Funny how things suddenly become clear to you, as though a fog has lifted. I’ve been in a fog of sorts for quite some time, a sugar fog. Only recently has this dense, gray world begun to disappear. I’ve finally come to a place where I feel confident I can stand up to and prevail [...]

I’m a singer. I think I can safely say that because I love to sing, I get asked to sing, and I even get paid to sing. Now, as to whether or not I am an outstanding singer is a matter of opinion. I believe I have ways to go before (or if) that can [...]

Self-Discipline After the Holidays Did you enjoy the holidays? I relaxed a bit, at least where exercising and watching what I eat are concerned. The problem is, I can get used to this indulgent, “lazy” lifestyle rather quickly, and I find it difficult returning to the more disciplined routine. I truly enjoy exercising and...... -

I sit too much. This is partly due to my job, largely due to blogging, and mostly because it’s my own fault! Sitting all day actually makes me tired! I also dread the Numb Bum Syndrome and the infamous “Blogger’s Butt.” I believe my body craves and needs to move. Nothing like a walk outside [...]

- This Week's Progress Report I had an "interesting" week, as far as eating and exercising go.
