This was the week of the meme's. I was tagged by Weight Ladder to do a 6-word memoir. I had actually completed this meme in the past, but no worries. My "profound" words are still there for all to see. 
JoLynn at The Fit Shack tagged me with a "4 Things"- themed meme, and some of the questions really made my brain work. I hope I won't be graded on this. I need a nap now.
4 Jobs I've Had
- Library - shelving books (I could often be found reading the books when I should have been shelving them.)
- Grocery store - produce department (Wash your produce before eating - dirt, bugs, filthy hands all touch the fruits and veggies.)
- Dermatologist's office (Wear sunscreen!)
- Hospital, Labor and delivery - Need I say more?
All were great experiences, and I learned from each.
What are 4 ways you know you are living your life's purpose?
- I feel at peace
- I feel inspired/energetic/productive
- I am met with few obstacles; doors just open; results happen
- I "just know" - call it intuition/that inner voice/conscious
What are 4 things you do to take really good care of yourself?
- I try to exercise and eat healthy on a regular basis
- Continually learn and be open to new experiences
- Maintain closeness with my family; keep my marriage a priority
- Grow in my spiritual life
What are the 4 events that have most formed how you live your life today?
- Going off to college
- Joining the military
- Meeting my husband
- Marrying my husband
And I couldn't leave out my parents. That answer may not be specific to one event, but my life has definitely been shaped by my parents and how they raised me.
What are 4 things you do to keep your motivation up to work out and eat healthy every day?
Well, I don't exercise and eat healthy every day, even though that certainly would be the ideal. Motivation-wise, I keep it up by focusing on improving my overall health, as well as increasing my fitness so I can be stronger, faster, more agile, and flexible. Also, my motivation gets a boost for vanity reasons as well. I like to look my best as well as feeling my best!
Name 4 people who have been the most influential in motivating you to change your eating and exercise habits.
I don't have specific persons in mind. I would say those who are fit, healthy, and toned inspire me, whether they are friends, family, fitness trainers, or other bloggers. Hearing stories about how exercise and eating clean improve health and overall quality of life, as opposed to the negative consequences of being sedentary and eating junk, definitely inspire me to work on my habits.
What are your 4 reasons for staying off refined sugar and white flour?
Sugar makes me moody, lethargic, foggy, and craving for more sugar. Plus, sugar offers no nutrition, is harmful to the body, and makes weight gain way too easy. These, in a nutshell, are the reasons I want to get off and stay off sugar! (Can I get extra credit for the additional reasons?)
List 4 ways that blogging has helped you either attain or maintain a higher level of health and fitness.
- It keeps me accountable.
- Blogging about health pushes me to learn more about it.
- Blogging has exposed me to many fantastic blogs with great info and ideas regarding health and fitness.
- Through blogging I have met amazing people who inspire me. This is one of my favorite aspects of blogging, connecting with other people. That truly makes it worth while.
So there you have it! All you wanted to know about Susan, and more!
Hey, if you'd like to take up this meme, consider yourself tagged. The rules are simple:
- Link to the person who tagged you
- Post the rules on your site
- Answer the questions and share your "4 things."
- Tag 4 random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs, if you wish
- Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

I hear you on the temptation to read in the stacks. It’s probably what I feel guiltiest about at work, even if I don’t do it often.
You joined the military?! Wow.
Totally guilty of reading (mostly blogs) at work:)
Sagan,
Yes, ma’am; I joined the Air Force. I’m back to civilian life now, but I don’t regret my joining for a minute! The experiences I had and the people I met were incredible!
I lovelove the behind the scenes o’the blogger tags!
