It is going on two years since I was certified as a personal trainer at the Cooper Institute. In order for me to keep my certification I have to take a couple classes, so I signed up for my first one yesterday. I am taking a nutrition course. I hope I learn something new. I […]
The Duck Flu
Published in October 5th, 2009
Well it is Monday morning again! First off, Hi to Amy! Glad to see you are still stopping by. I hope you are doing well. My son is sick! He has the flu and because of the paranoia of swine flu they require anyone with a fever to stay home for 7 days. I don’t […]
My Son Hates Fat People
Published in October 3rd, 2009
My son told me yesterday that he hates fat people. It really bothers me that he would discriminate against someone just because of his or her weight, but the reality is, he is not alone. In this world, many people discriminate against overweight people. It doesn’t even have to be severely obese people. I tried […]
My journey continues
Published in September 29th, 2009
I can’t seem to get back on track with my blog. Every time I write I do it with the intention of sticking to it daily, but for some reason I don’t keep up with it. I am going to try yet again to keep posting. My workouts have been non-existent for months because of […]
I can smell again…it is a dangerous thing.
Published in March 26th, 2009
I didn’t realize that I wasn’t able to smell anymore until I could actually smell something again. Odd I know. I broke my nose in my car accident and somehow I also lost my sense of smell.
Today I could smell some sort of meat and it finally dawned on me that I have not […]
Water, water and more water…
Published in January 8th, 2009

According to the Mayo Clinic:
Water actually regulates our body temperature
Lubricates our joints
Lessen the burden on the kidneys and liver by […]
I am so tired of people bitching
Published in January 6th, 2009
Okay, I know I have been guilty of this myself in the past, but I am so tired of people bitching about their weight while they are eating crap and not exercising. So many people bitch to me about being fat, but then don’t do anything about it. In the meantime, they even make fun […]
Amy’s daily food journal
Published in January 4th, 2009
Okay, below is what Amy sent for her eating for one day. I am going to critique it because it might be helpful to others as well.
“h! You are so sweet. I guess I will tell you what I ate today:
1/2 cup of grape nuts, milk, blueberries and a banana. coffee with milk, no […]
The New Year’s Trap
Published in December 22nd, 2008
It is that time of year again when people make these New Years resolutions. I think this is a huge mistake and a trap. How many people actually stick with their resolutions? The success rate is not good. It is like going on a “diet.” As soon as you call it a diet it makes […]
Holiday Madness
Published in December 21st, 2008
Well Christmas seems to be creeping up so fast and I have so much to do. Over the years I have had a tradition of baking cookies and desserts for the holidays to give to friends and family. Last year I didn’t bake because I was afraid I would have trouble not eating any of […]
