What If You're Not The Problem?

It’s Day 28 of 30, it’s Mother’s Day, and I’m starting a brand-new painting piece.

I was so excited because I just got these AI smart glasses, and I thought you were finally going to be able to see the painting process from my point of view. Well… surprise, surprise… I painted the first layer and the whole time thinking I was recording, and not one bit of the painting got recorded. LOL.

So yes, there is definitely a learning curve with these glasses. What I started is now drying, and next time I’m going to figure these things out so you can actually see the process.

This is real life, real creativity, and real “oops, let me learn this thing first” energy.

Day 27 of my 30-day Rethinking Weight journey is Show Up Saturday, and today’s workout adventure started with a thigh exerciser that was definitely not made for me. 😂

So what did I do? I found an original-style Suzanne Somers Thigh Master on Facebook Marketplace, drove 25 miles to get it, used it for 10 minutes — and then got on the treadmill for another 25 minutes.

No, you will not see me doing the thigh exercise. Nope. Not happening. LOL!

But the point is this: I showed up anyway. Mother’s Day is tomorrow, Monday weigh-in is coming, and I’m staying committed to the process.

Today’s reminder: Be diligent. Be consistent. Be mighty.

This is MoveLite™ in motion. This is Rethinking Weight. This is Body. Mind. Movement. Truth.

This is Day 26 - the final piece of Fixing What Was Broken.

My artwork, After The Tide, had fallen, cracked, and needed to be repaired. I glued it, filled the gaps with sand, and today I had to paint it for it to be finished.

And that reminded me of something powerful: God doesn’t just fix us and leave us unfinished. When He restores, He makes us whole, finished, polished, and sparkling.

What was broken didn’t stay broken.

What was cracked became covered.

What looked damaged became beautiful again.

Be-Mighty. Body. Mind. Movement. Truth.

Today is Day 25 of 30, and we are stepping into Thunderous Thursday with a simple but powerful MoveLite™ workout.

This episode is all about Steppin’ Time - stepping up and down like walking stairs, but staying in one place. You can use an aerobic step platform, one stair, a short sturdy stool, or simply march in place. I’m using my vibration plate as my stepper today, and yes… the sweat showed up!

In this session, we talk about the benefits of stepping, including lower body strength, balance, coordination, endurance, core engagement, and heart health. We also talk about being careful, moving safely, and listening to your body while still challenging yourself.

Toward the end, we bring it back to Be-Mighty - BMMT: Body, Mind, Movement, Truth.

Be strong. Be intentional. Whatever you do, do it well.

This is not about perfection. This is about showing up one step at a time.

Today is Day 24 of 30 - of this intentional journey, and it’s Wonderful Wednesday with The Barefoot Violinist.

In this episode, I’m sharing a classical piece and allowing the music to create a moment of peace, reflection, and reset. Sometimes movement is not about pushing harder. Sometimes movement is letting your mind breathe, your heart settle, and your spirit be reminded that beauty still has a sound.

This is part of Rethinking Weight - where we are learning to release the weight physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Be-Mighty.

BMMT: Body, Mind, Movement, Truth.

Today is Day 23 of my Rethinking Weight journey, and whew… this one is real. I did not feel like working out today. My body was tired, everything was hurting, and I had every reason to sit this one out - but I pressed start anyway.

This Intentional Tuesday treadmill workout is not about perfection. It is about showing up, taking one step at a time, and reminding myself that progress is still progress, even when it feels slow.

Walking on the treadmill is more than just movement. It helps strengthen the heart, supports endurance, burns calories, improves circulation, builds consistency, and gives the body a safe way to move forward. But it also helps the mind and emotions. Sometimes walking gives stress somewhere to go. Sometimes movement helps clear the mental clutter. Sometimes one step reminds you that you are not stuck.

MoveLite is in motion, and Be-Mighty is in play: Body, Mind, Movement, and Truth.

I am Regina Williams, The Barefoot Violinist, and the RW of Rethinking Weight. Thank you for walking this journey with me.

Day 22 of 30 - Happppy Scale? Well… today the scale had jokes. 😂

I gained 1.8 pounds, but here’s the truth: I’m not just chasing a lower number anymore. I’m building muscle, building strength, and building a body that can carry me better.

And muscle? Muscle can make the scale go up before it goes down. But that does not mean I’m going backwards. Muscle helps burn fat, supports my body, and changes the way I feel, move, and show up.

So yes, the scale said one thing, but my inches are telling another story.

My clothes are fitting different. My body is changing. My strength is growing. My mindset is shifting.

This is why I’m learning not to let one number steal the whole victory.

Because progress is not always pounds lost. Sometimes progress looks like inches released, energy gained, strength built, and peace protected.

So today, I’m still celebrating.

Day 22. Weigh-In Monday.

The scale moved up, but I’m still moving forward.

Be-Mighty. Body, Mind, Movement, and Truth.

In Day 21 of 30, Part 2 of Finding My Peace, I continue restoring my artwork, "After The Tide", after it fell from the wall and cracked into pieces.

What started as a broken art piece became a powerful reminder that sometimes healing takes time, patience, and the willingness to fill the gaps we can see - and even the little creases and crevices we didn’t notice at first.

Using sand from South Shore Country Club beach, glue, and a whole lot of patience, I worked for over an hour repairing the broken spaces. And while I was filling those cracks, God reminded me that restoration does not always erase what happened, but it can make something stronger, deeper, and even more beautiful than before.

Have you ever created something, built something, loved something, or hoped for something - and then it fell apart?

Don’t leave it broken. Do the work. Let God fill the gaps. Be-Mighty.

BMMT: Body, Mind, Movement, Truth.

I’m Regina Williams, The Barefoot Violinist, and this is Rethinking Weight - helping you release the weights of life physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Come back tomorrow for Weigh-In Monday. Will it be a happy scale or a mad scale?

Today is Day 20 of 30 of my Rethinking Weight journey, and it’s Show Up Saturday!

For today’s movement, I’m using a Rotator Machine Arm Workout Equipment, also known as an arm rotator machine, forearm trainer, shoulder strength trainer, or spinning arm trainer.

This small but mighty workout tool helps target the forearms, wrists, grip, arms, shoulders, upper-body endurance, coordination, and control. It may look simple, but when you use it with intention, it can bring a real burn.

This workout is not about punishment. It’s not about doing the most. It’s about showing up, moving with control, and building strength one rotation at a time.

This is Be-Mighty in action:

Body. Mind. Movement. Truth.

Whether you do three minutes, five minutes, or the full workout, remember — showing up counts.

Today is Day 19 of 30 - Find Your Peace Friday, and I’m finding my peace through painting.

But today’s painting moment came with a message. One of my art pieces fell and broke, and instead of throwing it away, I decided to mend it back together. And as I worked with the broken pieces, I started thinking about how God does the same with us.

Sometimes life breaks us. Sometimes we fall. Sometimes we crack in places nobody can see. And even when we are mended, we may not look exactly the same as before, but that does not mean we are no longer valuable, beautiful, or useful.

This episode is about finding peace, resetting your heart, and remembering that broken does not mean finished. God can mend what feels shattered, and sometimes the repaired places become part of the testimony.

So today, take a breath, find your peace, and remember: you are still becoming.

BMMT - Be-Mighty:

Body. Mind. Movement. Truth.

Today’s truth: God can meet us in the broken places and help us heal, reset, and keep going.
