I have been working out with a trainer since April 2, 2015. It's been a big commitment and I feel stronger and active. I weigh 300 Lbs so it has been no small feat to keep this body moving and I have lost weight BUT before anyone starts patting me on the back I have a confession to make. …
Old Dreamers
This is a note to myself and others like me: underachievers, those with gifts who believe they haven't fulfilled their potential, those who have been writing a book, play, or dissertation, making a movie, recording a CD, going to a comedy open mic, opening a restaurant, going back to school and haven't done it yet.

So I have decided to look at the same project, goals and dreams as a process, and lay them out in small but …
The Adventures of Permanent Lifestyle Change Girl – Oops.
Oops. My bad. On March 22 I posted about my plans to get into shape for my NYC club debut at City Winery NY on July 2. I must be accountable, even if it is to cyberspace. And now it's time to check in. I worked at it. Lost quite a few pounds and then ... well, I reckon I just plum forgot. I reckon I just didn't give a damn for a few weeks. I think it was watching myself on video that prompted my last weight related post. Today's post was prompted by my condition after some walking I did …
