Sick & Tired of Being Sick & Tired

Yesterday.....I was exhausted. It took everything I had in me to head to the shelter to volunteer.  Today at work I lost another pair of jeans to "thigh rub" (should be self-explanatory).That was also the final straw. The proverbial camel's back has been broken. I am so tired of being tired and lethargic. Sure I work hard physically just about everyday but that's no excuse for not getting into shape! The muscles I use when lifting a 40lbs bag of potting soil aren't the same ones I use to ride a bike. I want to be at a healthy manageable weight and right now 150lbs and 5' just isn't that. When I was in college and actively participating in Crew I was a solid mass of 120lbs toned muscle. Now don't get me wrong I still had a large butt, a decent bra size and a definite Coca-Cola bottle shape but is was still all visually appealing to me when I looked in the mirror. Now when I look in the mirror the image staring back at me screams "Wtf". The worst part? IF I DON'T TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION.....IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE. Let's face it I am not getting any younger and thus it won't get any easier.  I say all of this not to put myself down but to build myself up and motivate me to a healthier more balanced lifestyle.  Plus when you work out you gain more stamina, energy and tend to be in a more positive up building mood. It starts today! As soon as I spell check this post I am heading downstairs to the gym. Afterwards I am going to check on times for local bike shops and finally fix the gears on my bike. Oh and one last thing I loved to in line skate as a teen so I think its time for a comeback!  I vow starting May 6th to clean commute via bike, walk or skate 3x a week. I WILL get back in shape even if I have to trick myself into doing it. Until next post....laters!

Another holiday season is upon us! Another time were I am torn about how much I spend versus how much I save. Bah humbug. Alas hopefully I will have several epiphanies before December 14th.

Just gotta be me

So I went home this weekend...I had so much fun...I miss my family so much sometimes, but while I was home I learned something about myself I can't live MY life for my family. It's time for me to venture out into to the world with the training they have given me and do my own thing...therefore I'm getting a tattoo...this is just a sign of my personal growth and freedom..God forbid my parent trip but like I said this isn't about rebelling it's about doing ME

Three states, One Girl

No, this is not the beginning of a bad joke. It's actually the beginning of a cool trip. I had a conference in Boston a couple of weeks ago. That was my first time in MA, while there I took the opportunity to check off a couple of additional NE states that I'd never been too. Depending on who you ask NY may or may not be considered NE but in any case previously I'd only been as far north as CT. With this trip I also saw NH & ME. I actually had to look up the abbreviation for Maine because I'd never been and couldn't remember what it was 😅.  Coastal Maine was beautiful. I've obviously been on the east coast waters before but seeing it as a lush green forestscape was another thing entirely. I definitely see why it's the setting of so many Stephen King stories, it's hauntingly beautiful. New Hampshire was a bit more rustic than I expected in the most delightful way. Massachusetts (Boston) was fun to explore and I spent so much time doing something I ne...
