Here’s a good article about how to “be enough.” She lacks confidence, she craves admiration insatiably. She lives on the reflections of herself in the eyes of others. She does not dare to be herself. ~Anais Nin I don’t really fight with being who I am anymore. It took me years to get there. To […]

I could have written this article myself. But I didn’t.  You should read it anyway. Wonderful.   PRACTICING YOGA WHILE FAT I’ve been wanting to try Yoga again but have been terrified of the reactions I’ll get because even though I’m fit…I’m fat. And yes, you can be both. But I love yoga and I […]

So it’s no secret I’m a Disney fan. Seven years ago one of the biggest motivators in my even considering a half marathon was a newspaper ad announcing the Inaugural Disneyland Half Marathon. The medal was so shiny: I was way too scared/lazy/out of shape to even make an attempt at that first event. In […]

I have this habit of thinking about blog posts in such a way that I’m certain I must have typed them. Then I look at my post history and oops…no I didn’t. Like my post explaining how Dietbet works. Nope. Or the one explaining how I did and how a bet ends. Nope. Granted the […]

I took about an 8 day break due to an ear infection. I decided I didn’t want to weigh because it might depress me, so I measured instead. I’m -6.75 inches in 23 days! Not bad!! Especially since I didn’t do anything but eat, drink and sloth for 8 of those days… Now, am I […]

My plan this morning was to weigh-in and blog about the end of my first Dietbet. I’d planned to type while watching the end of the Boston Marathon via live feed. You see while Boston is geographically 3,000 miles from California, it felt a closer this morning. Boston is an elite race, you either have […]

I have one week left in my 28 day Dietbet and I’ve reached the point where the novelty of eating clean has worn off a bit. I need to lose two more pounds in the next 7 days, which is reasonable but I’m sitting on a pretty big plateau I’ve been fighting off and on for awhile. It […]

I’ve ‘started over’ a lot in my adult fitness battle. I don’t apologize for it, because I’m human. Things happen. We go through trials and tribulations that are real…or at least, real to us, and we sometimes pick the wrong way to deal with those issues.
