The Real Kim Challenge: Setting Fitness Goals Part II

Friday is the one year anniversary of The Kim Challenge.  A whole year of challenging myself to be healthy without being crazy.  I started this blog doing the three month Self Challenge and a year later I’m starting a new challenge.  This time around I’m making the rules.   I don’t need magazine diet advice and [...]

Daily Confessional: So much to do, so little time

Ahhh, I’m leaving tomorrow.  I have a lot to do, I just don’t think that I’m actually going to get it all done in time.  There’s no way I can research and write 7 new pages of text for my book and send it to my teacher before I leave, pack, meet my aunt for [...]

The Real Kim Challenge: Setting Fitness Goals Part I

I have to say that I’ve felt for a while like there’s been something missing from my workouts.  I really couldn’t put my finger on it for the longest time, but as I was thinking about where I was this time last year I realized the problem:  I don’t have any fitness goals.  In fact, [...]

Daily Confessional: Simple Pleasures

I have a favorite postal worker.  He seems young and therefore not embittered toward civil service yet and he’s always really nice and patient and helps me find the cheapest postage and we make chit chat.  There ya go, I admit it I pick favorites and I have a favorte mail clerk.  I was online [...]

Daily Confessional: Turbulent Tuesday

Today I’m grateful.  I’m not sure what for, but I have a general feeling of gratefulness and that will have to suffice to fulfil today’s grateful requirements.
I’m not sure what I’m doing today.  Creating a packing list, going for a run, working on next weeks writing assignments, loading up some projects for a freelance writing [...]

Daily Confessional: Back to me eating

I’ve been feeling somewhat out of it in my eating over the last few weeks.  First the vegan detox, then my Chicago trip, then visiting my family over the last few weekends.  I just felt like I wasn’t eating like me.  I also wasn’t working out nearly enough.  Sometimes when I take a week off [...]

Daily Confessional: I'm working I swear

Did anyone see Coraline?  I saw it last night and I’ve been thinking about it all day.  The animation was unbelievable-especially considering it was 3-D.  A really great, and kind of spooky film.  When I’m not thinking about cartoons, I am trying to get my life together, it’s just way more time consuming than I’d [...]

A Relook at French Women Don't Get Fat

I bought French Women Don’t Get Fat in 2005 when it first came out and everyone was raving about how revolutionary it was and how it was the best diet book ever written.  I read it, I liked it, I put it on my shelf and went right on being 22 and eating ramen.
I reread [...]
