So if I originally fell into vegetarianism because of a guy that I am no longer dating, why am I still? I believe full-heartedly that we cross paths with people, places, situations, for a reason- that everything is interlaced. We grow from these interactions and hopefully come out better human beings at the end of […]

I have been vegetarian for about 8 years now. Most people make their way to it by realizing that their food once was able to blink and breathe. Me, however — my path to not eating meat was through a boy. A really handsome boy that I was with for 8 years. His choice was […]

I don’t want to stop my life just to lose weight quickly. Hell, I don’t want to wake up an hour earlier just to squeeze fitness into my day or pre-plan my meals. Am I stubborn? As hell.  Am I stupid? In my approach, yes. This is not a great attitude for keeping healthy. This […]

I’m annoyed with myself and when I dig myself into a hole of loathing, it’s difficult to crawl out. It’s also been a side effect of burn out in other areas of my life. One of my dreams was to go through Grad School and get a Master’s degree. For what I do, and want […]

I know I’m not the only one who finds their self unenthused to continue their fitness routine and constantly falls off the band wagon. Although I have found activities that I enjoy, sometimes sleep seems more inviting since I’m already in bed. Not only do I have to get up, but I have to put […]

I’m a miserable mess right now on a seemingly continuous downward spiral. My period is due soon, so I’m semi-sure my emotional ineptitude is partly due to that horror and why I’ve been such a diva (when really, that’s not a part of my personality — I’m typically easy going!) I haven’t gained (thank goodness) […]

Yogurt, Kashi cereal, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, pasta, chips and verde salsa.  That’s what I have eaten this past week, and pretty much every week. Every morning I wake up, drink a glass of water then wait until I’m hungry which usually takes 30 minutes to an hour.  I put three spoonfuls of Yoplait strawberry yogurt […]

This week hasn’t gone so well. Last week I managed to lose 5 lbs with a gun-shot start but this week is a total slump. I managed to lose, but the way I feel isn’t in line. It sneaks up on you. Like a shark circling it’s weight loss goal with fervor but then realizing […]

This week is all about easing into a routine that I feel will work for me. From my past trial and errors, I’ve put together the three activities that I actually enjoy and love: dancing, swimming, and jogging. For the past few months, I have tried to be active for at least three days a […]

I feel like I have started “the first day of the rest of my life” about 100 times already. The fact is that the first day of my life was the day I was born in 1987. We can be reborn, reinvented, but our life goes on and one day life will go on without […]
