Was It Something I said?

I had little eye opener the other night! As I'm trying to get my fitness business up and running to the supporting the house status I hope it will take; I also work in one of our local watering holes. Last night a former member of a gym I was employed with came into that bar. Let me back track alittle...during the time that the gym was running I was responsible for the opening of the gym in the mornings...often I would get in to work early...you know set up and get rready for my morning clients.… Continue

I think the ball is finally rolling!! I had been away from the house all day and I'm embarassed to say no one really calls my cell! But Good things come to those who wait and if you can see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand. (all words that I have been trying so hard to live by as of late.) I started the day in my ususal way, maybe even a little easier than normal. Woke up, hollered at my son to get moving a nd ready for school, did a quick check on the world wide web, then hdrove t… Continue

"It's war inside my head, if I take day off I'll be dead"...quoting Dave Mustaine's Sweating Bullets track

That should set the tone for the opening to this blog...related to fitness...not really, related to cleaning out your mind...absolutely! As most of you know, I have been busy driving across Canada all summer long, in fact, it's been one heck of a busy year to be honest. I have had very little time to compose a sentence, let alone any sort of structured mindless rants that everyone seems to enjoy. The end result of not writing more frequently, you guessed it, a cluster ^*@! of stuff to try and t… Continue

I want to change the outside part of me.....for me, but you have to change the inside first.

I am struggling so much with everything at the minute, some days are good, some days are bad, some days are extremely bad, I sometimes really find it hard to think about going on at times.... I said this would be hard, to do the blog daily I mean. I'm actually finding things hard again, but at the same time I keep getting strength from somewhere, and it makes me more determined to go on. I see me in a whole different situation this time next year, both physically and mentally. I really, really w… Continue

Yesterday I finally realised the most important thing in my life is.........me.

Yesterday was a good day. Well compared to previous recent days, yesterday was a great day. I have been unhappy in my job for such a long time, not just the actual job I'm in now, but the actual line of work. I currently work in a call centre for an Energy Supplier in customer services. I've been there for around 2 and a half years now, and before that I worked in several call centres, overall for over 10 years. I only kept going for those kind of jobs for the salaries, as they are well paid. B… Continue

Decisions can be made when you least expect them to be made.......but is it you that makes the decision?

They say that things happen for a reason....well I am living proof of that. My life has had so many situations in it where things have gone so wrong, but something good has come out of it....but if I had gone one way, life would have been so much more different, but not always good....but the decision was made for me each time....fate is the word I would use. I don't expect you to understand what I have just said....but you may. Friday was a very strange day. A lot of things happened, some good… Continue

My NEW Addition

OK so here it goes...September 10th and I'm a scratter brain trying to find more hours in a day to what??? WORK!! I feel like I'm being ppulled at every direction and as soon as I sit to what I think I wanna do I get distracted. (those that know me would agree, I like shiny objects!) I suppose it all started about a monthe ago when my Small business officailly started being a BUSINESS! I held my first ZUMBA class under the Anti-Static Kinetics name and since then well I haven't been able to stop… Continue

It's all about choice......

Recently, all my days are starting off good, then they end up so not good. I start off in a positive frame of mind, determined to make the most of the day ahead and deal with things as and if they come...Yesterday was no different but at the same time was a turning point...Dad had a really, really bad day yesterday and when I went in to see him I got such a shock. Now I had 2 choices....to run out crying, which I used to do.....or deal with the situation.....I kinda did both. I stood and looked… Continue

Today is a new day...and I have given myself another goal....

...yeah, it's 09/09/09. Some people are not into that stuff, but I'm very open minded about everything, I'll give anyone and anything a chance. I made a decision when I woke up, that as from 09.09am on this day, I would stop feeling sorry for myself and make a bigger push than I usually do to motivate myself, and the next time this comes around will be on 10/10/10 and I intend to be living a completely different life then to what I am now, both inside and out. I had a really bad day yesterday.… Continue

Who else gets excited but more scared at the same time for the future?

As far back as I can remember, I have struggled each day I wake and breathe, my confidence, or rather lack of it, being the main reason. I have so many ideas and thoughts in my head about how I want to live my life, and then reality kicks in, and knocks me for six. It's like the old saying, taking 2 steps forward and 10 back. Getting motivated is such a problem for me, I try, oh god how I try to push myself each day, but seem to get nowhere. I do know how lucky I am, oh maaaaan I am one of the l… Continue

Running kind of gal.

O.k. it has been a while as always. I am a horrible person for writing anything and I am sure that Amanda has been shaking her head at me because I haven't submitted anything in a while. My life has been so very busy and I no longer know what to write about. I am not a very creative kind of gal (can't spell worth of beans thank goodness for spell check) but I manage to plug through it. My trainer told me that I have to start increasing my cardio to drop the body fat. Yes I know it is a must but… Continue

Symptoms and Causes of Knee Pain

Your knee joint is essentially four bones held together by ligaments. Your thighbone (femur) makes up the top part of the joint, and two lower leg bones, the tibia and the fibula, comprise the lower part. The fourth bone, the patella, slides in a groove on the end of the femur. Ligaments are large bands of tissue that connect bones to one another. In the knee joint, four main ligaments link the femur to the tibia and help stabilize your knee as it moves through its arc of motion. These include… Continue

When do you really feel at your best?

I have been thinking about this a little bit lately, and to be honest, I have days like most everyone else does, I have those days where I just feel like I don't have a best. With me its more like a constant smooth line on a graph with the odd spike in activity. Today I am trucking along and suddenly I just feel like everything I do is making sense. I know, most of you think that I am always on top of things, but in reality, I am a huge slacker..I am my own worst critic and enemy, I can tear my… Continue

So it would seem that this work schedule makes for lousy writing time

I know it sounds like a lame ass excuse, however, with the way things have been going, I just haven't felt the motivation to write. Like some of you lack motivation to work out ( as do I ), my writing requires me to feel inspired to share and be creative. The workload is crazy, I am always away from home lately, and its probably a good thing, I have to get things back in order at my house. I have still been smoke free, with many times being tempted to start again, i.e... weight gain, stress, la… Continue

Feeling old

I have so been feeling so old lately. Yep, I am getting back on track with my diet and also my workouts. I had two incredible workouts one for lower and one for upper and I feel incredible. All the other girls at my gym who train as intensely as I do are at least 6 years to 10 years younger. I don't know why it is bugging me but it is. Now my trainer said that I should be proud that I am the oldest one and that I work extremely hard and I look fantastic. I guess I am just realizing now that I am… Continue

Overindulgence

I have been on vacation for the past week and have been on the road travelling around northern Ontario and I tell you trying to find healthy eating sure isn't easy. Now it would have been a lot easier if I didn't have any kids then I would have some room in the Rav to pack a cooler with great eats and all would be well. I love my mom dearly but her cooking so fantastic I just can't stop with a little on my plate. The other part is that it is not exactly what I call clean eating as some of it is… Continue

So summer has officially arrived!!

It speaks volumes when I am quiet, and it is always a good thing because it means I have been reflecting alot and been in a good mood. I'll get the big ones out the way right here and now. 3 months smoke free, very content, in fact very happy with the way my life is working out for me right now. Job is good, I have been quite steady and active at work. Feels good to be busting my ass when this would be the time when I would be fishing or riding my motorcycle. Even still, without the job, I can… Continue
