A Glimpse Into My Life

St. Patrick’s Day

Let me start off by saying, I am not Irish. My parents are not Irish. My grandparents are not Irish. In fact, based upon the family history that has been done, I don’t think I have an Irish ancestor over the past 7 generations. So, when it comes to St. Patrick’s Day I...

You May Never Be Whole

Death is a natural part of our existence. It is as essential as birth. We will all be impacted at some points in our life with the passing of someone we know or love. Despite those facts, death still affects each of us in ways we may never imagined. The thing about...

What’s Really Important

It’s so easy to overlook things in our lives and take for granted those who love and care for us. We get so caught up in whatever the drama of the day is. A bad day at work, someone cutting you off in traffic, the garbage man skipping your can; all of these have the...

Making the Transition Day 4

Since reaching my weight loss goal I have shifted from the weight loss portion of my journey to health to a maintenance mode. In order to go from fat burning to maintenance means that I have a transition period where I will begin to add back in calories and foods that...

Eggs-tra Special Holiday – Transition Day 3

I’m not exactly sure when Easter morphed from a religious holiday to becoming one centered around a giant rabbit that hides colorful eggs around the house for children to find or that leaves baskets full of goodies in his wake. These baskets of Easter treats are...

First Pete Then Repeat- Transition Day 2

One of the most interesting aspects of my weight loss journey has been people’s reaction when they see me for the first time in a while. The groups of people fall into two distinct categories. The first group attempts to be nonchalant about their observation not...
