Weighed in at 160.6 lbs again today, which is fantastic since I ended up having two beers and a jello shot at the event last night. I didn’t exercise at all today, and also am pretty sure that I ate over my calorie quota, so tomorrow’s weigh in will probably not be great. Overall, it was a very healthy day, though – I didn’t eat any baked goods or crazy processed food, and definitely no fast food. I even went to the movies this afternoon to see World War Z (meh) and didn’t eat or drink anything, which is basically a miracle.

Tomorrow The Man is going to hang out with his parents for the day, and I’m thinking strongly about doing a Bikram double. We’ll see.

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!
