Two Saturday's ago I attempted to go outside and take a walk and that sparked a panic and fear in me as I was left with shaky, unstable, heavy legs that felt like jello, a worrying dizziness with every step I took as well as a feeling that I my body was just going to … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 50: Putting One Foot in Front of The Other
Soo much more has transpired in the past few days that my head is spinning like a Tilt A Whirl amusement park ride. What has me even more wound up? More pain. I have had overall body pain for a while but in these past few weeks it has really been excruciating. Soo much so … Continue reading Is this Karma From a Past Life Coming for Me?
Since 2022, July 4th has been a tough, emotional day to celebrate. This is the day that my dear papa passed away in the evening with my brother, mom and myself all around him as we watched him take his last breath. Even though he suffered with Alzheimer's for a few years, he still knew … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 34
Sometimes, you can get ahead of yourself. You cheer yourself on and encourage yourself to push a little harder. Sometimes, in your mind you're ready, but your body is not. Today was one of those days. I was even more sluggish than usual since drinking that stomach wrecking Barium-sulfate w/contrast concoction in the Emergency Room … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 31

I was disappointed, however that I was completely and … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 13
Before I started a set exercise schedule last month, I had soo many days, weeks where I was utterly wiped out.

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
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
