March Fatness Days 23 & 24

Day 23 - Thursday

Motivation: I look like a sausage. I wore one of my pants that I thought could stretch out a little and it was A HORRIBLE MISTAKE.

Ate: Coconut latte, PB&J, saltines, 1 can of coke, 30oz of tea, 8oz water, tofu veg sandwich


Moved: 40 minutes of "extreme" yoga, which I call extreme because my balance was HORRIBLE and I was just falling over constantly and nearly hitting my head on things. I don't know what was up.

Felt: flabby!

Etc: I'm honestly wondering if the ONLY way to lose weight is to give up all carbs and fat forever and run 20 miles a day. I hate my body.

Day 24 - Friday

Motivation: Wait, am I losing weight?

Ate: Indian food! Mmmmm (channa pindi, dal tudka, pakoras, roti), can of coke, 30oz tea, 24oz of water, chickpea pancakes and maple syrup, popcorn and soda at the movies, mini-corn dogs! Fridays are always a mess for me because I tend to eat as if it's two whole days, just from how much I end up being awake.


Moved: I almost didn't! I "took a nap" at noon and didn't wake up until 8:30. I ended up just doing my default 10 minute quickie work-out to knock something out.

Felt: not as fat as yesterday somehow?

Etc: I weighed myself and i'm 174lbs for the second time this week. If this sticks through April 1, then I will have actually lost 5lbs this month! Which is nuts because a week ago I was up to 181 and convinced I suck at life.

Motivational Quotes are Bullshit

Image
We’ve all seen those quotes tossed around on Facebook or Tumblr or Twitter, those insufferable images made up of some vague and blurry, sepia background image with elegant text over the top.

“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.”“Get it, girl!”“She believed the could, so she did!”“You are beautiful.”“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.”“Stay positive!”“Be the girl who’s in love with her own life!”
Don’t they just make you want to vomit? They’re so clearly aimed at other people, people who have a chance at all the things you don’t. Girls who can wear a messy up-do and sweat pants to Starbucks and still get flirted with by the barista. Women who go to bars with friends and end up getting most of their drinks free from admirers. Boys who get, ‘Do you like me?’ notes slipped to them in class. Men who have the luxury of complaining about all the messages they get on OKCupid and how over half of them are from women they’re “just not that into.”

Meanwhile, you…

OUT TODAY: Gut Feeling (An Empathy in the PPNW short)

Image
It's October and I'm celebrating by giving you all a free short! Gwen and Mel are thrown together again, so naturally they bicker and then everything goes to hell.



Gut Feeling Despite how things went last time Gwen helped Mel on a case, she gives into the bribe he offers and agrees to let him drag her through miles of gravestones and gobs of mud on a freezing, stormy night. It's not for nothing, at least: Mel's been hired by a rich couple to locate their stubborn kid and drag him home, even if he kicks and screams the whole way. Mel's a werewolf, after all; he can handle a steel-toe to the gut if it comes to that. It's only after Gwen's fingers are numb and her patience is strained that she realizes Mel may not be the only dangerous creature out there among the tombstones. A cemetery, a necromancer, and the promise of a boatload of cupcakes: Gwen Arthur's about to have a very interesting Halloween.

Cold Feet update + Birthday trip pictures

Image
Well, I obviously didn't make the May 1st deadline for Cold Feet's release. I've instead decided on the 10th (psst, you can pre-order the kindle here!), just so it's still available before I have my author event. I've finished all the edits and now I'm just waiting for the files to be approved and all that.

Other than that, my life's been mostly taken up by hobbling around awkwardly. My birthday was the 20th of April so I took my friend to Germany with me and had a lot of fun right up until I fell down some stairs and sprained my ankle.

Ugh.

It's been two weeks and it still hurts! My foot is still slightly swollen! I still have to hobble and work's been miserable, since part of my job is walking around a lot delivering stuff. Booo.

Other than that, though, Germany was pretty nice. Berlin was your typical big, dirty city, but it had some really amazing history. Munich was lovely, even though two of the four days we were there ended up being holidays …
