The trails at Lullwater provide sanctuary for soul searching.. . . for finding it.
For a while now I've been thinking that the title "Losing It" no longer suits my blog. It started as a play on words -- a big nod to my goal of losing weight and a sneaky wink at my frustration with my seeming inability to do so. But this blog is so much more to me now. It's about a much bigger goal of wholeness--physical, emotional, and spiritual well being. My weight is such a tiny, tiny (no sarcastic pun intended) portion of who I am. Even exercise, nutrition, physical fitness, and certainly CrossFit are just pieces of the puzzle. Plus I've come to realize it is nearly impossible to lose anything that you are constantly fixated on.
So I'm renaming the blog "Finding It" in celebration of all that I am learning, the personal growth I am experiencing, and my renewed commitment to focus on the whole person.

I love it!! I can learn a great deal from you, Pat!
Great picture and great new title. I've only been to lullwater a couple of times even though I work right there. I'll have to try to make it soon- it looks so peaceful.
I'm glad y'all like my new title/theme.
Myesha, the learning is mutual!
Meeks, Lullwater IS a great place to walk...it is very peaceful. Usually really quiet. Although I went there yesterday, and it was a little busy for the holiday...not like a typical park, but I ran into a lot of people. Lots of fishing and duck-feeding going on yesterday.
I love it too Pat, and all it represents.
Pat that is awesome! Seems like things are coming full circle for you! Yes Crossfit and eating healthy are important, but I like you feel it should only constitute a small part of your life and who you are as a person, the real you is going to shine through now, and what a wonderful soul that is to be shared with the world! Crossfit is a wonderful tool to meet new people, and I think the people I have met from there I enjoy the most are the ones that we don't talk about actutally working out that much, but more about life outside of the gym. I have been inspired by most of the woman there not by their athletic abilities ( okay, maybe Erica's, she is incredible :) but by the strong, independent woman they are and what great lifestyles they lead. I will take all those lessons with me so much further in life than how to do a proper squat.
