Resolving to Dissolve

I wrote a blog post yesterday on my other blog, Compass & Quill, about my New Year’s Resolutions, or at least the start of putting together a comprehensive list of some sort. The only reason I’m noting this is that I did not resolve to lose weight. I’ve already done that, and though I’m not really following through as well as I’d hoped, I’m still working at it. Making yet another resolution would in some way be admitting my guilt at not achieving my goal yet. I’m not going to admit defeat. However, I will restate one of my resolutions from earlier in the year, which was to blog a lot more. I’ve been doing pretty well on the other site, but not so well here. I’m hoping to make up for that in the coming year by joining Post A Day 2012 with Twenty by Thirty, and also being more firm about what I post here. For instance, I started out with a set plan to chronicle my weight, measurements, and diet choices.

So here goes today’s entry:

Today’s Weight: 160.0 lbs (ack!)

Today’s Measurements: meh, I’ll do it tomorrow.

Today I Have Eaten: Nothing. I’m not hungry, which is most likely directly linked to eating just about everything in the fridge yesterday. I know it’s not healthy to not eat, though, so getting ready to put together a bowl of yogurt and blueberries for lunch.

Today’s Exercise: Nothing whatsoever, unless you count moving from the bed to the couch as a subtle form of exercise.

Wow. OK. Maybe my resolution should be to stop being such a sloth.

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!
