Capitol Hill Dreaming
This a compilation of everything ME. From weight loss, to food, inspiration, life, love, and the pursuit of happiness, cute boys, and some good food.
This blog has no theme... people are cluttered, minds are never in order... this is not supposd to be either.
Welcome to my side of the fence... the grass is way greener :)
When your aunt and mom ask you for weight loss advice after criticizing your weight loss for months…

Because sometimes this is the only advice you need…
Lesson #1 of Weight Loss and Fitness Achievement:
Q: I’ve been doing six sets each of five exercises for my waist, six days a week, and I still can’t see my six-pack. What am I doing wrong?
A: ”No matter how many situps, crunches, twists or whatever else you do for your waist, you’ll not whittle away fat. The body doesn’t work that way. Fat reduction is achieved internally—and only if you expend a sufficiently greater number of calories than you consume for a sufficient period. Only if you force your body to draw on its energy reserves will you reduce your bodyfat.
You can reduce your bodyfat without doing any exercise whatsoever provided you eat fewer calories than you use for long enough, but even if you exercise three hours a day seven days a week, if you start eating more calories than you expend, you’ll gain bodyfat.” - Stuart McRobertson
1. What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what. (This is my creed.)
2. You define your own life. Don’t let other people write your script.
3. Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.
4. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. (A lesson from Maya Angelou.)
5. Worrying is wasted time. Use the same energy for doing something about whatever worries you.
6. What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe.
7. If the only prayer you ever say is thank you, that will be enough. (From the German theologian and humanist Meister Eckhart.)
8. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give.
9. Failure is a signpost to turn you in another direction.
10. If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.
11. Trust your instincts. Intuition doesn’t lie.
12. Love yourself and then learn to extend that love to others in every encounter.
13. Let passion drive your profession.
14. Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every paycheck will be a bonus.
15. Love doesn’t hurt. It feels really good.
16. Every day brings a chance to start over.
17. Being a mother is the hardest job on earth. Women everywhere must declare it so.
18. Doubt means don’t. Don’t move. Don’t answer. Don’t rush forward.
19. When you don’t know what to do, get still. The answer will come.
20. ”Trouble don’t last always.” (A line from a Negro spiritual, which calls to mind another favorite: This, too, shall pass.)
