Accidental lunch date!
I’m currently sitting next to the Happily Unmarried Club. Six women wearing either 1. velour sweatsuits or 2. sequined cardigans.
So much griping about ex-husbands. So much gossiping about reality TV.
Such is the life of a 55-year-old divorcee.

The latest haps. Tuesday is still my marathon exercise day. Tomorrow I have to work in 8 miles, some way, some way. That’s a long run on a work day!
Also, I am freaking the eff out about how I’m going to run while in Colorado.
13 miles on a treadmill, or 13 miles with capris, no gloves/hat in 30 degrees?
Which one sounds more hellish? Not so sure.

Run: 15 miles...
So much butter
Paula Deen is literally the last thing I want to watch while on the treadmill.

Thankful.
I’m thankful for legs that carry me for 15 miles. For my supportive husband. For a family that always raises my spirits. For my new family that loves me as their own. For my best friends in Baltimore who overcome thousands of miles. For my best friend in Phoenix who keeps me sane. For the opportunities in life that I’ve had and those I will have in the future.

Kilduff family pictures today...
Consequently, it’s been a psychotic 24 hours.
Dark colors. No prints. Casual.
What the eff am I supposed to wear?
I don’t have any blue jeans. A skirt would be too fancy.
Looks like I’ll be wearing either army green or stone blue/grey skinny pants. But my “dark” shirts don’t match those colors. Or they’re striped.
I’m so stoked that...

My back is sore. So sore.

So good.
I couldn’t love my family more. Thanksgiving is generally my least favorite holiday, but today was really nice. I think I’m growing up, ha.
I’m rounding out the night with Dexter, jumping rope, nail painting and scouring the ads.
A day well done.
P.S. - 300/500 push ups done. And I don’t even want to die.

Tomorrow
Lots of pie, lots of push ups.
My goal: 500.
Is that even possible for my spindly upper body?
We’ll see!

I’m on a roll with the good days.
Today I…
Exercised well.
Finished Catching Fire.
Ate clean protein pancakes for the third day in a row.
Wrote 3 entries for my cover story (currently at 32/51).
Ran on the treadmill and watched Biggest Loser/Cupcake Wars (ha).
Ate frozen yogurt.
Can’t go wrong with good books, good food, good exercise and good productivity.
Tuesday,...

Effing teenagers.
Student 1: What the hell are you wearing?
Mrs. Kilduff: Excuse me?
Student 2: That's almost as bad as Steven asking Mrs. K how many weeks she was...
Mrs. Kilduff: Sometimes I hate you guys.

Decompressed
I had a really fantastic weekend.
A couple good workouts. More than halfway (27/51 entries) done on my cover story. New clothes from my generous mom. Started Catching Fire!
After riding last week’s roller coaster, I am incredibly appreciative of a positive, productive and relaxing weekend.
This week: 2 days off from school. Only 3 tutoring appointments (as opposed to my normal 9)....

I skipped my workout this morning...
And promptly had a nightmare.
Apparently my guilt sent a murderer to my house. Rude.
That’ll teach me to sleep in until 6!

“You’ve been working hard at these, haven’t you?”
Yesterday, I was doing some leg lifts at training when Brandon said this. In the past few weeks, I’ve gained a lot of my strength back and I am so, so happy. My upper body still has a long way to go, but it’s really encouraging to see and feel progress.
I’m getting closer and closer to finding my pull...
Anonymous asked: oops... i'm a doofus. you da best, celeste.
Anonymous asked: that was pretty crappy that you said being a b cup was a symptom of your low estrogen. i weigh twenty more pounds than you and i'm an a cup, and my hormones are just fine. i'd be psyched to have a b cup, especially having as little body fat as you do.

My imbalanced life as of late.
I have an estrogen deficiency.
I’ve suspected that something was wrong with my hormones for a few years now. After a recent family PCOS diagnosis, I flipped out. I was about 99.99 percent certain I had it too.
But I don’t. I’ve been experiencing symptoms of a hormone imbalance . And now I’m on an estrogen medication for menopausal women.
I’m 24.
I’m also...
