …

How To Fail at Running

Posted April 11, 2013

Today was the first day I was able to get out, with the new jogging stroller, since Monday. Tuesday was a rest day and Wednesday it poured rain sideways. Here are all the things I did wrong;

  1. Ate a crappy breakfast. All I had was a cup of coffee a…

Goldfish Brain meets Gallbladder

Posted April 8, 2013

On Saturday afternoon I packed up the kids and took the double-decker bus to downtown Victoria just for something to do. We went to the Bay Centre and wandered around for a while; Gabe picked up a new Skylanders Giants toy and then we went up to the …

Diets, Dying and Do-Overs

Trigger warning for hospital visit!

When faced with what we think is our hourglass running out, a lot of thoughts can run through our heads-at least, I know what runs through mine. I worry about the people I'm going to leave behind, I wonder if I di…

Sunday Runday

Posted March 24, 2013

Yesterday was my promised me-time; an hour's run from here to the lagoon and back. It was a bit chilly but by the time I was not even halfway through I'd tied my sweater around my waist and didn't even notice the breeze anymore. The beach was deserte…
