Now what…

Isn’t that the question we all dread?

For the last 10 months I’ve been consumed with counting calories, moving more and eating less, taking control of my life, looking at my past to move towards my future, learning to accept all parts of me (emotionally, mentally and physically), challenging my beliefs of who […]

The lightbulb above my head…

Did you see that light bulb go off above my head?

You know the one that goes off when you either have an awesome idea or when you come to a realization of some grand proportion? I’m not one for awesome ideas so I’m going to chalk this particular light bulb […]

My Body…

I love it.

I hate it.

I touch it.

I cringe.

I squeeze.

I smile.

It’s the only one I’ve got.

I can’t go into a store and exchange it for a different style, or color or return it because it’s not functioning the way I thought it should. […]

Taking advice from myself through friends…

Yesterday I got to hang out with Val over at SeattleRunnerGirl and through the course of our talking she gave me some really good advice:

Follow the advice you give to others.

I know I know, seems simple enough but truth be told we rarely follow our own advice that we give to […]

A giveaway…or rather a twitaway!!!

Yesterday in between going from one job to another, packing my food for today’s busy schedule and trying to remember to put clean underwear in my gym bag I took a few moments to enjoy one of my favorite go to foods: Chobani Greek Yogurt. I’m lucky enough to have a Costco that sells […]

Houston, we have a problem…

I don’t have much control when out of my comfort zone.

People often tell me how impressed they are with my weight loss and how motivated they are by my ability to stick with the journey. Some days I have no idea who they are talking about. The person who gets up at […]

Hidden Messages…

First of all I would like to preface this post by saying I am extremely grateful for all the comments on the last three posts. “How much do you weigh Emotionally“, “Exposing myself to the world” and “Fear of making goal weight” were some very emotionally driven posts. I blog very truthfully not only […]

Exposing myself to the world…

This time last year I was still sitting around playing World of Warcraft for upwards to 8 hours a day. I weighed the heaviest I’ve ever weighed (270 pounds) and I was in a sad state of affairs. This time last year Mish was typing a post about exposing yourself and loving the body […]

Meet Kay and her son Jake

It’s interesting how you come to meet people in your life and then find out later there is a purpose to that meeting. Kay and I met at the gym a while back after she started her sessions with Godfather. I’m an early bird. Kay is an even earlier bird. I have the 6a […]

OWiS #39…

I spent two weeks staying away from the scale.I didn’t look at it. I didn’t think about it (okay I did think about it but it got a lot easier as time went on). In those two weeks I did some pretty awesome things like run 8 miles in 80 minutes and complete my […]
