The Real Fear Factor, Yours

Fear is a really funny thing. It’s everywhere. We all try to ignore it because we know that if we don’t, we’ll get caught up in the whole fear mentality and it’s incredibly hard to get out of it. Well I just went face to face with one of my fears. I’m still standing but…

Why I’m Giving Up Bullsh*t for Lent & Why You Should Too

This is my first post that I’ve written on my blackberry so forgive me if the formatting, spelling & layout is all over the place. I’ll pretty it up later : ) Why am I writing blog entries on my blackberry? Simple. Because getting to a computer & actually sitting down & writing what’s on…

Go Un-Plug Yourself…‏

At first glance, this could seem a little inappropriate, but I promise, it’s not! I’ll admit that I’m coming off a mini-vacation that I, in a way, forced upon myself after running an insane amount in 2 days. But what that time away did was give me a chance to look at what I’ve been…

A Goofy Retrospective of 2009

Believe it or not, but I’ve put off writing this for over a week. No big reason why, no huge, daunting challenge BUT I figured “retrospective” spoke more to the very end of the year rather than the end of the year, but still needing to squeeze in just one more week. When I look…

You Have The Choice. You’ve Always Had the Choice

I have to admit something to you. I’m a recovering non-decision maker. Procrastination was my MO and even though I hated rushing at the last minute, I just couldn’t stop. Sound familiar to anyone out there? Well, today you have the choice and the opportunity to make a very important decision. Actually every day you have the opportunity…

Open Yourself Up To New Possibilities

How open to new “stuff” are you? Be honest.  How open are you to new people, places, foods or experiences? I’ve found that so many of us are creatures of habit, myself included.  There’s nothing wrong with that! The only time we suffer is when we close ourselves off to potentially experiencing new (and beneficial)…

Nutrition Lessons From a Marathon

Okay, I can admit it, I like to run.  I don’t know how good I am at it, but honestly, I’ve never really cared. I never thought that I would ever attempt the marathon. Seemed too daunting, just too long of a distance to run at one time. Anyone agree with me?  26.2 miles?  How could anyone ever…

Are You Ready to Pull Your Hair Out?

Can I be real with you for a moment? I know that we’re supposed to be talking about nutrition, healthy food and diets here, but I have to share something with you and I think today is the perfect day to do so. Have you ever had that moment where you get so frustrated that…
