False advertising alert! Laughter is good but I’m not sure if you can actually laugh weight off, although laughter might help you avoid overeating. I mean it is hard to chew and laugh at the same time. Now in all seriousness, thank you for your support and sharing your own stories with me last month. It can be incredibly disheartening when good health always seems out of reach and the fault lies with you. Knowing others are working through this journey makes me feel braver and not so alone. I hope it does the same for you.

June Bookshelf: Can You Feel the Love?
Not only is Simba gonna roar again in a few weeks, I finally felt some real book love last month. And not grading on a curve love, because I’m desperate to love a book, but real love–Jody Watley style. Points if you know who Jody Watley is. And boo to you if you’re too dang young to know and think I’m an old coot now. Oh, spoiler alert: I am an old coot. I saw the original, animated Lion King when I was in high school and own the movie on VHS.

Happy 4th of July
Sorry I haven’t been around. Yes, I know blogging twice a week was a June Goal. Obviously you know how well that went for me since I haven’t posted since mid-June.

My Truth: Getting Healthy is Hard for Me
Please note the qualifier … FOR ME. Getting healthy is hard for me. It may also be hard for you. Or it may also be super duper easy for you. Or somewhere in-between. That is your truth and I respect it. My truth is that getting fit and eating right is not easy or second-nature or even something I always want. Sometimes the fault lies with me and other times, albeit far less frequently, it doesn’t. And I’m learning to accept this, not as a fatal flaw or excuse to give-up but an acknowledgement of the hard work I must do every day.

Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
It’s Father’s Day, which means I’m posting a recipe in honor of my Dad today. My Dad loves dessert, so I should’ve made him a dessert, right? The answer is yes. But I didn’t because I’m avoiding desserts. If my Dad was here, he’d get a homemade dessert for Father’s Day but he’s not, so I’m making something that makes me think of him. And that’s ground beef, yo.

May Bookshelf: One Book Less but Still Reading
Welp. Another month has come and gone and I did not read as much as intended, which appears to be my new normal. I should feel grateful that I overall enjoyed what I read but it’s hard. Reading, for whatever reason, isn’t sparking the same joy as it has in the past. Thus my joy meter is low overall. But let’s not get depressing, okay? We’re here to talk books which does make my heart happy.
