So before the holidays, I started a private fitness associated Facebook support group. There are 46 members, a few lurkers, but many of us are active participants. And we are ALL at various different fitness levels. And we are from all over the country. It has been been one of the most truly rewarding and […]

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 […]

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’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 […]

When I first started running it REALLY sucked. I was conscious of every fat cell, every ounce of extra weight on my body and exercising in public was pretty miserable for me. So you can imagine how much my gut clenched when I saw the title of this blog written by an ultrarunner. Ultrarunners are […]

I saw this video today for the first time and loved it. Nearly 200 years after this song was composed I just added it, in it’s original form to my running playlist. Best.Flashmob.Ever.

I saw a picture today and knew I had to post it. I tend to like motivational photos (because I’m cheesy like that), I like the optimistic ones like: Particuarly since I’m my own worst critic and it’s part of how I self-sabotage. Then I saw this one and realized I needed to keep it in […]

Depression can be very, very sneaky. It can grab a hold of you when you least expect it…and then what do you do? Well, if you’re me, you try to eat, drink, and sleep it off. And then you wake up fat and dumpy slightly more curvy than expected. (And winter is coming (hur hur)…I […]
