57 Days

Today’s Weight: ?

Today’s Health: My hips hurt, my back hurts, my neck skin feels saggy, and my stomach feels bigger than normal

Today’s Plan of Attack: Well…

I was supposed to get up at 5:15, go to yoga, come home, go to work, do a dance workout at lunch, go back to work, then go running in the afternoon.  Instead, I woke up exhausted when my alarm went off, went back to sleep, went to work, am just now taking my lunch break at 2:40, and will soon be going back to work until 5:30.  At that point, hopefully I can get enough picture hanging done with my boyfriend to feel not so guilty about leaving for yoga at 6.  If he makes me feel guilty, I’ll put off yoga for another day, and try this entire thing again tomorrow.

I’m so sorry I’ve been letting you guys down.  I’ve really been letting me down, too, especially where pain management is concerned.  My back and hips hurt constantly, whether I’m sitting, standing, or trying to sleep.  I desperately need a massage, but in the mean time I know that exercise will help so much.  It’s just a matter of making the time to do that.

And there are only 57 days to go now until my birthday, with less than a month between now and the wedding I’m supposed to go to in early October.  I really don’t want to be fat for that stupid wedding, even if I don’t know anyone else that’s going besides Dan.  I’m supposed to be meeting a lot of his old friends, and I want to be stunning.

Argh.  It sucks to suck so much.  This has got to be turned around immediately.  It’s hurting my quality of life.

Hello,

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
