I was afraid. I *am* afraid. I said yes.

It's funny the assumptions we make about people based upon how they look. Hell, given the photo above, even I would assume there's nothing 'outside the comfort-zone' for that tattooed, tutu'ed, always disheveled, pretty damn comfortable in her own skin misfit mama. Yet I was reminded yesterday no matter how far I think Ive come (yes, people that is foreshadowing for tomorrows post. and ... Continue Reading

Im LOYAL to my Lebert Equalizer (giveaway)

People, whether we wanna admit it or not, we fitness-types are a fickle fickle bunch.

I'm as guilty as any of us and have found, all too frequently, that the next great thing is, well, JYZE'y. Promises the world & is ... Continue Reading

Jackie Warner says…

by

in response to our winner MESSYMIMI's question of: Once you have reached one goal, how do you not sit on your laurels and get yourself geared up to reach another? Self-esteem comes from setting small daily goals and achieving them. I like to set one large long-term goal and then several easy short term goals that are attainable. When it comes to health and fitness, good short ... Continue Reading

Yom Kippur

by

Today I am atoning. Today I am reflecting. Today I am looking back on all I’ve done over the past year & reaching out to those I have wronged. Today I am even more grateful than usual for all I have & even more saddened than normal by all I have lost since last Yom Kippur. Today I am thankful for having the freedom to worship openly and how I choose. ... Continue Reading

How to get sponsored for conferences.

by

Check this brand ambassador out! Dizclaimer: This is what Ive found works for me and is in no way a definitive primer on how to secure sponsorship.

I am a right angle.

by

(and a disheveled right angle at that. The sports-bra? foreshadowing tomorrow's post.) I laugh that when I shared the title-sentiment with my sister her response was oooh you are so a writer! I love how you phrased that. Alas, I may be a writer but this is not an example of why or how. I am quite literally a right angle and have been for a few weeks. Hence the lack of Look at me! Im ...

Yes ... Continue Reading

GIVEAWAY POST!!

Subtitle: Bait & switch? You decide. A week or so ago on twitter I posted the following tweet. (and, were I far more skilled at computercrap than I am, the below would be a screen-shot not a retyped version): Dont we all have giveaways every day on our blogs? FREE CONTENT! I received back about three tweets of agreement. Two, when I asked if I could repost the tweets here, ... Continue Reading
