Over the last year I have fought a battle against a relentless enemy - Food! While there are many blogs that talk about how to diet, how to lose stubborn fat, how to eat clean, etc, I don't have a problem keeping pounds off, I have a problem putting pounds on. At this point I have no idea why my body has changed so much and now I suddenly have so many dietary restrictions, but all I know is that finding foods I can eat to nourish my body is a tough task. I'm here to share my journey with you and hopefully help some of you on a similar journey. I'll be covering topics like how to add calories to your diet, best times of the day to eat, and how to deal with criticism from others for your "skinniness". I'll also share about my fitness regimen, including spotlights on certain supplements for people with sensitive stomachs. And of course, I'll share a little about what I have learned about dressing a stick figure and maximizing curves, as well as new trends that are particularly flattering for this body type. I'd love for you to follow along on my journey and share your own tips on how you deal with challenges in your life journey.

After yesterday's weighted mile walk with #drippingwetfitness my upper body is feeling tight & sore. I love the triangle pose to open the chest and restore proper channels for even blood flow.

Today's two cents.
Let's talk about roles And women on poles Has our society created these monsters? Not speaking of the women Providing for their children But of those in the crowd, the imposters. They sit on the rows To stare at the hoes And tip them when especially disrespectful And then they go back To their big red brick shack And preach chastity to their young children. Not sure which comes first The casket or hurst But they are digging the very same grave That will bury the hoes The moment they chose To live life in that hypocritical way. Teach instead love It's the greatest of all And our children will want to be chaste. For who wants to hurt The people they love & intentionally cause them pain.

I don't have much time But as I stand at the edge of the endless ocean All I see is time. The endless continuity These waves of beauty Continually crashing at my feet Time after time. Sometimes engulfing my toes Sometimes rushing back just to come hence again Time after time. The water hastens as if it too has no time to dally, Yet retreats back just to rush forward again Sometimes even more frantically than before, Sometimes it comes forward calmly with lackadaisical purpose. Time after time. I wonder about the water that gets caught At the front of the hustle. Does it get tired? Of continually washing ashore. Perhaps it wishes for more. Maybe for calmer seas. Maybe for larger waves. Yet it is stuck in its current place Washing ashore in the same old space. Time after time. As this last large crest licks my toes It leaves me with the promise that wherever it goes Rushing or slowed It will return. Time after time.

Together.
We sit here together, unaffected by weather, which chose not to pamper our day with warm loving rays. blue eyes so bright, quickly closed tight, as my young five year old prays:
“Dear Lord bless our days, I hope my mom stays.” I open my eyes to a haze of unbeckoned tears I’ve realized the years have emboldened my smart little man.
With his unmarred worldview, all he knows to be true, is my presence improves his days. this trip, a surprise That brightened his eyes; he’s truly so glad that I came.
Of course, I am too - as he is the glue, that binds up the parts of my soul which threaten to shatter due to all the black matter that has tainted my grown-up worldview.
I’ve realized what lies beyond the blue skies of childhood’s ignorant bliss.
I wish he could stay forever this way unmarred by the world’s dark abyss.
However, I know that for him to grow, he must endure some pain. And although I hate it, and wish I could make it all somehow be so easy i know his bright future depends on the suture of these childhood wounds.
So I take his small hand and promise I’ll stand forever and always beside his small little soul as he continues to grow into his great destiny.
it won’t be easy, and I swallow the queasy feelings of inadequacy and dread. Such a daunting task and I’m tempted to ask someone else to fill in my shoes.
But if I’ve learned just one lesson its that history proves all little boys need their mom. To kiss on a bruise, and aid as they muse over why this world is unfair.
I may not have answers for all of the cancers that threaten my baby’s blue skies But there is no excuse for ignorant abuse so I promise him no more lies.
When I don’t have answers and can’t produce dancers to brighten a cloudy gray day, I’ll tell him the truth regardless of youth hold his hand and steady and pray: “Lord, I am grateful for this big plateful of blessings you’ve brought our way. But I cannot pretend I can just blend all this together and thank You right now, right away. I might have some questions regarding the digestions of dishes served on my plate. Excuse all the trouble but my belly’s a-bubble I thought the reviews said You’re great.” And out of the silence, with no hint of violence, my dear God proceeds to say: “Don’t question my venue, you picked off the menu, the dishes I’ve served you today.”
Yes, ok, fine. That choice was mine. But I asked for blue skies, not grey. That wasn’t my choice, as I raised my voice, indignant, now God, what do you say?
Instead of a fuss, He said, “Child, just trust. and open those pretty blue eyes. who cares if it’s grey, you’re here now to stay for a time with your life’s greatest prize. You have a purpose this wasn’t just chance don’t question my judgement there’s no happenstance.”
I open my eyes and gaze at the prize my God entrusted to me. I know I could spend days upon end asking Him what He was thinking. But the decision’s been made and surely, I’ve prayed to be in this moment with him. These big bright blue eyes, his miniature size, my child. His heart is my home.
As we walk to the house, I’m quiet as a mouse, only answering his continual chatter. These grey skies don’t matter and though I would rather the yellow warm rays of the sun; my heart is so full as I feel my son pull me along the damp street to his childhood home.
His hand in mine, no regard to the time. Just enjoying our moments together.

This afternoon's smoothie: one red apple, one green apple, a handful of spinach. Wish I had a straw but that's really my only complaint. :)

Struggling with the calories today. It's after 7pm and I'm not feeling any food right now. Not even yogurt or fruit. Ugh.

Using #MyFitnessApp to track calories is ridiculously helpful. I've been using it for three days now and the first two days I got the message on the left. Really uplifting. Thanks. Today, I got the message on the right. Still makes me want to cry. BUT! It's an improvement. And hopefully I'll get another meal or snack in before the day is over. Still planning for a workout but will probably stick with light yoga. I lost five pounds last week so have to be careful about burning more than I'm ingesting.

Today's breakfast - about 4oz of a Ribeye steak, rare. Topped with a few sautéed mushrooms and crumbled goat cheese. This actually went down easily this morning! Great start to my day. High in fat, which I NEED, good amount of iron, and super tasty. Most importantly: Zero stomach issues. Yesterday's calorie count was abysmal. Don't think I even hit 300. Today so far I'm at 432 and I have about 1500 to go. It's around 2pm, not currently hungry but I'll try some yogurt & fruit soon. Glad I jumpstarted my day with breakfast - food smells aren't bothering me so much today. Went to the Dr this morning and lost five pounds last week. :( was hoping I'd put on some weight since I've been in the gym every day. But! Today I'm buying a blender to make smoothies with yogurt, fruit, veggies, etc. 100% fresh and so much easier than chewing and swallowing! Here's to higher calorie counts soon.
