Burn baby, burn!
Saturday, May 9th 2009
Stop, drop and burn. Nothing but nothing stops the workout. A forum topic has lead me to this entry. Halftheman pondering why someone can't workout without a gym and a member challenge - Up your minutes - organized by SMREXRO (Sarah).I love exercise. I love intense, sweat dripping, face flushed, heart pounding, muscle failing, "OMG, can I do this?", exercise and I can find it any time, any where. But, let's face it, how much of that high intense exercise can a person do? I...
memories

as I contemplate the road I have traveled and the trials encountered along the way, I recall the worst times and the best of times.The worst comment ever made to me was when I attempted one of many starts to lose weight. I joined a local gym. As I stood outside the personal trainers door, waiting for my turn to be weighed and measured, two young punk-a$$ kids, all beefed up from pumping iron, walk by.

"This might be it" What else can I do, but to have faith and to never give up. One...

The 10 in 10 challenge ends today. I was not successful at losing the 10 lbs I committed too; however, a good time was had by all. I met some amazing people. I've glimpsed into their lives and allowed them into mine.I have the hardest time letting go. When I sell a car, move, change jobs, losing a loved one or friend though death or lifes transition. Whenever something ends, it just seems so....final. Even when the past is filled with pleasant memories and the future is bright and pr...
