Hey Y'all! It's a new month and I am ready with some new thoughts, changes, updates, and resources! First, I'm down five pounds (at least) since my last post nine days ago! Obviously, this is not the thing that matters most, and I'll get into that more in a bit, but it tells me that [...]

7/23: setbacks, frustrations, and action steps
So, I weighed myself this morning, mostly to see if what I feel is reality, because, if I'm honest, sometimes it's not. It was. The scale says I have gained back everything I lost January-May. Nine lbs that I worked really, unbelievably hard for. I'll be honest, I've been pretty spun up the past couple [...]
IE update!
So, I'm almost three weeks into expanding my freedom quest into my food and fitness journey, and I have some thoughts. First, I'm not gonna pretend I'm fully on board with everything these ladies say, especially as it relates to weight loss, size, etc-FOR ME. I know that for some, just taking those factors out [...]
Intuitive Eating Day 3-6 update: (6/29-7/2/18)
My lunch from yesterday-a turkey sandwich I really wanted, except without avocado because they aren't ripe yet, and a bowl of blueberries that I didn't measure-I was still hungry after so I ate a cucumber dipped in ranch-perfect! Some of this is coming very easily to me. I know what foods I like and what [...]
Let’s talk about protein shakes (and other supplements).
If you know me or follow me on social media, you might have heard or seen me talk about the supplements I use, particularly the protein. I'm in LOVE with IdealRaw because I get quality products that I can trust. I still read the labels, but I feel good putting this stuff in my body. [...]
Bluebirds, Buttermilk Biscuits, Bubble Butts, and Recovery Days
This week has been...unexpectedly impactful so far, and it's not even halfway over. First, I'm pretty sure a pair of bluebirds is nesting in my birdhouse, or will soon. I've seen them at least a few times a day the past few days-yesterday they stayed for over an hour around lunchtime, and almost as long [...]
Time for a Fitness Manifesto…
I am strong. I am beautiful. I am mighty and an overcomer. I am not defined by, nor does my worth come from the number on a scale or the tag in my pants. A life well lived is not measured in calories, but in hugs, kisses, smiles, and laughs. In prayers prayed, in people [...]
Two Weeks Into My Peloton Journey
So, I mentioned in my most recent fintess update that there was a piece of the puzzle that I was saving to share later, and here it is: I got a Peloton bike!!!! I've been in love with Spinning since my very first class at the gym almost six and a half years ago, and [...]
Health update 2/22/18
If you've been following this blog for six years or longer, you know that my fitness/health/weight loss journey has been one of many peaks and valleys. If you've only been following three years or less, you might think I must have no idea what's going on or how to make weight loss happen. The past [...]
Quick take-1/29/18
My big overarching goal for this year is to be free to enjoy the season I am in while God heals me and brings me to bloom again-not waiting until I’m blooming and strong to enjoy this beautiful life. Thus far I envisioned that as really enjoying the beauty available right here in and near [...]
