Why I Post To Facebook

I know I update my Facebook a lot. Lately, I update a lot about my diet, exercise, progress and so on (and Gary Allan lyrics thrown in for good measure). I do this for one reason....it keeps my motivated. I have people tell me I am an inspiration and a motivator, which I love to hear, but truth is there are days I feel like anything but those things. So, I know if I put it on Facebook, I will do it. Like today this morning I posted that I planned to go to the gym and to zumba. Will since I put it out there in the open, I would feel like a failure or that I let someone down if I didn't do both, so I did both.

I post my accomplishments too. Not to brag or to have someone say "Oh wow, you're doing great!" but because I am proud. I'm a fat girl. I didn't get this way because I like to eat healthy and exercise. Truth is most days I hate it. I hate to run. I hate to run more than anything in this world... more than the color orange, more than meatloaf, more crickets... Today, I ran. I ran for 5 minutes straight. I did a mile in 12 minutes. 12 minutes! A month ago, I was doing a 24 minute mile. You know what, I still hate running, but when I accomplish something, I am proud. I like people to brag on my accomplishments. But mostly, to stay motivated I celebrate EVERY accomplishment. You can celebrate with me, or hide me.

*On a side note, I know have 8 followers. If you want to make me extremely happy, let's up my follower number. No you won't get a cool prize, no one pays me for this crap, so I have nothing to give away. However if you click follow, I will personally give you a hug or a high five next time I see you in public, whichever you prefer.

Let's get some things straight

First thing's first, don't think I will type something every day, I won't. Secondly, apparently some folks think I am not happy. That is totally not the case. I know I did at one point in my post last night refer to this point in my life as a "season of sadness". I did not mean necessarily mean I am sad and you should feel sorry for me (or offer up your advice on finding a man). This year has sucked. And it has nothing to do with a man. I am content as I am. It took me 30 years to like myself and the person I am and I will not start feeling sorry for myself again. Yes, there are times it would be nice to have a man. It would be nice to have a relationship, someone to spend time with, and someone to share life with. However, I know what I want. I know what I don't. And I know what I will not settle for. I will not settle for less than what I want or less than what I deserve. I would rather be alone and unhappy than in a relationship and mi

Motivation Monday

This a story of two very different girls. This is the first girl... Hot Springs 2012 Nashville July 2012 CMA Fest June 2012 Nashville 2012 July 2012 Christmas 2012 She is 26 years old and is a third grade teacher. She enjoys buying shoes, going out to eat, going to musicals and going to Nashville (a lot). She has a pretty good life. She drives a sweet red Mustang (with pink interior lights) and has the best friends a girl could want. She is a funny girl and has big dreams. She believes your only as old as you feel and she still feels like a kid. She loves pink and sparkly things. She never meets a stranger and could talk to anybody. But that is what she wants you to see. She wants you to see her with a smile on her face and she wants to see all the fun she has. She doesn't want you to know that inside, she isn't happy. She isn't satisfied and she is disgusted with herself. She knows something has got to give. She is tired of feel

So Are You A Fly Strip For Dysfunctional Men?

I think back to the Fourth of July weekend of this year. Allison and I went to the lake with Britni and her family. As we were living Greers Ferry we stopped at Large Mouth Pizza. Almost right about the table we were sitting at was fly paper. You know the sticky strip of paper flies get caught in? I now know more than I probably should about them fly paper. You pull this sticky paper out of a little canister and it hangs from the ceiling. There this sticky stuff that will stay sticky despite exposure to the air and whatnot. There's this stuff on there that attracts the flies and once they touch they paper, they're stuck. There's also poison on the strip that kills the fly, but that doesn't really work for the analogy I'm about to use. I'm not really sure how I find the guys I do. But if they have a tick, bad habit, disorder, something like that I will find them, or well they will find me. Apparently I'm like fly paper. I apparently attract t
