I’m tired of starting these posts remarking how it has been awhile. hopefully I won’t have to anymore, because things are different now, but... let’s just get to it, hmm? I have been working through a lot of deep thoughts about my wellness, my WHY (which I have written a lot about, over the years, [...]

Wellness Wednesday, 10.2.19
Hi! Welcome to Wellness Wednesday, where I’m going to endeavor to, on the same day each week, update you on where I am with my physical and mental wellness, covering food, rest, exercise, and self care practices and how they are (or aren’t) serving me and my goals. I’m going to also keep it pretty [...]
Fall 2019: Balancing training and recovery with a new system and new tools
Obviously I have written here more about my fitness journey than any other topic. It's been a huge part of my personal growth journey, and even though it's been rocky and slow and frustrating at times, especially the past few years, it have learned so much- not just about food and exercise, but about myself, [...]
Fall 2019: Nutrition and supplements to heal and to support my goals
I've shared a lot recently about how my approach to nutrition has evolved, and I've shared in the past about the supplements I've tried in order to heal my body and, by extension, support healing in my mental health. As I've continued to educate myself on the physical effects of stress, hoping to figure out [...]
Some Starting Steps Toward a Healthier Lifestyle
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 [...]

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, [...]
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 [...]
