Something NEW!
I’ve been in a workout slump for weeks. Honestly, it’s probably been a few months now. I like working out it makes me feel good. Eating healthy and working out combined helps my waist line — bonus! But, truthfully I’ve become tired of the same ol’ same. I need a fresh workout routine, new workout […]
Flattered, thanks
I write. You read. You say, I inspire, motivate, and encourage you. But, I feel you give me as much if not more. I can’t do this in silence – battle obesity. That’s the very reason I started this blog in July 2010. We’ve been through a lot together. Some have come and gone, but […]
Cool Honor
Tomorrow, Saturday, February 25 I will have the privilege of speaking at a place I’ve long admired. A place that promotes literacy, books, and community activities — the public library. As a girl I loved going to the library and checking out tons of books. Story time was the highlight of many days. Libraries have […]
Organic Dilemma
I change my position. I once believed organic produce / food was the way to go, but after further deliberation (reading, researching, conversing with other thinkers). Uh, no. As typical with Americans, we’ve overdone it. We’ve lost our way. Now, organic food just comes down to business. The industry has strayed away from the very […]
Reminder break
I can so relate to the lyrics of Pink’s song Don’t Let Me Get Me. Lately, I’ve been struggling mightily with myself, “I’m my own worst enemy… I’m a hazard to myself.” I’m really, really disappointed in myself. I feel like I should be stronger, more toned, more fit, slimmer. Not fat anymore. I’m really […]
The Very Thing
The very thing I questioned my entire life. The very thing that caused me to feel weak, to feel vulnerable. The very thing that caused me to live with a negative spirit under a dark cloud. The very thing that caused me to be lazy, antisocial. The very thing that caused others to look at […]
Sometimes you feel like a blog…
I love writing, blogging, but sometimes I have too many thoughts in my head and can’t seem to write, blog. Today is one of those days. I have two blogs sitting in my mental queue, but just can’t formulate the words. I’ll play around with the words a little longer until I’m able to string […]
The Shift
Things were good, real good. No complaints just your normal everyday gripes. Boom! One year ago, today (February 17, 2011) I was hit by a car while walking as a pedestrian in a parking lot and suffered a fractured Tibia. I was in the best physical shape of my life. My physical endurance was at […]
Fresh air, perspective
A few days ago, I went on one of my tirades about losing my zest for working out. Those who have been following my blog, know that I always turn my rants into actions. Hopeful to reboot, resurge I decided to lace up my tennis shoes and go outside and take a walk. After all, […]
Real example
I’ve been there, done that — am doing that. That’s why most of you can relate to me. I’m not a Biggest Loser contestant on TV being worked by a staff of personal trainers and fed by personal chefs. I’m not an airbrushed Weight Watchers celebrity spokesperson. I’m not a health professional who has all […]
