Not much to report today. Still fighting a lingering cough that hits me whenever I try to amp up to more than a leisurely walk. Am thinking that it might just be time to call the doctor. I have had the stupid thing since the Sunday after Christmas. *le sigh* I sound like a smoker without even being one, so sad ( Read more... )

I am generally a confident, happy person who takes a lot in stride. But today was just harder than others to keep my chin up. Low energy, still getting over my cold and coughing, upset stomach from eating what I knew I should not have at lunch (potato salad... mayonnaise is not my friend) all of these things conspired to put me in a pretty ( Read more... )

Forgiving my body and learning to love it. Finding a swimsuit that will provide all over coverage, that is comfortable and fits me everywhere. Figuring out that while I am *not* my body, I am a sum of many parts, and that includes my body. Happiness is knowing that no matter where I am, I can find a big support base right here, inside of me ( Read more... )

1. Exercise: I have a three-year gym membership, and I intend to use it. Pre-paid I have no excuses. I have put my money on the line and I don't want to pay a fat-tax which is in essence what I will have done if I don't motivate and get to the gym. I have the resources at my fingertips, and there are no excuses for not using them. I want to ( Read more... )

I always seem to be out of sync... I get my eating under control, but I can't seem to fit in exercise, I do great for the week and work out regularly, but I can't seem to get my eating under control. I get emotional and feel down, and then the next day I feel good about myself and full of energy. And it's all a roller coaster ride. But it's ( Read more... )

I really try to be a positive person. Someone who looks towards the better parts of life and does not dwell on those things that make me feel rotten about myself or the world at large. For the most part I am well-adjusted, with a sunny disposition and a laid back look at life. (not always, but I strive ( Read more... )
