What if I told you that you aren't broken? That your diagnosis was based on speculation and "society's" need to label what it doesn't understand, or what doesn't fit into the box? Are there major neurosis out there that cause people to suffer mentally and physically? I'm sure there are, but I'm not talking about … Continue reading What if?
Accountability
I'm on week one of my 2nd Nerd Fitness Challenge, week two of my own Life/Fitness Challenge; the Eight Week Challenge on The Caffeinated Writer is in week three and has some new participants (check them out via links found here). In lieu of all this "challenging" going on, I am looking at some key … Continue reading Accountability
A New Hope
Hiddy Ho good neighbors. So, it would appear I jumped the gun in one challenge, and am a week behind in another. Story of my life, but I'm going to run with it anyway and jump right into my 2nd official Life/Fitness Challenge. I'm sticking with the Star Wars theme because, well.. . (giggle. this … Continue reading A New Hope
Let’s Try This Again.
So, my first four week fitness / life challenge comes to a close this evening. I called it The Force Awakens (yeah, I thought it was cute at the time; definitely proved to be overly optimistic, not to mention wildly out of order). Anyway, about mid-way through, The Empire struck Back and I lost my … Continue reading Let’s Try This Again.
On My Mark, Getting Set…
Alright you guys, challenge starts tomorrow. And I can honestly say, I'm already freaking out a bit. You know why? I'm making changes in my lifestyle; attempting to establish new habits. Always a daunting task. I finally got my Fit Bit Aria scale linked to wi-fi and all. Stepped on it and uh, ouch, lol. … Continue reading On My Mark, Getting Set…

Day One’s
Not to be confused with "One Day's" - those are promises or goals, or wishes. Nope, Day One's are the days you actually get up and do something that starts you on the way to new. You can call them "First Day's" as well, but usually, "First Day's" don't always involve new activities. First day … Continue reading Day One’s
Walking down the street
Well, not exactly. I was out getting a little stroll in this morning around the apartment complex. I was paying attention to all the different noises the birds were making. Did you know that some birds have a whole vocabulary of noises they make? There was this one, sitting on a wire that I promise … Continue reading Walking down the street
End of Year Purge
Oh if that doesn't bring to mind horrid visuals. The title of the post I mean. But I'm being lazy and rolling with the first title that came to mind. I'll just get to the point here. I'm getting back on the Body Love wagon so I'm purging the bad habits again. Bye-bye sweet tea, … Continue reading End of Year Purge
Starting Over…AGAIN!
Stats for Nov. 3 NaNo Word Count: 1709 Body Fat: 36% Weight: 196.5 As it is with my NaNo project this year, so it is with my healthy living. As I mentioned, my vacation earlier this fall threw me off track. While on vacation, I didn't do too badly; I tried to balance all of … Continue reading Starting Over…AGAIN!
