Shoes to Lose: February 2011
http://www.shoestolose.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Recipe for a Meltdown. Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Several months ago while dining at one of our favorite restaurants, Matt and I shared a dish that I still dream about. It was cheesy and buttery but not too heavy. It was flavorful and tender. It was ricotta gniocchi. We left assuming that it was a specialty item that we'd likely never get again until I stumbled upon a recipe for it at allrecipies.com. I got all my ingredients lined up. Mixed them into a soft beautiful dough. I'm so lucky to have a man...

Where I've Really Been. Monday, December 6, 2010. So, I told you I've been here:. I've also spent a lot of time here:. But that doesn't really explain why I haven't been here (as in, blogging like a good girl). The truth is, I've also been here:. And shopping for some of these:. Yep folks.that's right. We're going to be having one of these! Thursday, December 2, 2010. The third day we ported in Acapulco. The view from the bay was absolutely beautiful. The water was blue and the city was striking. While w...

Shoes to Lose: July 2012
http://www.shoestolose.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 25, 2012. That is usually the title of the first blog post you get when you start a new WordPress blog. I feel like it is appropriate for this post because I feel like this is [going to be] a whole new blog. While I'm still the same person with the same history, I'm completely different. Having a child has flipped my life on its head and I'm better for it, but different none the less. My motivation for being healthy has changed. My goals are different. My free time is VERY limited. 5 Top ...

Project Fiona: 13 reasons to look forward, not back
http://projectfiona.blogspot.com/2011/03/13-reasons-to-look-forward-not-back.html
From obesity to a heathy me in 26 seconds. A journey to improved health and well being. Thursday, 3 March 2011. 13 reasons to look forward, not back. The last few posts have all been about failure, losing control, making a mountain out of a molehill. So, I thought it time to give out a positive message. I have jogged 13 kilometres since Tuesday 22 February. 13 brilliant reasons to be proud. 13 reasons to look to the future, not the past. Regret is a waste of energy. I still walk my dog twice a day. It wa...

Project Fiona: When chocolate doesn't solve everything
http://projectfiona.blogspot.com/2011/03/when-chocolate-doesnt-solve-everything.html
From obesity to a heathy me in 26 seconds. A journey to improved health and well being. Wednesday, 2 March 2011. When chocolate doesn't solve everything. I am obese, I have self-destructive food routines, and I have decided that this needs to change. I need to nurture and nourish my body and soul. And the logical consequence of this epiphany? This cause and effect - I feel bad so I need a chocolate bar. Because the problem isn't chocolate. So, if I remove chocolate? So this whole "thing" is not about sho...

Project Fiona: 8 ways to nuture myself and nourish my friendships
http://projectfiona.blogspot.com/2011/03/8-ways-to-nuture-myself-and-nourish-my.html
From obesity to a heathy me in 26 seconds. A journey to improved health and well being. Friday, 4 March 2011. 8 ways to nuture myself and nourish my friendships. I had coffee with a friend after work yesterday. It was wonderful. She is a friend I love, but never see. One of my realisations is that I have no idea how to nourish or nurture my friendships. We talked about that. So I have no reference point for what normal adults do to be friends with another adult. C I have no idea how to form new friendshi...

Project Fiona: The beginning
http://projectfiona.blogspot.com/p/sugar.html
From obesity to a heathy me in 26 seconds. A journey to improved health and well being. I was having morning tea with friends, and I'd brought some home-made biscuits to share. Kelly declined the treat as she had decided to eliminate sugar from her diet after reading Sweet Poison. I was interested in Kelly's choice. She wasn't the first friend to tell me they had given up sugar - or more specifically - fructose. So Kelly lent me two Sweet Poison. Books - thank you Kelly! One of the Sweet Poison. It is on...

Project Fiona: The good space
http://projectfiona.blogspot.com/2011/03/good-space.html
From obesity to a heathy me in 26 seconds. A journey to improved health and well being. Thursday, 17 March 2011. I am in the good space. The one that can often preceed the descent into the pit. Everything seems to be going well. I am challenging myself, I am making good choices, and well, the goals I am trying to achieve may actually seem achievable - losing weight and exercising each day is a reality. And what happens next? So, what I am going to do this time, while I am in this good space? And here is ...

Project Fiona: Is exercise negotiable in your life? Part Two
http://projectfiona.blogspot.com/2011/03/is-exercise-negotiable-in-your-life_19.html
From obesity to a heathy me in 26 seconds. A journey to improved health and well being. Saturday, 19 March 2011. Is exercise negotiable in your life? For, me, exercise comes down to motivation - is there a convincing reason that gets me to exercise each day. When the reason is non-negotiable, then exercise will be part of my life. But what do I mean by negotiable exercise? I think it is exercise where YOU are the only person who experiences the consequences - negative or positive - of doing the exercise.
