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 […]

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 […]
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. Sometimes, I’ve just stopped working out or stopped eating […]
-3.4 lbs I walked at least 30 minutes every day. Twice I did the elliptical, and twice I walked longer than an hour. I feel great. I am hoping to add yoga at home…I’d love to take a class, but it’s been so long since I’ve done yoga, I’m afraid I’ll fall, knock someone over, […]
CarbKiller has reinspired me. (is that even a real word? Reinspire? Oh well, it is now.) Actually, reinspire isn’t quite correct. I’m inspired everyday. But my motivation is severely lacking. But today, I’m starting anew, and I’m using this as my mantra: 12 weeks. That’s what it says. So from April 1 – June […]
Last night, our fearless Bootcamp leader seemed to have much contempt toward legs and asses. I mean–wow. I get it. It’s supposed to hurt. I’m supposed to be tired. I know I won’t wake up with Beyonce’s ass if I don’t work for it–but DAMN. Really? My legs give new meaning to Rubberband Man. I […]
-2.4 lbs this week. -7 lbs total 5 Bootcamps down; 4 to go. Color Run team is registered and we are gonna have a fantastic time! LR Half-Marathon Team is registered and we’re gonna kick some ass. I feel great. Tell me again why do I think it’s okay to “take a break” from […]
The title of this blog post looks like an algebraic equation. Maf hurts my head. Last night was bootcamp class #4 and it was a tough class. The toughest so far…however, it felt almost easier. All the walking I did last week in between classes paid off! Yippee! I’m the right amount of sore this […]
6 to go… Bootcamp week 1 is over…and to celebrate, I weighed…to the tune of -5lbs! yippee! Today, I walk. Tomorrow I walk. This weekend…more walking. And when my abs stop punching me from the inside, I’m sure I’ll do some more ab work. Right now, laughter feels like ab work. I’m proud of myself. […]
