Growing up, I was skinny and tall like a beanpole. It wasn’t until I turned 17 or so and went on the depo provera shot that made me gain about 50 pounds – and fast! Since then, I have struggled with yoyo weight loss. At 17 I was 105, then 155 after the shot. For…

Unfortunately for me, my cultural heritage wasn’t really talked about growing up (or not that I really remember anyways-another story for another blog as to why I don’t have many childhood memories). I know there is Native American and Scottish on my maternal grandfather’s side. On my father’s side, I have traced family history back…

The brand I most associate with going right off the top of my head would be Planet Fitness. I am not the greatest at going as often as I should, but it is always there for me when I want to! LOL The monthly membership is reasonable and I love the amenities. Massage chairs, tanning…

In the past I have not taken very good care of myself and ignored my medical issues (and I have a LOT). Now that I am in my mid-40s, I can’t ignore things anymore.

I wasn’t really fond of today’s writing prompt, so I shuffled through some previous ones and this one just about reached out of the monitor and grabbed my heart! It was: “can you imagine a life with no music?” No music! I can’t even! I grew up listening to all kinds of music between my…

As I sit at my desk at work and find myself falling asleep again, I check the clock. Yep, sure enough, it is just past 2 p.m. Every day, this is an issue. I wonder why it happens. I’ve been told it is what I eat. I changed that and don’t overeat and eat healthy…

My favorite food is definitely red meat of pretty much any kind. Prime rib, medium rare is my favorite. However, with high cholesterol and high blood pressure I have to limit my red meat intake. Prime rib is reserved to maybe twice a year – my birthday and Christmas. There is just something about the…

Is it just me, or are there way more people living with a sense of entitlement these days? I encounter far too many people who think they are owed everything they want without ever having to work for it. I think it stems from too many parents giving kids everything they want growing up without…
