I am an entrepreneur by nature. My mind is creative. I see a problem, I want to solve it and then help others do the same. I don't deny anyone the opportunity to use their talents to make an income, a healthy profit even. I don't often haggle with people on the "buy, sell, trade" …
Surgiversary…
At this time, one year ago, I was being prepped for weight loss surgery. I was scared, and hopeful all at the same time. I understood that the road before me was going to be difficult and at times I might even wonder what the heck I had done, but I had no idea how …
Contemplation…
This morning I am deep in my thoughts. No particular reason, just one of those Sundays. I woke this morning knowing I faced a pretty tough workout (which I crushed, by the way) and all throughout my brain kept digging deeper and deeper into random thoughts. I would guess that most of it was triggered …
Leg day…
Today was leg day. Ugh. I have a love-hate relationship with leg workouts. I have strong legs. Like a lot of people, they are probably my best muscle in terms of fitness and strength, but I have horrible knees. In 1987 I was a competitive cyclist. Man, I put a LOT of miles on my …
Fairness…
One of my biggest concerns in losing so much weight was that I would go bankrupt trying to keep up with clothes for my shrinking size. I stretched a buck by signing up for Gwynnie Bee in the beginning (a clothing rental site that covers 0-plus size). That worked great, and helped stretch my clothing …
189.9
Finally broke a two month hiatus where I was hanging out in the #190's. No worries, I knew weight loss was going to slow, and I have been pounding strength training lately so I continue to see my body tighten and get smaller, but still, seeing the evidence on the scale from time to time …
Heartbroken…
Yesterday I stumbled on a post my friend, and soon to be "business" partner (for lack of a better term -- it'll make sense in the weeks to come) posted on FB. It was a link to an HBO documentary created by Dan Reynolds, lead singer of Imagine Dragons. Reynold's documentary traced the months leading …
Where to start…
So far, summer is off to a great start. We're well settled into the house and travel has been on the early part of the season. We made it to Florida and spent a great weekend with my nephew and his girlfriend, Melissa. They were great hosts and we had such a relaxing visit. Though …
Road Trip…
It's Memorial weekend and we are jumping in the car heading south. Now, south used to mean New Mexico, which let's be honest, isn't the most exciting destination...South now means Florida. I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Florida is a drive away. Kenzie's bestie, Demi, lives in Daytona Beach …
