Before I started a set exercise schedule last month, I had soo many days, weeks where I was utterly wiped out. Since I started up again, the days where I was too dog-tired to do anything were becoming less and I noticed I was able to push through the exhaustion which was very encouraging. Today … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 11
I looked at the calendar and saw that today marks 1 month since I began exercising again and Day 11 of checking in online and holding myself accountable. Today I did only 11 minutes on the glider, and 50 pullbacks with the resistance band, plus 20 gentle squats. I also took my lunch hour to … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 10
Many of us, as we are growing up, look at celebs in magazines, or those older than us and observe what they look like, how they dress, how they carry themselves, etc. We then, in turn, look at ourselves and see how we measure up. How do we compare? How do we look? What do … Continue reading Learning to Appreciate Your Past, Present and Future Self
Yesterday I didn't mention that I have been struggling just a tad on losing a bit of weight. Now 14 pounds may be nothing to many, but for me, it's been a struggle. At 5'2, I always weighed between 115 and 126. I have never weighed more than 130 pounds with the exception of college … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 9

I watched the movie Office Space on cable well after I graduated college on Comedy Central and well before I started working at a corporate desk job so, while I found the movie to be funny, it wasn't really relatable to me....yet. Now, I TOTALLY get it when they said "Sounds like someone has a … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 7
After feeling super sad for missing out on hanging out with my friends who I haven't seen since last year, I woke up determined to put that behind me and not give up on my daily workout routine no matter what. Today I did 15 minutes on the air walker, then moved on to DDPY … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 6
Today started out like all the others, I got on my air walk trainer, and today, I set a new goal. 20 MINUTES! 20 minutes, which felt pretty easy, so I was on cloud nine!

A week or two ago I was talking to a group of wonderful women, appropriately named @theworthygoddessclub who I consider my friends about things we may have seen as an issue or a problem but we now have learned to embrace or value it. This got me thinking about my butt. I know, that's not … Continue reading Dead Butt Syndrome
After tossing and turning all night, I started my day at 5:45am because why bother waiting till 630...I can't sleep anyway. My neck, feels super subluxated, my back, legs, glutes have a dull aching pain and my stomach feels like an elephant is sitting on my intestines. After my morning ritual, brush teeth, wash face, … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 4
