Show Them Your Butt!!

**Probably going in the Ebook with more info but anyway, blog for the day!!**
“The Higher the Tree the Monkey Climbs, the More You See of His Butt” – or whatever colorful word you use :)


I first heard a professor use this in ROTC in college and took in one way. Now a whole 10 yrs or so later, I really think I get it. Not the way you think I might..stay with me.

I think that deep down inside, instinctively we all know this. The more you do, the more successful you are, the more people see you. Yay exposure right? No. No yay. Tons of fear is the usual reaction. We all, at some level want to be loved, appreciated and NOT judged. Maslow’s hierchy of needs right? What’s smack dab in the middle? Social needs. We NEED this before we even need to self actualize and reach our potential! Crazy right? Well find someone who doesn’t “need” anyone. Pushes everyone away. 10 out of 10? They aren’t at their full potential. We need that push back to do better. Or to learn character and when to push people the heck out.

I take this approach – Im not perfect. THANK.GOD. What a TON of pressure! I’m a work in progress. So I’ll let my butt show. Its gaining momentum (and muscle structure mind you!) in the process.

Not just with your career but your fitness. Ever been to the gym for the first time? Super skinny, matchity mcmatch match lady next to you killin the stair climber w/o a sweat? Super muscle guy trying to correct how you hold the weights or scoffing when you google the correct way? Guess what? She came to the gym matching and he came with an attitude. Neither have a thing to do with you. Learn from them. Ask her about her cute outfit – maybe it’s a cool workout brand that MAKES her not look like she’s sweating! Hello!! That’s how I learned about UnderArmour for running!! Then, the muscle guy? Who cares. This is all he has – you’ve got google and a funny story to tell. Don’t let either scare you from a gym. Or to make it back to the comparison at the beginning of this story, don’t let them scare you off your tree! Keep on climbin!!

Advice of the day? Just journey along, know your faults, improve and if someone is watching? Give them a show – SHOW YOUR BUTT!!!

Ongoing Lessons in Life and BALANCE

Hi My name is Jessica and I’m admittedly diagnosed with  ADHD. Watching my feed it’s like, “right. was there a question? You randomly dress in tutus”  However, I’ve always been more than functional with this, but sometimes, or rather for me, one time, it got to be more than I could bear. It takes a transition to get you to re-think and reassess how you approach things and how you react to changes and issues that come about. This is the longest post ever but here we go... The Background  I’m a middle child.    Middle child syndrome set in long ago and I’m definitely a people pleaser, mediator if you will. I love it and sometimes hate it.    I want to be mediated on once in a while! Can someone sorta let me just BE there and NOT be involved in the resolution? The answer is usually no.   Pressing on, I got married a little young, 23 to be exact and proceeded into full Stepmom (two amazing kiddos), wife, worker, grad student, gym go...

Divorce diaries

 this will be a shorter sort of rambling entry. It all matters. With my ex and I called it off, I put up a huge wall and that wall translated into every part of the life I have with my daughter. As much as I thought it didn't matter, kindergarten has been kicking my ass. You read that right my ass. All of it. And I have a big one. And why? Because of that damn wall. We weren't talking. So House on the right didn't know what house on the left was dealing with. It was pretty much awful. But I have seen though is my daughter be someone I didn't know she was, and show me that she's 100 times smarter and more clever than I ever gave her a little clever but credit for. So the diary of a divorcee  starts here…this is the lesson. They're smarter than us. So you got to talk. Kindergarten is getting a little better, actually a lot better. Who the heck learns Mandarin and Spanish , before they get there for teeth? And oh gosh the front teeth. That's another entry 😜… B...

day one...ick

so basically, im a little dissappointed..but ill get to that... i have reached a BLAH state with my workouts and yo-yo weight issues so i decided to try Jay Johnson's bootcamp. I thought, hey, it works for cheerleaders, surely I can hang! I was so nervous!! I went out...spent $225 on the camp and ended up buying new workout clothes and shoes and sweats (geez, you cant just roll into valley ranch looking like trash right?!?!?) and i was ready this morning..queeziness and all...530am..i got there at 520a (10 push ups if you are late!!) and you know what???? it was cancelled! more specifically, no one showed! so im still pretty ticked about it!! i actually am actively trying to reach the caloric goals for each day, so i packed my 4-5 mini meals and im doing ok..i ended up doing some workout at the gym and i ran and such outside with some veterans of the camp before dissapointedly departing the location... lets just say that im overly ready for wednesday and i hope i dont have to get a...
