Invisibility
A condition that prohibits your beauty from being revealed
It’s like standing seven feet tall but behind a wall
It’s like standing in a circle of ignorance where being ignored is bliss
Bliss…ster as in pain and scarred by your very own invisibility
Created and designed by yours truly
It’s up to you to shine through and the force the world to revel in your beauty.

I am doing very well these days.  Now that I am 100% happy because of my relocation to Southern California from the eaast coast, I don’t depend on food so much.  I’ve been drinking a lot of water (about 6-8 serv) each day effortlessly because of the heat and that’s what I actually CRAVE!  I’ve never been one to crave water– I used to crave the sugary stuff- anything but water.  I weigh 225 lbs at 5′4" now– down from 228 lbs.

It’s Saturday, August 25 and I sit in SBs finally updating my blog!  I made the big move from Boston to Southern California and am grateful that I arrrived safely.  I’ve been meeting awesome God-fearing folks which is especially encouraging.  I just initiated a 14 day trial membership with 24 hr Fitness and am psyched!  Until next time,

Can’t believe it has been almost 20 days since I’ve posted!  I hatched open my dusty daily food/exercise journal only to notice that I hadn’t logged in five days!  So I really have to pause and ask why is that?  I’ve been stressed like CRAZY!  I’m relocating more than 3,000 miles (from east to west coast) to follow my dreams, my heart, and my intuition- besides my steps are ORDERED!  So how do I allow this to sidetrack my fitness goals?  It’s because I’ve been so stressed about this move!!  If you’re reading this and you can offer some words of support- please DO!  This is my first big move and it’s affecting me.  So moving forward I will continue steadfastly towards my fitness goals and when I get stressed- I shall pray!  And ask God to share in my load- we’ll take turns carrying it!  Thanks for reading

Today (technically yesterday) was quite stressful!  Regarding my goals, I fell off track around lunch time as I was relying on the food at a luncheon.  The selections were so poor- basically salad and shrimp!  I’m deathly allergic to shrimp so that was out of the question!  The salad was wilted, already dressed, and tasted horrible.  I had had a cup of coffee (w/skim) and a bowl of oatmeal (w/ 1% milk) for breakfast which was my saving grace.  After losing ground with that lunch I barely stayed on schedule.  My day was so busy!!!  On the bright side, I got to hear Bill Gates speak at this year’s Harvard commencement exercises as well as see Bill Russell (Celtics) and a whiole slew of VIPs.  Very cool and inspiring- it just took a toll on my eating habits for the day.  And I got home at 12 am– too late to hit the gym.  This is ok though I’ll hit the gym tomorrow and will stick to plan then.  How do you all manage to stay on track when chaos and busyness come into the picture?  Especially those of you with families or multiple demands?  Any advice?
