Random thoughts from a scoliosis warrior & recovering alcoholic. Welcome to my winsome, spiritual & humourous world.

Lethargic & lazy and all I could see was a future of getting larger, lazier & less healthy. I saw a future that I wanted no part of. So I made a single change to my daily routine.

That one change, changed everything! It helped me reduce the amount of sugar & fat I was eating, improved my digestion, calmed my aches & increased my energy. Now at 48 I can honestly say that I'm in the best shape of my life...and getting better!

You may try to destroy me but you will fail!

Today I add Rheumatoid Arthritis to my repertoire of challenges.

It's ok to be blue sometimes. It's ok to be fearful of what lies ahead. It's ok to shut down every now and then. Just don't get stuck there. Take some time then get up, get dressed and kick some ass!

"Keep your face always towards the sunshine, and the shadows will fall behind you."—M. B. Whitman

I'm still here. Still kicking ass and taking names! So many things have tried to destroy me and they have all failed. This new challenge will be no different. I am a warrior!

Sobriety. Why is it such a struggle for me? I know people who are sober and say that they don't even think about it anymore. Why is it that I think about it daily? I fight it everyday. Most days I win but there are days that I don't. Regardless, I will never give up. Every day I pick up my sword and fight.

My fiance and I have come a long way. Making our health and wellness a priority and giving our bodies premium fuel is really paying off!
