I've been so absent
Just a note to myself and all my incredible wonderful and valuable T-friends, to acknowledge my recent behavior. It's so accurate to say that I've "been absent" as that is the opposite of "present" and that is exactly what I have been.It's a mix of emotions for me. Because on the one hand, I could easily go into a tirade of reasons that justify why I've had no time to think about or focus on Transformation. I have taken care of ...Week 5 Day 1
I'm committing to daily accountability. I've had some bumps in the road and letting them linger and take me off course for longer than necessary. Today I am grateful for focus and the engergy to go to the gym at 5am. Cardio: 40 min Nutrition:M1: Greek yogurt and granolaM2: Right lightM3: Chicken/pastaM4: Protein BarM5: EFL Tuna CasseroleM6:Right Light Progress: Strong start to a great day! Yours in transforma...Assignment 3-2010 Challenge
After careful consideration, I've become aware that my lowest level habit - the one which will most interfere with my future health and happiness is:Overeating and self-indulgence. Yes - I now hold the intention of being freed from the chains of my unhealthy habit! Knowing that if I were able to overcome this negative pattern on my own, I probably would have done it by now, I am asking for help from: God and my support network.&...Day 17 - 2010 Challenge

I wish I could report that I'm just 100% on and engaged in Transformation. That's where I want to be, so as I don't totally feel it, I know that I need to reflect on what is missing for me. I am here on T.com and have logged on every day, so that is a good thing. Week 1 was about 90%, not the 120% I would have hoped for. I got in 7 workouts. That sounds like a lot considering I didn't feel like I was making it. ...Assigment 1 - 2010 Challenge
Where are you now with your inner-state of being? HEART AND SOULThree values for my life, which I hold deep within my heart: 1 – All of us in the universe have more in common than we do different. We are all equally worthy and have contributions to make to the world. I am worthy and make worthwhile contributions with all that I do each and every day.2 – Being the best me that I can be, physically, mentally and spiritu...Day 2 - Jan 5 2010
Well I did weight training for lower body for the first time in a long time and I'm sure I will be feeling that within 48 hours.... I usually only experience one really serious bout of DOMS and then I'm ok as long as I keep training... which leads me to wonder why I ever stop! I'm also going back to the gym later for a 3mile run on the treadmill. I've decided to try adding some extra cardio for the winter months when I can't get outside. I'm...Challenge Day 1
I'm grateful for this new day and new challenge. It's cold here in NC today, but I overcame the voice in my head that told me staying warm in bed was better than working out, and I made it to the gym by 5:30am. Today was HIIT for me on the stairclimber.... I added 10 minutes on the elliptical for good measure. I will starting my assignments today. I have good, clean, nutritious food in the house and prepared dish...Just Checking In
First I just want to share my sincere gratitude to all of the people from T.com that have been so supportive to me as I’ve been working through a very difficult time in my life. Particularly Penny, JohnnyBoy, Jenn and all of the PAG and of course Roberta and so many others that believe in my strength when I can’t. Thank you. It’s truly been a blur and although I regret that I haven’t spent time on T.com partici...An Ah-Ha Moment
This is what I really love about staying connected on T.com. I keep discovering more and more about my journey and what all of us can be together. And it's so funny that when I think I really have it, "I don't", but then somehow it's revealed to me anyway..... Don't know if that made sense to anyone. In my last blog I talked about how I had given up control and here I am a few weeks later having an "ah-ha&quo...Holiday Challenge... HERE I COME!!
I've loved every day since I joined T.com. It's so exciting to keep seeing it get better and better. So much more than I ever imagined. I've decided not to complete a packet for my T2 transformation, not because I feel like I failed, because if I did I wouldn't still be here. I've grown in so many ways and I'm more "well" on a lot of levels. I'm going to take the next week to reflect on that for myself. The relationshi...So blessed
I just finished the Denver Half Marathon and the most amazing weekend of my life. Many, many thanks to all of the Transformation community in attendance, and all of you who couldn't be here, but were here in spirit. At a time in my life where I have been daily asking myself "how can I make it through this?" I found all of the energy and spirit and inspiration to know that there is no way that I won't make it through this.&nb...The Loss of My Sister
I consider many of you on this site family, and I very, very sadly need to share the news with you that my sister passed away suddenly this week. Her name was Patti, she just celebrated her 50th birthday in August and this earth with not be the same place without her presence. I'm so thankful that she was my sister and so thankful that during this transformation I became closer than ever with her. She is a true angel and I know she's ...I am so grateful
I just want to say that I feel so grateful today for all that I have in my life. I'm grateful for the relationships that I've forged here on T.com and all of the wealth and abundance of energy, love and inspiration that it has afforded me. I'm grateful for my new appreciation for life and my family and everyone that I encounter each day. I am definitely grateful for Bill and Coach and all of the champs and many other thought leader...I'm really not a jealous person...
But I've always had this real feeling of jealousy toward people who really know what they want. I know I'm impatient by nature and I'm really working to let this journey unfold itself for me, but I still have that feeling. I can remember it since I was young. I wished I wanted to "be something". I'm sure I could do it if I wanted it... like a doctor or a lawyer, or anything. I just never felt like something was calling me. A...Assignment 8 - T2 Lowest Level Habit
Assignment 8 was a break through assignment for me in Round 1. REALLY! It changed everything and it was so hard to accept!! This time it seems so evident to me what low level habit is holding me back "lack of follow through". I value myself, I plan and then somehow I get bored and I don't even realize I didn't finish what I started. So far with the Challenge, I haven't done that, at least not as far as the eating and ex...Assignment 7 - T2 Evironmental Change
I did a lot of the "easier" stuff as a part of assignment 7 in round 1. Throw out the bad food! Buy lots of gym clothes and keep them clean and ready to put on every morning.... etc. etc. I'm at a more difficult crossroad now with my environment and as I read assignment 7 that's what is really jumping out at me. The people that I associate with... are they the environment that is making me. It's not that easy to give up...Summing it up!
I haven't been posting an accountability blog lately. I may or may not get back to it in this round but I wanted to just check in and put some thoughts down on this week of the challenge.I feel - peace. Which is really awesome. Especially given the chaos that seems to constantly surround me. In the past I would have been seeking cover i.e. not answer the phone. But my new found grounding in life allows me to listen, be supportiv...Song for the day
I heard this song the other day and it really got me jazzed... I don't if any of you remember Ace of Bass... I need to add this to my ipod for running. I never noticed the line that goes "no one's gonna drag you up, to get into the light where you belong" Isn't that true!!I Saw The SignShock!I got a new lifeYou would hardly recognize meIm so gladHow can a person like me care for youWhy do I botherWhen youre not the one for m...Help! Am I in over my head?
Prior to accepting the challenge to run in the Denver Marathon, I had made a commitment to support the National MS Society by riding my bike in the MS 150 on September 12th and 13th. With the new found drive to serve that was stimulated by my T.com experiences, I jumped on this opportunity to combine by emerging healthy lifestyle with a contribution to such a worthy cause!Although I don't personally know anyone impacted by MS today, every h...dsmith4eva
