I have been getting this question a lot lately, I will write a post about it soon.

The one thing that I would like my readers to take away from my blog is to honor themselves. Stay authentic and don't let others get in the way of the choices you want to make for your life. I led my life for years allowing others to determine my happiness. Whether it was what I ate to what I did on the weekend, I thought that I had to do those things to keep everyone around me happy. In the past year or so, I have taken back my voice, stood up for myself and have been happier for it. I have also learned to just express my feelings and share my "junk" and to take care of myself. Some people may view that as selfish but I think that is the highest form of self care.
Only you can make you happy. Go out and do what YOU want to do. -
During the week, I work full time plus overtime from time to time, work through lunch most days and have about a 50 minute commute each way. So, during the week is pretty hectic. Here is what a typical week day may look like:
5 am: wake up and exercise + practice yoga(trying to get back into this habit)
6 am: check email, blog comments, if I have time, read a blog or two
6:30ish am: shower
6:40am: panic about what to wear :D, dress, blow dry hair, put on mascara (I have an easy beauty regime
7:00am: go make and pack lunch
7:15am: make breakfast
7:30am: eat breakfast, load blog photos
7:45am: out the door. I really should be out the door by 7:35 but it rarely happens
8:30am: arrive on property at work, technically on time :D
8:40am: say the obligatory hellos and finally arrive to my office.
My day at work really varies from day to day. Because of the nature of the business (golf), sometimes I am swamped and other times I am not. Some days, my job allows for plenty of free time (reading/writing blogs) and other times, I hardly have time to breathe. So if I go a ton of time without commenting on your blog, don't worry, I'm still reading :D.
5pm: Leave my office, say the obligatory goodbyes
5:10pm arrive at my car and head home
6pm arrive home
6:15ish: make dinner
6:45 or 7pm: eat dinner and blog, read blogs, twitter, all that jazz
8 pm: settle in for the evening, watch tv, read, sip tea, snack if needed, fall asleep watching Dr. Oz from the DVR
9pm: go to bed and do it all over the next day. -
Lovely Question, Kat. Stayed tuned to my blog; I think this is an awesome post topic in the making.

Great Question! Up until a few years ago, I have had a pretty hard knock life. My childhood was nothing less than hard, my young adulthood was filled with mistakes and poor decisions. I've been around the block...all of them but I don't think I have any regrets. I do wish that I had been more responsible with money and really learned the value of a dollar at a younger age. Otherwise, I think my life has fallen into place just the way it is supposed to. I have learned so much from my mistakes and made every effort to rise above all of the bad things that have happened to me and all of the bad choices I have made and I don't think that is anything to regret at all.

I am a talker, for sure but I am also a good listener.

I do work in a place with a chef and a sous chef. I work for an upscale golf club that specializes in man food :D We are offered free lunch everyday though most days, I no longer eat it. Most days, we are talking chicken fingers and french fries. They will make salads for the three ladies, myself included, that work there but with my gluten sensitivities, I don't usually risk it. Once, the chef cut a piece of chicken on the same cutting board he uses for bread and told me a little wouldn't hurt. After that, I don't really think it is worth it and bring my own lunch.

Boy, do I wish I had asked someone that question when I was your age.
I'll be the first to admit that at your age, I wasn't very wise and I didn't really have my head on my shoulders. Thankfully, I learned from my mistakes and can say that I made the best of what I was given.
My best advice would be to stay true to yourself. Try not to get caught up in what others think about you and your choices. Letting others control my actions got me into a lot of trouble with myself. I've learned that honoring myself is the only way to real, genuine happiness.
And when you make mistakes, because we all do, just learn from them and let it go. -
I find this to be a curious line of questioning but I'll play along.
I drive a Toyota Prius.
My husband and I do not want to have children.
I live in a charming little house in the Suburbs, it is white with black shudders and a red door. On the inside, my decorating style is eclectic with bright colors, loads of vintage and antiques and shabby chic charm. But, I am the first to admit to being a clutter bug. :/
My kitchen is small and honestly, if we could afford to remodel it right now, I would be all over it. We do however get lots of compliments on our red cabinets and on how I have decorated it. I don't like the counter tops, which are tile and I would really like some more counter space. -
The short answer is no. Blogging has allowed me to express myself and reading blogs has allowed me a sneak peak into how others express themselves.
As far as my attitude, sometimes my attitude is positive and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes I have my eye on the prize and sometimes I don't. But, that is what recovery from an eating disorder is, it is a journey of ups, downs, highs and lows. Heck, for that matter, that is life. It isn't all rainbows and butterflies.
And if we are getting down to it, I think that each blogger decides what they want to share with the world and some choose to only share the good. I choose to share it all and I hope that in and of itself is inspiring. -
I think that blogging in general gives me balance and I don't feel obligated or tied to any one style. First and foremost, I write my blog to aid in my recovery and share my passions so I just do what feels right at the time.
I plan to write a post on this topic so stay tuned! -
I'm not listening to music today.
