Last night at the Ryan Adams show at the Fox, I ran into an old friend. Things didn't end so well between us, so the chance encounter was awkward to say the least. At first, anyway. My heart skipped a beat when I realized who had called my name from across the room - the last person on earth I wanted to see.
After the first few minutes of superficial 'you look great' comments, it occured to me that my old friend was glad to see me. I had reached out to her a year and a half or so ago to try and mend things, without any real response, so I had let it go. You can imagine my shock and disbelief when we ended up confessing our miscommunications over a few glasses of wine, hugging, laughing (I actually shed a tear or two; hoping she didn't notice) and sharing stories from our past four years that we had not shared together. Actually, I'm still a little baffled by it all.
It is such a warm feeling I can't explain. I suggest everyone try a little forgiveness of your own and see what happens...
To old friends!

who's birdie?
Birdie is just an old nickname I had back when my hair was super short. Most people around here know me as Adora. But my friends who really know me call me Mandy. Confused yet?
Yeah, I should probably suffer from multiple personality disorder.
This is the place where I've documented my journey to being healthy. I have struggled with being healthy my entire life. I adopted poor eating habits I learned from my family and their inactive lifestye. After reaching an all time high of 205 pounds, I decided to change things for good. For a long time I focused soley on the numbers. I lost 50 pounds in a two year period. I'm at a comfortable place now and I've chosen to give up chasing an elusive scale related goal and instead focus on my eating habits and fitness. Here are my stories, my struggles, my advice and my opinions. I hope that you'll find something here that motivates you to be healthy too!
