Why is it so damn difficult to take good pictures? I have been trying to get some good ones because I have put together some good outfits this week and it just isn't working. I need some serious help, here.
In any case, head on over to Blissful Style and check out her awesome giveaway. A mini laptop that looks like a designer clutch? I DIE. http://blissfullydomestic.com/blissful-style/giveaway-hp-mini-vivienne-tam-edition-from-intel/

Ok, the polyvore thing seemed like a good idea at the time but in practice it's a pain in the a**. So maybe I'll take headless photos. We'll see. I had on an adorable outfit yesterday involving a new silk scarf-as-belt and gold carved bangle from my sister, undergradfab.blogspot.com and it is not recorded. :( Oh well, just have to wear it again!!

Sharp-Dressed Doc
I've really been getting into the daily-wear blogs lately, and the fact that my fabulous sister is behind Undergrad Fab certainly doesn't hurt my interest. She, my other wonderful sister and my mom all got me some fantastic accessories for my birthday this year that I am just dying to play with to start mixing up my wardrobe a bit. And I really would like to get some feedback on all of these things, it's just....
I get sort of a weird feeling about posting photos of myself everyday all across the interwebs. At least on facebook, I can control who sees what and when. But, keeping in good mind that I have patients and future employers who do use the internet, I think it's more prudent to post in the style of polyvore. So I'm going to try that for awhile and see how it goes. I'm not always going to promise that this will be a "daily" wear thing, either...lord knows I'm lucky if I remember to do everything I have to do, let alone extraneous things. But I want to try it and see how it goes. I'm open for any thoughts and opinions!

Damn, it's been awhile
I always say that. I also always seem to abandon this again. Oh well.
Today I was going through a ton of pictures that I didn't even know we had, from about the past 4 years or so. I scrutinized myself, as I always do. But I had a different eye this time. I loved how I looked in most of the pictures...I could rarely EVER say that at the time. Then, over the past 2 years or so (really since I started putting on weight during my recovery), I noticed that I dropped out of those pictures. I know how awful I felt as I felt my body changing seemingly without my control. I seem more comfortable in my own skin now, but seeing those pictures made me realize how cute I was. (am)*.
When Nick's dad and my grandma died, they each had huge poster boards with pictures of them with all their family and friends. It made me realize that I want to be able to have that kind of record of our lives and the wonderful times and people we've known. So, I resolved to get over my photo-phobia and start taking and being in more pictures.
I really missed the body I had when I was looking through those. I don't want to say it's "inspired" me to lose this weight, as I think I have been, slowly over the past year or so. But I do have allll those cute clothes, and I was really pretty then. (and now). So. We shall see where this goes. IN any case, since getting Harley (oh yeah, we got a dog!) I've been out walking almost every day, and averaging around 2 miles. So that's something. I'd really love to get back to running on a regular basis. I was just starting to get to the point where I really WANTED to run, and for whatever reason, I stopped. I felt really good then, too.
I also realized how much I miss having all my good friends close by. I also really miss having peopel over on a regular basis. I loved doing that when we were in Milwaukee...after a night out at a bar, or concert or restaurant, people always seemed to gravitate back to our place to hang out, and a lot of those pictures were taken during those times. I miss that. I love our house now, and I love Nick and Harley, but we're home by ourselves a lot. I feel like I'll get shot down inviting people over from the department, because most of the residents have kids now, but it wouldn't hurt. It doesn't have to be the same as it was in Milwaukee, but I really enjoyed that and want to maybe make it part of our lives here, too.
*The voice reminding me that I'm still pretty, even though I don't always feel it.

FLOG
As per The Rotund, I am thinking of keeping a list of what I've been eating - no quantitative portions, no calories, etc....maybe feelings associated with the foods. Just because I'm curious, and I think it's no longer going to be triggering for me. If it is, I'll stop. But it's been so prevalent in my mind lately, and hopefully writing it down will get it out of there!!
And so, today:
2 whole grain oatmeal packets
3 mini chocolate chip cookies
1/2 turket sandwich on wheat
1 bag potato chips
1 small brownie
1 oatmeal raisin cookie
handful tortilla chips
southwest chicken breast
jalapeno cheese mashed potatoes (YUM)
4 thin mints
Very much wanting sweets lately, and I'm not sure why. I'm ok with it for now, but am sort of curious to see what I'll do and how I'll feel without them. For whatever reason, I'm just not wanting fruits, vegetables, salads, etc. lately. I'm trying to be ok with that. We'll see.
