3/26/15

Hello readers, if I have any. If you’re out there. Hello? I have not made a post in quite some time, and while this is usually a sign that I am getting tired of my idea, I want to assure you all that I am still waging war against the fat girl’s natural enemy; the dreaded stairs.  I wish I could say that the only challenges I face are physical. It would be so much easier to...

Spring Break

Haven't posted in a while. It's Spring Break for me so I've been up and around and am currently updating from Midlothian, Virginia where I am visiting with my friend Megan and her sweet family. I have been slacking on my squat challenge but Megan is a good motivator, so she'll volunteered to kick my backend back into shape and into routine. We'll see. I don't have much else to say, despite my absence....

Happy Accident

I tried to cheat today. With the ache in my thighs from my rigorous squat schedule already burning on my trek from my car to Peck Hall, the thought of 50 steps to overcome felt unimaginable. So, I hit the little arrow by the elevator, already validating my laziness with a dozen excuses. I have my backpack with me today, and it's heavy, I whined internally. I hit the button again, as the little red...

Day 1

Yesterday, the 28th of February, I did 30 squats for the challenge I mentioned in my previous post. Due to the silliness of starting 1 or something on the last day of a month instead of the first day of the month, and the fact that the 30 I did were out of form and shouldn't count anyway, TODAY will officially be my first day of the 30 Day Squat Challenge. That being said, the 30 that I did yesterday...

Spock and Sqauts

Firstly, I'd like to interrupt this daily wellness blog to discuss some sad news. Leonard Nimoy passed away today at the age of 83. Nimoy is best known as Spock from the 1970's TV show and cult classic Star Trek, a personal favorite of mine. I grew up watching Star Trek in syndication with my father...

The Stairs

There are fifty stair steps in between me and the third floor of the concrete building where all of my classes reside. It is these very stairs that inspired this blog title. I’ve come to count them to distract myself from the tightness in my chest and the foreboding pressure in my right kneecap. I don’t know if bad knees are inherited genetically, but the discomfort makes me feel as if I am taking...

Fat Girl

For my first post I thought I’d write a little introduction. My name is Kelby and I am a fat girl living in Tennessee. Now, it’s important for you to know that when I refer to myself as fat, I am not being demeaning or cutting myself down, or looking for pity of any kind. I have just come to the fact...
