I Run Because…
…I can. There are so many more reasons. I could try to list them all but you have things to do today besides read this post and I have things to do besides type until my fingers cramp up. đ Because yes, yes there are THAT many reasons why I run. A few are: I …
Dear Male Customers,
October 11, 2001 It has come to my attention that many of you think I’m not able to successfully do my job as a Certified Fitness Trainer because of my gender. Well, I have been reticent long enough. Let me set you straight. It matters not if you refer to me as gal, girl, girlie, …
When yoga farts happen to good people.
First, let me clarify that they have NOT happened to ME yet. Second, I’m a classy chick, so never did I think I’d be devoting a post to farting in yoga class. But–never say never AND as I’ve said many a time, I like honesty/rawness in my blog. It’s a legit concern of mine, I’m heading …
Finally. The ubiquitous 7 links post.
When I write a post that gets a lot of views and a lot of heartfelt comments both here and on Facebook, it seems difficult to top it. Not necessarily “top”, but write something that is as worthy and inspirational. Yesterday’s post, A Former Fat Girl’s Long Awaited Day, is one of those. EVERYTHING I post …
I’m not creepy. I just need a picture for my blog.
As luck would have it, thanks to finally hanging up my piles of clothing that I talked about yesterday, I found my new camera! Technically, I bought it in February 2010. But since it hadn’t been used, it is new to me! And what perfect timing–I’m about to go on a weekend roadtrip to DC …
Making a mockery out of a Mocktail search.
“Yo, baby, why you in that wheelchair?” Yes, someone really asked me that tonight at Walmart. The sad/humorous thing is that he was trying to use that as a pick-up line. Really, dude? But hey, if I can get hit on driving a motorized wheelchair in Walmart while wearing my sweats and glasses and have my …
Lose Control.
âControl is never achieved when sought after directly. It is the surprising outcome of letting go.â Â ~James Arthur Ray Iâm not a controlling person. I donât mind if things donât always go my way. I understand that this is life, and there will be many times when things are out of my control and there …
You, my dear, are a Status Troll.
Ah, yesâthe Facebook Status Troll. Whether you say tomato or tomahto, however you want to define it, I bet you know just what Iâm talking about. Most of us seem to have them, which is what I found to be the general consensus. Anytime I mention the status troll (ST), that little red notification flag …
From Fat to PHat.
 I’d like to thank Nurse Practitioner Murphy for the inspiration… đ Phonetically, they are the same. But âfatâ and âphatâ carry very different meanings. I never realized just how much until a back injury sidelined me for three months over the summer. During a doctorâs appointment, the nurse practitioner referred to me as fat and …
*viewer discretion is advised*
