I made this graphic after writing this week’s blog @givencontext. In the blog I recap a recent visit to #nwa by @angiethomas author of #thehateugive and #onthecomeup and how she inspired me into action.

This is how many days I’ve been on @brightlineeating and living the #brightlife by taking care of myself. Sticking to my program has been rough lately. But I didn’t come this far to only come this far. (Photo by me last week at Mount Magazine.)

This is how many days I’ve been alive. I think this is a beautiful image. #brightlife #givencontext #adventure2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/BvjQ_c_Hp16/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xrw6slc2iheg

One of the most supportive environments I’ve ever experienced is my @brightlineeating tribe. The experience has really driven home the importance of being a woman who supports other women. It has also helped me be willing to accept love and support more easily. None of us has to do any of this alone. #supporteachother #love #sisterhood

Guess what I’m doing today... The Squid and I are going through the museum backwards. We never get to spend enough time in the last section. (at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art)

Someone in @brightlineeating #BrightLifers posted this in a comment and I love it. I am absorbing this today as I go in for another round of steroid injections. It’s very frustrating that I’ve lost 100 lbs and I’m still in constant pain. But I didn’t come this far to only come this far. My insurance deductible for the year is met. We are going to fix this!

Today’s morning drive was yet another Slayer (Seasons in the Abyss) - Metallica sandwich with Anthrax (Be All End All) filling.

The thing that sucks about heavy metal is... a 30 minute drive home only gets you 3 songs: Slayer- Expendable Youth, Mastodon- Ember City, & Metallica- And Justice for All. I’m going to have to work in some 57 second punk songs.

I am currently trying to tear through Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. I realized a few books in that I feel a sense of obligation towards this series. I used to read a lot of SK and had only read the first book. He is a master, so I feel a sense of duty as a book lover. I’m curious if anyone has had similar experiences.

I shouldn’t admit how often I think about this song. Awesome rock songs of the 80’s playlist... thanks for the reminder that it’s only Monday and it’s not just me but EVERYBODY is Working for the Weekend. At least we can commiserate.

[trinasum1]

I need this reminder in a lot of areas today. #happymonday

I just realized I forgot to post on the first of the month. I must say I’m impressed with myself for keeping up with this for so long. #BrightLineEating is my lifestyle. It’s not a diet. It’s not for everyone who needs it, but it’s for everyone who wants it. Sometime next year I’ll transition to maintenance and there won’t be any more pounds to lose. That will be an interesting shift in my identity. I’m going to stay tuned in and see what happens next. @brightlineeating #myBLEjourney

I was trying to look at this CATalog. #kittensofinstagram #darncat
