I don’t feel myself. To look at me you wouldn’t  think  “she looks fat and fatigued”. However Perimenopause, years of fertility drugs and lack of consistent exercise has caused me to feel weak and tired, padded with an extra blanket of me.  Believe it or not when I go shopping for clothes my arms get tired from going through racks, I used to be able to do 50 push ups!!

In my brain I am still an  athlete, with the same amount of food coming in however very little energy is going out. In the last six years I have gained 25 pounds. I have lost some but tend to yo yo with my weight and fitness.  So no more winging it for me, I’m gathering all my wisdom, common sense and athletic training to guide me to feeling light and healthy.


This is the beginning of a series of blogs I am going to write on my journey to lightness!! This is my commitment, join me in asking yourself these critical questions: “How do I want to feel? What’s my definition of healthy?

How do I want to feel?

I want to feel light, strong and supple. (This is a great time to let go of how much you want to weigh, I am working on this)

What’s my definition of healthy?

Raise my quality of life (no headaches), do daily activities with ease, feel vibrant, run and do yoga five times a week. 

First Step to Feeling Light

Think light, believe you are light. Tonight begin a ritual before bed declaring ten times,

I feel light

What we think is what we manifest in our lives. Many experts say it takes about six weeks to cultivate a good habit. I encourage you to be kind and patient with yourself this isn’t a diet it’s a commitment to how you want to feel in your body.

Next time Energy in Energy out.
