I can’t believe it’s been a full week since I blogged. I had intended to move it to another sub-domain and just haven’t had made the time for it. And a today, I read the following 3 articles that I wanted to come back to…obesity articulated as a disease seems to raise some interesting issues, […]
People have asked if I will keep the blog after today, and the answer is yes! It will get a new name, and I won’t likely post everyday, but more on that transition later this week. I plan to use it much as I have these last 3 months in reflecting on and learning from […]
I find it easier to deal with things going on in my life if I can identify how I am feeling about that. I think this represents living rather than going through the motions. I have had very specific reactions to certain feelings, but I’ve learned that if I stop to think and reflect in […]
A couple of things this week caught my attention this, but I haven’t had a chance to follow up or watch yet, so I store them here to come back to. This is a documentary called “All of Me” which “shines light on our attitudes and prejudices about obesity — its causes, challenges, and the […]

I have been working on the following post for a good while. It’s a pretty hard one because it links lots of experiences related to my body and how I’ve (mis) treated it. I went to the doctor earlier this week for a check-up. I love knowing my blood pressure and it was perfect 124/70 […]
I get this in ways I never could have imagined especially when it comes to fitness goals, writing goals, and this blog. It’s true that we do like instant gratification especially it seems when it comes to our bodies. But we know that almost all things take time. The excellent thing about 3 months is […]
Lots of things have come together for me this week, and today’s post seems like just the day to write about what I’ve been thinking and learning about.
