September 3, 2012 by

What are you committed to that you will move heaven and earth to make sure it happens?  Your kids, your spouse, your job?  When we are interested in an activity, invitation, or task, we see if it easily slots it into our busy schedule.  When we are COMMITTED, we go to great lengths to rearrange our schedule […]

2 Busy 2 Pee – REALLY??

September 3, 2012 by

As a coach, I always get a little chuckle when I hear “I am just too busy to pee some days”.  Usually the first words out of my mouth are, “Oh, so you just pee in your pants?  That really is far more efficient than taking two minutes to use the restroom”.  Of course, the […]

“Give me liberty, or give me death” Patrick Henry I realize this quote is a bit dramatic.  But for me, it symbolizes that if I didn’t become liberated from my addiction to junk food, diet and faux health foods that the line “give me death” would be happening far sooner that it should.   While […]

As a Labor and Delivery/Postpartum Nurse, and a mom of a 15 month old, I’m well aware that every pregnancy is different. At week 4, I was bound and determined to make this pregnancy different from my first.  I wasn’t going to get fat! I had gained fifty pounds with my daughter, Remington, and held […]

When I spoke to Courtney this week, I told her that I struggled every month with writing about my journey.  I said that I really didn’t know what I was supposed to write.  Her reply really opened my eyes and made this part of the journey much easier.  She said, “You aren’t supposed to write […]

When I do not plan my food out as I head out the door, I am assuming that the Future Me will somehow have more time, be more thoughtful, more relaxed, and have more resources than the Now Me does. We all know it doesn’t work that way. We all know that the Future Me […]

HOW WE ROLL: Coach Nettie Bell

As a (non traditional) college student, my days are primarily filled with college classes, and studying.  Because it had been almost 30 years since I was in a school setting, it took some time for me to get into the swing of things.  I was a hairdresser/personal trainer/strength coach for almost 25 years, so when […]

“The person who masters himself through self-control and discipline is truly undefeatable” ~ Buddha I read this quote recently and it struck me just how true it is.  I think these may be my new words to live by.  First, it tells me that all the hard work I’ve done over the past 15 months […]

We have all been there; learning something new can be challenging to say the least.    For some, the learning curve is short and sweet, for others, it can be a struggle for what seems like an eternity.   I remember when I first fell in love with horses and riding.  So many things to keep track […]
