I promised some ideas of things you can do to start yourself on the path to being healthier in general, and losing excess weight, if that’s something you need or desire to do. I’m going to try to break them into categories, based on what’s easiest, some that are a bit more aggressive, and also [...]

Pushing back against Diet Mentality
I wrote this months ago, in response to some things I was encountering online,and the way it was feeding some unhealthy mindsets that I have really struggled to overcome, and bringing shame and self judgement into my life, and, I observed, into the lives of others. This has been eating at me, y'all. I've been [...]
Fall 2019: A New Season
Hey. Y'all! So much has changed in the past few months, and, hopefully I'll get to share a lot of it with you as we enter this new season together. It's necessitated me kinda laying low for a bit, figuring out how to replenish, recover, feed my body and soul better, and move forward in [...]
Two Decades of You and Me.
It all began twenty years ago today- well, it probably began about 8-9 months before that, but officially (as official as it could be when I wasn't supposed to tell anyone), it began on this day. You and I had been writing letters back and forth for a couple weeks. Long ones. You were encouraging [...]
Wellness Update 4.3.19
Hey Ya'll! I promise this won't be a novel like last week! Haha! But, seriously- I have had a very interesting week learning to adjust to this new routine, and every day I learn a little bit more about myself, about letting go, about how strong I already am, and about little by little progress.

The Spiritual Implications of Changing My Workout Routine
Welcome to a stream of consciousness post where I process and share at the same time. So, that title is kinda tongue in cheek, but also kinda not. It's clearly no secret that i have really struggled to reach my fitness/ fat loss goals the past four years since my sweet Baby Duck was born, [...]
Baby Duck is FOUR!
Oh Ducky Duddles, Bubber, Bub, Babyman, D, D-Zilla, Sillibub, Maui, Catboy, Gekko, George, King Bub, Bear Bub, Monkey, or whichever character you are today... I cannot believe you are four. Partly because you have plenty of sweet baby boy left in you, partly because time has flown so quickly, but it just seems impossible, like [...]
Re-programming Diet Mentality
So, I have a very close and dear and precious and important and wonderful friend who has fairly recently also become a health coach, and until very recently I have been very uncomfortable whenever I see his posts. It's not because of anything he is saying or doing at all- well, maybe the booty shots [...]
Now Is Not Then
I've spent too long trying to "replicate": others' bodiesothers' weight loss successesothers' fitness regimensothers' dietsmy own past weight loss successesmy own past body Even as recently as this fall, when I decided to take a step back to recover, I immediately dropped a full pant size, (but it didn't stay lost, because as we have [...]
Super Bowl Food and what comes after
Last Night was the Super Bowl, and MY BOYS WON!!! That was awesome and feels really good, but y'know what doesn't feel good? My body. Some of this is hormonal, some is from the fact that sleep was wrecked all weekend (again...so frustrating, but we are determined to re-train ourselves!), and some is from the [...]
