UK bloggers. ..

I know this is a long-shot, but does anyone know Georgie, aka fighting2beback  IRL? He hasn't blogged anything for like 6 days, which isn't like him and I'm a bit worried about him. Hopefully he's out having fun with his GF ... but ... can't help but worry a bit... :-/

5 Facts

I was tagged by the amazing anotherdaystrong

1) I played on the high school tennis team and got a scholarship to the local community college for tennis. I dreamed of playing tennis professionally, but I was never that good and always overweight.

2) I'm an only child. My mother died during childbirth. My dad never re-married. He raised me on his own.

3) I've lived in Florida all my life and have never seen snow falling; I've seen it on the ground, but never actually falling.

4) I was a certified life guard in college, but I never worked as one. It was a college course I took as my PE requirement. The hardest part of it was jumping off the super-high dive into the pool. Scared of heights!

5) I fell off a pogo stick when I was a kid and damaged my back; there's one place where the disc is just gone now. It's been a problem since then, going out several times a year all my life. I never saw a doctor about it until I was about 40 years old when it went out so badly that I literately couldn't walk because of the pain. Chiropractors are wonderful!

FMLS90 Challenge, Day 23

Day 23- Share with us one of your favorite tumblr fitness / weight loss inspirations? What about them inspires you and how are you applying that to your journey? <— Idea from user my—health—motivation

Wow, only ONE?! Okay, this is difficult cos there are so many people that I get inspiration from every single day, to pick one is very difficult.

Okay ... after giving this a lot of thought I'm going to give a shout out to: Georgie         #fightingtobeback     http://fighting2beback.tumblr.com/

Georgie is a professional wrestler who FRACTURED HIS SPINE in Sept. of 2012. He took the opportunity during his long recovery to work on his overall fitness and lose weight and a couple of months ago, he was back in the ring doing what he loves to do: wrestling.

When I think about what he's gone though, recovering from a fractured spine, then I realize that I've got it pretty easy in comparison. I haven't had to recover from any major illness or injury. I simply had to tame my carb-demon inside and get up off the couch.

The hard work and dedication he's put into his wrestling, including opening and running his own wrestling school, is an inspiration to me. He could've quit. He could've decided getting back in shape was just too hard or not worth it, but he didn't cos HE LOVES what he does and he fought to get back to it.

Being able to do what you love, what you're passionate about, well, that's a huge part of being fit and healthy, isn't it?

fighting2beback answered to your photo “You CAN NOT be serious! Why would you want potato chips to taste like...”

tbf looking at it like that why would they make any flavour you could just eat that thing of? lol crisps used to be my weakness so bad tho!

Yeah but ... chicken and waffles?!?! I mean, I can see adding cheese flavor or sour cream and chives flavor, that kinda GOES with potatoes, but chicken and waffles? That just blew my mind.  And yeah, I didn't used to need any flavor on chips to make them GONE in short order! LOL! Bad! Very bad!

Hope you're doing okay, Georgie! I've been a bit lax on tumblr of late -- life got busy.

5 Random Facts...

I was tagged by the lovely #becomingrachelgreysummers. Thanks, girl! ;-)

When I was about 14, I was thrown from my horse and got kicked under the chin. I needed 6 stitches. Those are the only stitches from an injury I've ever gotten. Since then I'm strictly a butterfly-bandage girl, regardless.  If I cut my finger off, I'd just stick it back on with butterfly bandages! haha!

When I was 19 I fell down the stairs at college and broke my leg in two places. I was in the hospital for a full week after they set it due to nerve damage. I still have no feeling in my first and second toes on that foot, but I can move them.

When asked not long ago what I would do if I knew I only had a few days to live, my initial reply was that I would go buy and eat every sugary, carb-laden food I could get my hands on. I realized then just how addicted to carbs I am! I adjusted my answer to add: while visiting loved ones to say goodbye! LOL!

I've never been to the Grand Canyon but I have been to 'The Old Curiosity Shop' in London.

I'm a native Floridian and have never lived anywhere else.

fighting2beback replied to your post:I had to cut a bunch of vegetables for dinner and...

i think cutting the bottom of the onion off before you cut the top off prevents tears. it works for me :)

I'll have to try that next time, thanks for the tip :)

Oops once you get this you have to say 5 nice things about yourself and then post it to your 10 favourite followers

Thanks so much for sending this to me, Georgie! :-)

Okay, let's see ....

1. I'm hard working, have always been the person that will get the job done, no matter what.

2. I'm not afraid to take charge of situations, projects, or groups to make sure whatever we're tasked with gets done with the least bullshit possible.

3. I'm loyal to a fault, sometimes to my own detriment.  (is that a nice thing or not ... not sure actually)

4. I have a dirty mind and a wicked sense of humor.

5. I have a wild imagination.
