What muscles have you used today?

My friends cannot believe how much healthier I look. I was having more problems walking and the strength in my arms and hands had diminished. I decided to not only look at what I was eating, but also thought about how I really was not using my muscles. I found myself spending most of my time in front of a computer. “You lose what you don’t use”, and it was certainly becoming a reality for me. I started using old empty gallon containers and filling them up with water to slowly build up my strength.

I became inspired and actually ordered an exercise program called P90X! Some thought I was crazy because I have MS, but my indomitable spirit refused to let that stop me!

Is your ‘train’ on time?

What is going into your mouth?

Garbage in, garbage out. I wanted to share an article with you. It made me think about what it is that I’m eating and why. Am I hungry? Am I bored? Do I need a warm and fuzzy feeling inside that I feel only food can satisfy?

Just listen :D

Here’s an article I came across and wanted to share. This article contains a lot of good resources and that’s what this blog is all about, giving you resources to make your life easier!

Breathing is the essence of life. We would not survive

Without change, there can be no growth

A journey of 1,000 miles…begins with a single step…

I have always had a dream. Similarly to Dr. Martin Luther King. I have always judged those around me by the content of their character. I grew up in the ‘hood’ and my options were slim. I dated my share of drug dealers and ultimately I had to drop out of college because I was homeless.

How do you stop it?

I’m asked time and time again…How do I stop the brain chatter?

I’m finding that the ‘one size fits all’ solution does not exist! ‘Different strokes for different folks’ as saying goes. I can relate because I have not found just one technique that works for me EVERY time either. I’ll be addressing this topic from several different angles. Today, let’s look at the mind. The mind has a job. As I’ve discussed in other blogs, it’s job is to think.
