So today I wanted to run 3 miles. I have found it very frustrating that after taking only a week off, my legs are just full of protests! Like crazy, mad "I-don't-want-to-run-and-and-you-can't-make-me-protests!
Tomorrow we will be getting up and running at a lovely 6 am. I like to get it out of the way and start the day fresh. But I can tell you today I really want more. I see so many women that are just overweight and flat out fat and I feel so sad because its almost like the "world" is out there trying to get us to believe that its ok to be 20,30, or even 50 lbs. over weight. I know it is not. For me, just being the weight that I am I DOUBLE the chances of getting the adult onset diabetes. DOUBLE. Now you should understand, I don't think that being fat makes me or you less valuable. I don't think that the fat should be defining who and what I am as a woman--or even what I can accomplish. I know the fat CAN define or limit what I can accomplish, because there are days I feel like crap and that is just that! There are days I cannot run another step and I should be able to, I do listen to my body, but I want to push myself as well.

M. Leaym-FernandezHey, I am a wife, a mom, a teacher, a wellness activist, and connecting all my parts together--I am an artist! I worry about what women are doing to themselves. Gaining weight, not having balance in life, letting the stress destroy our bodies. This blog is going to be full of stories, ideas, and whatevers that I find to help women not end up like the women in the movie "walli" fat, unable to move, unable to work, unable to live. I want to share my struggles, my story. Archives
