Diary of a Former Chubby Trainer/Nutrition Coach – another entry
Diary of a Former Chubby Trainer/Nutrition Coach My story starts in grade school. My story is a long one and it’s not a pretty one. It’s full of winding roads and uphill climbs and some straight roads. I feel like I have been aware of …
Screaming, Yelling, Blood and Tattling
It was just another day at the Euclid House. Yelling, screaming, tattling. It must have been a weekend because mom was home. It could have been evening, but it seemed like it was during the day. As you have seen from previous blog posts, we …

Wedding Vows
It’s our anniversary tomorrow (January 10th). It is 21 years. It feels like two. I feel like we have known each other our whole lives, not just 21 years of our lives. The promise: I Peggie, take thee John, to be my wedded husband, to …
Watermelons and station wagons
