I am deeply rested. And I confused it with being unmotivated, blue, unsure how to move forward. Being unmotivated doesn't even sound or feel like me. But it has been a very challenging 4+ months - personally and professionally.

The way you know it is really doing its job is to asses the line of projection. Stand facing the mirror with your arms at your [...]
I was appalled and disgusted by last night's Biggest Loser Season 14 show. I stopped watching this show a long time ago because of the abuse the trainers lay on the show's contestants. I have never pushed a client so far as to sustain an injury and I have never dropped an F bomb in their presence. [...]
1995 - Fit and Fat. That's what I stood for. As a member of the board of NAAFA (National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance) I believed no one should be discriminated against when it came to movement.
