South Beach and Me
Guess what! As of today, I have been on the South Beach Diet for a whopping 11 days! If you know me and my love affair with food, this is HUGE!!!! I will be honest though, I haven't been truly faithful with the diet. For the first 9 days I would allow my self 1 "cheat" item. This helped me ease into the diet. I can tell a difference. I have more energy, enough to do a 22 hour day with little caffeine energy. I'm noticing that parts of me are shrinking. Not sure if others notice, but I do, and that is what matters. A friend asked what day of the week I weigh or if I was doing it based on inches. I'm doing neither. I know me. I need to change my relationship with food and not worry about numbers. I going on how I feel and I think I look. I know where I want to be and I know what it's going to take to get there. So, I'm going to continue Phase 1 for another 2 1/2 weeks and then switch to Phase 2. Also, need to start the whole exercise thing. GULP! Not looking forward to that, but it must be done. I have a goal to do PX90 without killing myself. Hmmmmm

Me...
Everyone has things in their past that shape them as a person. It wasn't until recently that I realized how much some of my past actions shape me as a person. There are some things that I do that may seem irrational to some but make sense to me. There have been times when I have felt that I needed to apologize for who I was and the way I acted. Based on past experiences, it was what I was supposed to do. I realize now that I should not ever have to apologize for who I am. So, who am I?
I am a woman who loves with all her heart. Some say I give it too freely, but I don't feel that I do.
I am a friend. If I call you friend, know that the title of friend come with me and all my quirks. I am there when you need me and I expect the same in return.
I expect honesty of those closest to me and I give honesty in return.
Respect is something that is earned. And I will be the first to tell you that there is no hard and fast rule to how earn respect from me.
Along with all of this comes trust. Trust is earned and given with the stipulation that if you break it, there will be no more.
I am a caregiver. I have a tendency to try to take care of the people I care for the most. It is something I have always done. It is something that I will always do.
I am someone who puts my own personal needs and wants to the side to make sure the people I care for are taken care of. This is hard for some to understand. But it is how I was raised.
I'm not saying that I don't struggle with these things, because I do, daily. I'm saying this is me and don't try to change me, just try to understand me.

Caution: Fragile
It's Thursday night and I'm ready for this week to be over! Thanks to others I have had to relive a time in my life that I would rather not repeat. At least this time I knew what to do and could control the fallout. Years ago I wasn't so lucky. It just reminds me of how fragile trust is and how people can twist words and situations to fit their needs.
Things in our past shape who we are now. This statement is especially true in this situation. I've been told before that I don't let people in and I don't trust easily. It's true. But what most don't know is there is a backstory as to why. It isn't something that is for public consumption. It's an experience that I alone own.
I think at times people jump to conclusions about how people should or would act in given situations. Then they are surprised when you don't do what they expect. Just keep in mind there may be a backstory as to why the person goes with the unexpected. I think we need to spend less time being appalled by actions and spend more time finding out the reason behind the actions.
Take time to get to know people. Build and maintain friendships and relationships. Build and keep the trust. Because without trust, you have nothing.

Well here we go…
Hello All!
I finally did it. I've started a blog. Now as to what you going to find in this blog I have no clue. It mainly going to be randomness that comes to mind, mainly what won't fit in 140 characters. From time to time you may even see some of my poetry show up. Feel free to leave comments. But only those that are deemed constructive and praising will be taken to heart.
