I love your last blog even though you didn’t write much.
I love your honesty and I know what ever you write will be authentic and
from the heart.

Thanks so much and looking forward to your next blog!

Wow Marianne I am really impressed. You have been such a great inspiration in the last few years. I still go back to your workout archives and watch and do your workouts. You keep me motivated, so it is nice to see that you are back.
great website and blog by the way.

Cheers from NYC

FINALLY!!! Had time to start exploring your new website 🙂 I like it so far and I am starting to do your workouts again starting this week. Been off for a while, but since a lot of positive things are going on now, I feel like I have to go back to training! :))

Marianne, I’ve followed your site for years (off and on) and I’m so happy to see this beautiful new site and that you’ve gotten married! Congratulations!! I’m finally at the point where I have the courage to actually do your beginner workouts (and not just reading your blog). I’ve finally conquered my food issues that kept me yo-yoing on and off diets and fitness plans! I now have my gym all set up and I’m ready to start my own journey of your beginner videos. May God bless you, your husband and your future together!

I love your latest blog about put on a mask.
Thanks for your honesty in this blog and I too
need to do some work in this area.
I’ll be happy when…..that is me!

Thank you,
Terry

In reply to Mike.

I appreciate your point, Mike: When I got my new laptop, the Caps Lock would stick on the lower case and autocorrect worked at the beginning of a sentence, but not in the middle. And I became lazy in correcting it myself. To be honest, I didn’t even realise I had developed the habit until my husband pointed it out the day he read this blog.

Now, I want to point out that while you are correct in noticing my grammatical bad habit, I never set out to be anything but a good writer, and I found the bulk of your message to be judgemental and condescending – by believing my error is akin to a rebellious teenager or that making the error somehow = semi-literacy – which, as I have now explained, is invalid and I found it rude.

While I’m very happy that you are of Irish descent, to be blunt, it does not validate what you are saying.

In reply to Marianne.

You’re a good writer when you want to be. But don’t write like a rebellious semi-literate teenager, with “i”; write like a woman: “I”. You talk about serious subjects, you’re thoughtful, and you have useful insights.

Plus don’t forget: the Irish* have produced many of the best writers in the world. You’ve got a standard to live up to!

* with half my family originally from Portadown, I can say that.

The blog looks great! And I’m so excited to go on this journey with you. For the record, as one of your clients, I consider you so much more than a trainer. You’ve been like a life coach! 🙂

In reply to Mike. My husband agrees with you, Mike.
