About the Author
Lynn Deming is a light-hearted, heavy bodied, health seeker, passionate in what she calls “moving from screen time to LIFE time.”
She grew up in a coastal town in Connecticut during an era where during summers your parents kicked you out of the house in the morning, let you in briefly for lunch, and didn’t let you back in until the street lights came on. She ran around outside playing games with the neighborhood kids and pool hopped from one friend’s house to another’s, when hungry she snacked on watermelon, cherries, peaches and other fresh treats, and then relaxed by reading books lying under the tree in her backyard. It was a fun, well balanced, healthy time.
But all that changed in third grade was when she was signed up for an aerobics class because she was perceived as pudgy by her parents. This began her life of obsessing over food, hating the deprivation most diets implemented, and spending too much of her precious time away from her family and life at the gym. Many times real life would get in the way and she would drop out of dieting and going to the gym and as her kids grew older family time became screen time.
In 2018 she decided there had to be a better way, and she became passionate about finding healthy food and activities that don’t include fad diets or hours spent at a gym. Join her in the journey to transform her couch potato life into to the fun, well balanced, healthy time of childhood. She will be on the search for healthy, real food; fun, real life activities; and for the only diet worth going on--an all chocolate diet that would make her thin and live forever without any disease.

Hi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteGreat job with this assignment! Truly a window into your past, I feel connected in a much stronger way. Reading this makes me miss the days when I was indeed kicked out of the house and not let back in until lunch.
I also believe I too have become obsessed with food and living through a healthy lifestyle. I hope you do live forever and continue to write more! Great job!
Hi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteI definitely feel connected to you and your writing, as your beat is well explained with the details of your past. There are definitely a lot of fitness fabs in today’s society and new diets daily, I would love to hear if you have tried any specific ones or what really makes them not work for you!
On another note, while you have a lot of great detail I feel that many of your sentences are long and run-on. For instance, you list out how your typical day went in one long sentence, when you could actually break them up and be more personal. You could add who’s house you ran to, where you ate the snacks and what was your favorite, or what book you loved read under the tree. Just these little details could make a big difference to your beat.
If you didn’t want to do that, you could try to ‘spice’ up your blog by making an actual list (maybe a recipe for the younger days as a spin off)! This could add something different to your blog post that would catch the readers eyes.
Maybe you could also further explain why in 2018 she decided to find a better way to live a healthy lifestyle! While I gave you some things to think about, there is definitely a lot of good information in this post - just expand!
