To say that this past month has been difficult would be an understatement because not only has it been hard physically, it has been even harder emotionally. I've never been a person to stay in the dumps very long or always feel defeated, but that is exactly how I have felt lately. I have been... Continue Reading →
No Motivation
I am still stuck in a rut. I have absolutely no motivation to do anything. Last month I had lower back problems and had to stop working out for 3 weeks as I recovered. I've only been back to the gym a few times, even though my doctor gave me full release over a week... Continue Reading →
There Will Always Be Excuses
Have you ever wondered if anyone really cares about your journey to gain better health and lose weight? I have been wondering about that a lot lately. Since March of this year, I haven’t been doing the greatest when it comes to eating right. I have kept up my workouts and I am staying active... Continue Reading →
Is This What Youth Looks Like?
My mother said something on Mother’s Day while we were taking pictures that keeps resonating within me. It resonates because I felt it deep down. It was one of those things that you know will stay with you forever because it “struck a chord” on the inside of you. We were taking selfies together being... Continue Reading →

When Trying To Do Right Goes Wrong
I swear, you would think that I would learn by now to NEVER go to the vending machines at work. Today I brought a sandwich for my lunch, and I wanted to try to find a low calorie option for some kind of crunch to go with it. Does anyone else feel like a sandwich... Continue Reading →
Chocolate Gravy
Every Sunday morning before church, my whole family would gather together at my grandparents and have breakfast. My grandmother made the biggest breakfast spread that you can imagine. One thing that was always on the menu besides the normal sausage gravy, was chocolate gravy. I know a lot of northerners never have heard of this... Continue Reading →
It’s Never Too Late
When I was in my thirties and first started out on my weight loss journey, I lived in Florida. There was a paved bicycle trail that went from one city to another, and a friend and I would ride it a few times a week for some exercise. My favorite part of the ride was... Continue Reading →
It Was Only Yesterday
This is me all day, every day! I swear it was only yesterday that I was riding down the road with my Mom and I wondered what I would be like at her age, and now...well now... I'm past that age! I think I was around 15 when that happened, so that would make her... Continue Reading →
Feeling So Uninspired
Today is the day that I usually go get groceries and do all my meal prepping for the week. I did make it to the grocery store, but I had no inspiration for my meals for the week. In fact, since this past Friday, I've not had much inspiration at all. I have been in... Continue Reading →
