Oh boy. That’s both scary and liberating. I have so closely managed my diet and exercise for the past 27 months. Now I am asked to change things. Lots of things go through my mind… What will happen if I make changes this drastic? What will my pre- and post-workout snacks look like if I…
I met with my cardiologist Friday and for the second time in a month, she said something about asking myself “why me?” This is not a question that I ask myself. It just never occurs to me. What are we asking when we ask this question? Why me and not someone else? Why me, I…
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a relatively new therapy (about 30 years old) as compared to psychoanalysis. It has more of a wellness approach than many other therapies. A primary focus of ACT is identification of personal values and making efforts to live one’s life in service of those values. ACT recognizes that when…
Before: You have such a pretty face! “I can’t imagine you have THAT much to lose!” I think you are pretty the way you are… During: Wow, you look great, be careful you don’t lose too much weight! “I thought you looked great before, but now…!” How are you doing it? Really, just exercising and…
Throughout this journey, my workouts have changed. As I have said in the past, my weight loss workouts were cardio, stability, core strength, and low level strength training. The goal was to lose weight and tone. Last year, I started using more intense workouts. At least they seemed pretty intense at the time. However, as…
On March 6, 2011, I reached my goal weight. Actually, I weighed in two pounds below my goal (128). I was thrilled and reveled in this for a while. I went shopping and bought stylish (and expensive) clothes and continued to work out in the same way as I had worked out for the past…
First, how much weight did you lose? In one year, I lost 80 pounds. I have since put on a few pounds – some because I was too thin at my lowest weight and a portion is muscle – more about that later. Back to the process…Within a few weeks, I was working out 5…
In the fall of 2007, we moved back home. Nothing had changed and everything had changed. I had a new job, new skills and perspective, and of course…more bumps in the road. I had been promised that this new job would bring a significant amount of responsibility and leadership. However, I found myself a staff…
Once again, I was alone in a new state. But this time, I had our Maltese to keep me company. I accepted this job because it offered an opportunity to work with my mentor and to be closer to my daughter and mother. These things were the high point of my time in Georgia. This…
The change that began in 2000 brought me new determination, so despite continuing to encounter roadblocks, I continued to bounce back and return to my exploration of the inner athlete. I spent my first six months in Nevada alone. I used that time to first walk and then run the hills. I took ice dancing…
