I HAVE MOVED!!

Hey Superstars!!

I've moved to The Gist of Fit! Please come over and visit!

It's all about healthy, balanced, intuitive eating, and a few more tricks to help you get to or maintain your weight...or just live a happy, stress free healthy life!

Health should'n be stressful--if it is, something's gotta change! See ya at the Gist of Fit!

Look out World! Here I come!

I have so much umph in me right now!
I want to do so many things
Change the world
Be good at everything!
Be independent so I don't have to ask my sister to do all my graphic design work one day.

I want to shout the poem I just wrote and think that everyone loves it!

I am psycho enough to be writing this while cooking Southwestern Chicken at the same time...one sec, onions burning..

Now I just put one of my ear buds in to listen to the rest of one of my favorite podcasts, Fat Burning Man...but that's getting a little excessive. Breathe....

I can' wait for my hub to walk in and say, "MMMM!!! That's amazing!!! What is that smell?!!"

But what I really want to say is I'm glad I talked to my friend Elizabeth Sanders today...she is first one that has blown the my little fire of curiosity I have in changing the world. She said...just do it. Just be yourself, don't mind what audience you are writing to...just write as if you were talking, and people will read it.

So I'm gonna test it. One thing you'll find out about me is I love challenging myself to do hard things. And I love sticking through with it! So here I go! My first big step at changing the world and eventually using my awesome last name and first name to turn people's heads and inspire them to get healthy, achieve their goals, and try new things to make life fun! And...just be happy overall. No matter what.

I commit to write every day for 2 weeks. Then I will see if everyday is good....and I will ask someone if I can be hosted on the wall.

Boom! Here I go!

Coming up soon!

I want to find a way to teach people how to listen to their body.

How to make decisions about eating sugar super easy and guilt free.

Basically, how to be free!!

What is happy and healthy??

I am happy and healthy!

What does that mean anyway? It may mean something different for you, but here's my take, in the shortest amount of words possible.

Happy- I always enjoy SOMETHING about my day. And I am always LOOKING FORWARD to something in the near future!

In other words, I am grateful. And I have hope. Try it out!!

Healthy-  It's easy for me to move! I have energy. I am free from addictions, even sugar addictions. I am in TOTAL CONTROL of what I eat. I feel free!! Do you want to feel that way too?!

I want to help YOU get to the point that I am at. Why? Because it's SO easy. If I did it, so can you!

I was once stuck in an awful, exhausting cycle of poor health. I constantly thought and worried about my weight. I hated the 'inter-tube' planted around my waste, that got in the way when I bent over. I was always making goals to lose 15 lbs, always mad at myself for succumbing to temptation. With my worry and constant goal making, guess how much weight I lost during that time! NONE! All that desire to be healthy never came to pass. All the stress and depression and guilt for nothing! I didn't think I could ever get to my goal weight. I didn't think I could ever resists desserts, or 'happiness.' I assumed it wasn't possible.

The good news is, I got over it. And i want to show you how!

On this blog I will be posting my 'philosophies' to health. I will also show you my "Simple Days of Health," meaning what I eat, and how I think.  I hope this will help you in your journey to health, so you can enjoy the freedom I have enjoyed for years!

One more thing about me. I know weight is the only indicator of good health, but I'll give you an idea of what I'm like. I am 5'9" and 128 lbs. I used to be STUCK at 145 lbs. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't not get under it! My highest weight was 155. I lost that over roughly 18 months, until I was at 130 lbs. So I lost 25 lbs. I have kept the weight off for 4 years now! And I've never thought or worried or hassled so LITTLE about my health than I do now.

So let's get going and I'll show you how I've done it! Good luck and I hope you enjoy the journey!
