Getting Healthy

Well, here we are, sitting at the steps of the second half of the second chapter. Things I have accomplished: I have worked out, in some way, every day. Because I am very easily bored, working out is really hard for me. I’ve tried gym memberships (I never go), yoga (okay for about 10 minutes, [...]

This week: No guilt. None. Just facts. School: I had a pretty short week, as far as finals go, and it wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected. Was it easy? No. Not in the least. But it was merciful. Monday was the worst and I froze during my Art History final, which means I’ll [...]

What has two thumbs and joined a gym last Friday? If you answered “a Michelle in Seattle” you would be absolutely correct! I ended up joining a nice little place that requires no contracts, is easy on the budget, is close to home AND includes personal training. Their selection of classes looks pretty rad as [...]

{Routine Update: I’m changing my goals after hearing about how stretching in the morning can do more damage than good. I’ll update you next week- but the Miracle Ball Method is working!!! I’m not in nearly as much pain as I have been, and I’m a much happier camper.} The past week I’ve been battling [...]

Wow, these weeks just fly by. Why do I always forget how fast they go??? Anyway, this week was fucking TRIUMPHANT. I am so proud of myself. I had a huge final project due for my movement class, a 15-minute solo piece. I come from a dance background, but this wasn’t about dance, it was [...]

While sorting out some family type concerns, realizing I don’t have much direction at the moment career-wise (mostly due to the realization that I CAN DO ANYTHING *gasp*) as well as shoveling the money from my savings into car repairs and debating how much I should take people’s opinions about what I should and should [...]

I think the most noteworthy thing about the past week was the blessed 4 days of rest & recovery than Thanksgiving weekend brought.  After a 10 day work stint, on top of everything else, that long weekend was much needed. I realized this week that I didn’t pack (in an accessible place) the cords to [...]

Hey there, guys and dolls. Sorry this post is coming a little late; it’s been a strange week for me.  I’ve been out for Thanksgiving break all week, but there hasn’t been much festivity, as my family waits until tonight and tomorrow to have our big turkey-day shindig.  The little window of opportunity that I [...]

First, I just want to thank ALL of you who commented on my first post (silly me, I forgot to reply) giving me ideas and encouragement. It’s so much appreciated. I’m looking forward to conquering some of these battles knowing that the readers have experience and can relate. I’ll definitely be taking everything into consideration. [...]
