Serious

A Guilty Good

05.26.2011

While working on a project today for the day job, I got hit with a thought. I started scribbling. Words started coming out, and once I got them on paper. I tucked them in my purse to ponder at a later time. I wrote this in my last FitBloggin’ recap post, and wanted to repost it …

Mental Matters

05.03.2011

It’s about to get serious up in here, y’all! Super personal, and probably very long. Today, something really hit me and I wanted to share it because I’m not sure how much I’ve really talked about this with much candor. I had an “aha moment” and it happened while in the waiting room of my psychiatrist …

Walk (or Run) This Way

05.01.2011

This weekend, I’ve seen some wonderful Twitter and Facebook updates from friends who have competed in various 10K’s, half marathons and full marathons either yesterday or today. People excited for personal records (PRs), excited for finishing a new distance, etc. Since my half-marathon, I’ve tried to reshape the accomplishment in my mind. The way that I …

Flying When Overweight

04.26.2011

One of the top questions I get emails about doesn’t have to do with diet or exercise, it has to do with what to expect when being fuller figured and flying on an airplane. I completely understand the anxiety of the situation. We’ve heard horror stories, and even famous people like Kevin Smith aren’t immune (as …

I was checking out a story over at Fast Company online when my eyes immediatley darted to a photo of a big ol plate of fast food with the article heading: Your Mom is Why You’re Fat. Of course, I clicked immediately to see what the story really was about. Apparently there is a study coming …

She Believed

04.24.2011

I’ve struggled a little with motivation this past week. My schedule has been more hectic than usual and my sleep schedule is off. This means that my gym workouts have suffered in favor of sleep. Tired mind and tired body. Food was good all week, partly because I was too busy and/or tired to think …

Freedom Week

04.10.2011

This week, I had a rest week. I looked forward to this week during half marathon training: the week where I could just not do anything and take it easy so I could start a new training program the following week. I expected to feel some sort of freedom: time without forcing myself to work out …

Coming out of the dark

04.06.2011

No, I’m not channeling the old Gloria Estefan song, although whenever I see that phrase, “coming out of the dark,” I must sing it in my head ala Mz Estefan. But I digress. I am pretty flabbergasted (in a good way) with all of the comments I received on my last post about not being able …

Acceptance

04.04.2011

Can I be honest? (I always am here, LOL). I’ve had a rough day. Yesterday, I did something that my mind knows should be incredible. But I don’t feel incredible. I have been flooded with the most wonderful messages of support and loveliness through Twitter, comments here, and Facebook. My sister surprised me with some beautiful earrings …
