That’s exactly what my week — last few weeks, maybe even month — has felt like…

but, keep on keeping on is my motto…

Change of plans…doing absolutely NOTHING!
I don’t have a mother
and my daughter has stuff she has to get done so cancelled the day trip to Naples we were going to take.
So, for fun I’ll probably clean, search classifieds, check Craigslist, ride my bike and watch Supernatural
Pretty much a repeat of Saturday night

Question of the week
How was your week?
Any plans for this coming week?

Yep, I’m hitting on a controversial topic today…
breast implants.

There are a variety of reasons a woman may opt to have breast implants…
medical/health and cosmetic.
Women who’ve had a mastectomy may decide to get breast implants.
Others may get breast implants purely for cosmetic reasons.
Those who do range from the average woman to athletes (figure competitors, bodybuilders, fitness competitors, etc.)

If you’re considering getting breast implants you need to do your research…
your guide to breast implants contains a variety of factors to take into consideration.
You’ll have to meet and research different plastic surgeons, getting a feel for them and what they suggest for you.
Price is a factor, as well as size and type of implants.
Silicone implants were taken off the market (at least in the US) for awhile but now they’re back with improvements that supposedly don’t have any health issues.
Saline implants are still popular.
You have numerous options and variables to take into consideration when deciding if breast implants are what you want to get.
You’ll also have to make sure you’re ready emotionally for the changes that will come with getting your breasts done.
It’s not just a physical change but will affect you emotionally as well so you need to be prepared for everything involved prior to going under the knife.

Do your research
Take all factors into consideration
Do what’s best for you!

Question of the day
Would you consider breast implants or surgery?

Eating disorders are sadly prevalent right now and many don’t know where to turn for help. Some may not even realize (or want to acknowledge) that they have a problem, making it even more difficult for them to get treatment.

There are different types of eating disorders but one thing is the same, anyone who is dealing with an eating disorder needs to get treatment before it’s too late.
Statistically, the death rate of people with eating disorders is between 10–25% and 2–5% of those are from suicide.

How do you know if someone you love has an eating disorder
Extreme preoccupation with food, weight and body image
Fear of being overweight
Having times where eating feels totally out of control
Using food or lack of eating to numb out difficult problems and feelings
Guilt, shame and fear over eating
Compensating for eating by restricting, over-exercising or other self-destructive behaviors

Some symptoms of bulimia include: chronic gastric reflux immediately following a meal , constant fluctuations in body weight, constipation or irregular bowel functions or decreased menstruation or infertility.

Getting help for an eating disorder is one of the most important things one can do who’s suffering from anorexia, bulimia or any other disorder.

The best option is to find a treatment center that specifically deals with eating disorders and creates a safe comfortable environment for the person being treated. Those seeking treatment have better results when surrounded by a positive, caring and compassion support system that knows how to deal with destructive habits in a loving way. You’ll also want to make sure that the staff and personnel are qualified and have knowledge as well as experience with eating disorders.

Just like with other treatments, there is a 12 step plan for eating disorders as well.
12-Step Eating Disorder Treatment
According to the APA (American Psychological Association), the 12-Step process involves:
• admitting that you are powerless to control your addiction or compulsive behavior
• recognizing that only a higher power can be your source of strength
• with the assistance of an experienced member or “sponsor”, you examine the errors you have made in the past
• making amends for your past errors
• learning a new behavior code so that you can start living a new life
• helping those individuals who are suffering with the same conditions that you are

If you know someone who you think may suffer from an eating disorder, help them to acknowledge the problem and get help.

Wow, it’s May 2nd already!
Where is 2012 going?

I’m going to partake of the May photo a day challenge
So get ready for another month worth of pics here!
Join in and have some fun yourself!

For May 1st… Peace

And, did you notice the logo on the toaster?!
It’s my logo!
How cool is that?!
And, y’all know I’m all about peace…so what better way than to have a peace of toast! (ok sad attempt!)
But, I got this most awesome toaster from BurntImpressions.com
They have LOTS of different designs and now are also selling tie dye shirts too! (yes, I embrace my inner hippie!)
A review and more info will be up by this weekend but what timing!

Day 2- Skyline… not much to look at here!
There really is no skyline in Pembroke Pines.

Question of the day
Are you going to take part of the challenge?
It’s easier via Instagram but I don’t have iphone or anything like that so I’m stuck doing it this way

Wow hard to believe I DID IT!
I did every day of April for the April Photo A Day Challenge

EXCEPT, I am not doing today…
by choice…
Too many things that apply and honestly don’t want to think about it…
Today is “Something that makes you sad”

So with that said, here are the photos from the weekend!

and

Will I do May? dunno…

This week has been crazy busy…
where to start?

Let’s start with the bad first…
Due to budget cuts I lost a big client
So, searching for more work…if you need or know anyone who needs help with PR, Social Media contact me!

Now for some fun…
days 26-27 of the April Photo A Day Challenge
Yes, I do in fact own a purse and I use the term loosely since it’s a tiny across body purse but a purse nonetheless

and my favorite place to go…
the sea wall at Castillo De San Marco in St. Augustine, FL

Now for my workouts this week
I honestly didn’t write them down so I have no clue what I did on what days…
But, I do know I did yoga 3 mornings
BallBike 4 times (some video’s below!)
Treadmill twice for 45 mins
RKS Kettlebell once
Brazil Butt Lift DVD once (I really need to be consistent with this)
Trampoline – twice

I did manage to get some video’s up of BallBike exercises as well as how to make fresh fruit ice cream

*Disclaimer* Since so many have emailed me and told me it’s not good to use exercise equipment barefoot…
Sorry, but I DO!
I can’t stand wearing shoes.
I wear my Keen trail shoes to run in, yoga sandals any time I have to go out in public where shoes are required; otherwise, I’m pretty much barefoot and that’d include on equipment.

I want the Fila Skeletoes then maybe, just maybe I’d wear those on my equipment.

BallBike Boxing
Special Bonus at the end…(if you happen to lust after Jensen Ackles & Supernatural like I do, you’ll appreciate it)

Made some fruit ice cream

Bounced around…Jump Jump Jump Around!

Announced the May Fitness Challenge and the most awesome sponsors (watch the video!)

Worked out at my desk

Intro’d you to the BallBike (and more workouts and a great offer will be coming up soon)

So, that’s my week…

Who knows what this soggy south Florida weekend holds…

Question of the day
What’d you do this week?
Goals for next week?

I can’t help it that blog post topics come to me sometimes in the most random spots
like waiting
and waiting
and waiting
and waiting…
in line at the court house to set my speeding ticket for court date
as tweeted…
note the tweet on top which was after I left the court house (for speeding ticket nonetheless)

Meanwhile, while I patiently waited did walking lunges in the back of room 200 at the courthouse while all the strange people were cussing about how slow it was and babies screaming, I was thinking about the conversation I had had a few minutes prior to going in there.

A guy who I had to ask which room I was supposed to go to and then started talking about work, etc. said that I look like the type that would speed…
“free spirited do what she wants type of girl”
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm pretty much spot on.
Am I really that easy to read?
Apparently so, since it’s been said multiple times by people who have no clue who I am or anything about me…
hmmmmm could it have been the tee w/”peace” all over it? the yoga sandals? the freshly wind blown hair?
Dunno, but got me thinking about are we really who we present ourselves as?
I mean I did wear a biz suit once and I’m pretty sure nobody said I looked like a ‘free spirit’ in it.

Then again, I did have to add my own style with the hair…

Meanwhile, how do you represent yourself?
Are you easy to read?
Are you being yourself?
Or, do you try to hide what you’re about?

Like I said, I have random thoughts in random places then lucky you gets to read about them!

So, enough of my ramblings…
go out and be yourself today and do it with pride!

Question of the day:
What 3 words do people use to describe you?
