How are you with money? | Money & Health

January 11, 2011 get lean January 11, 2011

[side note: LOVE my hobo wallet and you can check them out here!] Suze Orman guest starred on The Biggest Loser a few seasons back and admitted that she can pick the winners by their FICO score!! What?! Think about it!! The way you are with money is a huge predictor of how you are with food and exercise!!!  If you look at my past, you’ll see the same patterns for me!  My goal with money is to pay off debt…ugh! The dreaded American debt. Confession: It’s a huge source of embarrassment that we have any but we’re working hard to pay it off.  In the past though, I’d go on a really strict budget…reasoning that with debt I don’t deserve to buy anything! But, ...

what’s the truth? | Unairbrushed Photos of Models

November 8, 2010 eating disorders November 8, 2010

I found this when looking through old drafts for a post! I wrote this on January 9 and never posted it!!!  The only problem is that I lost the youtube videos. :( So here it is…. This was on the news this morning [January 9, 2010].  She’s former Miss Universe in 2004, Jennifer Hawkins.  Reportedly the airbrushing would have retouched the “crease” (not a roll) on her waist and a “dimple” on her thigh (which I cannot find).  She obviously has to work extremely hard to stay in great shape and it’s nice to see how she actually looks!  She looks perfect to me, even unairbrushed.  Just my opinion.  She doesn’t need airbrushing and I’m glad she didn’t have any. Personally, whenever I see a ...

eating disorders | how close is the line with dieters?

November 2, 2010 eating disorders November 2, 2010

image source As you know, eating disorders is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. I have said before that the bodybuilding world is very close to or is in some way intertwined with eating disorders. And, I have often wondered where the line is with many of us who seem obsessed with our bodies, even if it doesn’t reach the definition of an eating disorder. The definition of anorexia nervosa actually includes the weight of the individual yet it is a psychological disorder. I am glad that the many definitions and categories of eating disorders are growing!  I think EDs come in many shapes and sizes of individuals and many different forms of suffering. I read many healthy living blogs and ...

love yourself | I gained 5 [er..10] lbs, so what?

October 18, 2010 beauty October 18, 2010

I am sorry I have been an absent blogger the last few days…I’ve been enjoying my life! :) I took this photo while I was outside the other day taking photos.  I was admiring my curves and my booty!  I was noticing how my weight gain since the competition had been different than before and was admiring my lower half! :) I am so grateful for this time of my life. I’ve been saying that for years and hopefully I will say that every day for the rest of my life.  I feel like I have the best part of my life still ahead. I was not feeling so grateful during my competition prep because I just wanted to be propelled to after the comp ...

introspection | why am I blogging?

October 14, 2010 update October 14, 2010

I am all about introspection. I think that’s what life is about.  If you search this blog for “journey” you’ll probably find 100′s of hits b/c I talk about my journey through life all the time.  If you’re new here, I’ll tell you….I believe that life is a journey and it’s all about what you learn along the way. I am constantly learning, throughout every day. I ask questions. I love wise people. I read a lot. I learn from TV. I learn what I want to be and don’t want to be.  I try to be better.  I try not to screw up.  But I am human and I do and I LEARN from it. Where am I going with this? I want to ...
