You’re in a new decade, congrats!
My Weight Watchers leader, I finally hit the 180s on the WW scale even though I’ve danced with it lately at home. I’m 0.8 away from a 15lb weight loss since starting Weight Watchers!
Quotes
I’m not hitting on you or anything, but have you lost weight? You look great.
Guy friend. Thaaaaaaaaanks. I’m making a conscious effort to eat better and change up my workouts.
I’m not vain. I’m just recovering from years and years of low self-esteem.

The Australian trainer from my Body Pump “Pump and Burn” DVD. I can’t get her voice saying it out of my head along with the Celine Dion song “Drove All Night” that plays during this segment of the workout.
Perhaps some of us are meant to move around every few years, change jobs and live many different micro lives.
I don’t care if you like me or not, I have enough friends.
One of my head student leaders wrote me a sweet thank you note and included this gem that I said to him when we started working together last year!
How does it feel to know you’re everything I need
The butterflies in my stomach
They could bring me to my knees
How does it feel to know you’re everything I want
I’ve got a hard time saying this
So I’ll sing it in a song

Great show last night, I loved sharing one of my favorite musicians and lyricists with T. My favorite quote of the night however goes to T who said he wasn’t ”emu” and I died laughing and said I think you mean “emo.”
If you measure it, you will manage it.

I had the opportunity to hear StrengthFinder author, Tom Rath, speak yesterday at my campus and I was part of a small group that had dinner with him after.
Tom does a lot of research for Gallup and his grandfather co-created the StrengthFinder assessment. Tom’s work mostly revolves around positive psychology and well being.
His new book is called “Eat, Move, Sleep” and talks about how small choices can lead to big changes. http://www.eatmovesleep.org/
During dinner Tom talked a bit about the surge of fitness trackers and how he thinks it’s a good thing. He said the quote above and it REALLY struck me. I mean hello my mantra for the past 4 years has been “measuring life.”
When weigh in, track my workouts, blog, etc I am always better off. Yesterday was a great reminder and motivator.
Why are there so many tattoos now? Some of it is clearly a statement of individuality, or a love of art, symbol and story. But those of us who wonder should remember that while a few are tattooed for shock value, many are just using their bodies to tell us stories, to share emotions. They’re wearing their pain, their loss, their hopes, their values, their dreams and fantasies
Great post from a Doctor about the popularity of tattoos http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2014/08/consider-messages-tattoos-sending.html
The best feeling in the world is knowing your presence and absence both mean something to someone.
