Watch with Marcella

I've always been on the bigger side, I guess. I've been overweight most of my life. I think I was at my smallest as a child and that doesn't count. I got my heaviest after I quit smoking. I gained 30 lbs. I've tried Tae-Bo, Ally, fad-diets and more. I refuse to get surgery, because for me personally it would be cheating. Awesome success for others that have done it - more power to you, but for me, I want to kick this weights ass on my own. IT IS SO HARD THOUGH!   2010 - Family vacation. I hate this photo. I look at it and I just don't know how I got this way. Fast food, beer and sweets. That's how I got this way. I like to eat. Like most of us do. I didn't exercise and I love watching movies. I also work from home - so I'm on my ass all day long. ALL DAY! A few years ago, I met a wonderful new friend Rena and she is such a positive influence on everyone around her. Her personal tales of weight loss inspired me to change my life. Gave me...

The last Total Solar eclipse for the next 500 years. Did you see it? I made a viewing box, found the directions on YouTube. I didn't see much - just a sliver. Still, pretty cool.

Drama that I get wrapped up in, doesn't seem so serious when you look at the massive size of the universe. The splendor that is the galaxy dwarfs our tiny little existence. I dont know why I decided to open this page and start this blog today. I guess there are just things in my mind that I need to get out. I think it will therapeutic in a way. I hope you enjoy my thoughts and you don't judge me for them.

In preparation for Netflix's  The Defenders , I've been binge watching  Daredevil ,  Iron Fist , and  Luke Cage . I had already devoured  Jessica Jones . If you know me, you know I ❤️ David Tennant. I found out recently that I might be in for a treat in season 2 of the Jessica's story. Images may be subject to copyright I made it through  Iron Fist  and yes, it was a chore. 😴 The cast, storylines and pacing were not great. Ugh. It was hard. I did it, but it was hard. Finn Jones plays the title character, Danny Rand aka Iron Fist. You may recognize him from GoT as Loras Tyrell. I wasn't found of him there and I'm not fond of him here. He is just kind of bland. If I had to hear him say "I'm Danny Rand" one more time, I think I might have thrown something through my iPad. I will get to  Luke Cage , eventually. I guess. I didn't like him on JJ, so I can't imagine enjoying him on his own. I am halfway through season 2 of  Darede...
