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 [...]

Finding Food Freedom
A couple months ago, I had a major shift in both my fitness and food mentality-and, if I'm honest, my outlook on how I live my life, but that's a story for another day. Today, I'd like to share with you one aspect of that shift-how I choose what to eat. I have tried many [...]
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 [...]
Awaken and…Cultivate
I’m starting another series. Because I like to organize things and because the things I write about go in so many directions, it’s nice to feel like there’s some method to it. This series is going to be an expansion and exploration of all the “ands” God seems to be adding to my word for [...]
Baby, it’s cold outside…
It has been so very cold lately. I think I read the last week has been the coldest on record since they started recording in 1897! The cold has had a tremendous effect on how this year has begun for me, especially in the fitness arena. Join me as I recap the first week of [...]
November 7- Pay it forward
Over the last 15 years or so, I’ve been able to do this on several occasions in regards to fitness and weight loss. Not so much pay forward what others poured into me, because I’m mostly a self made woman in these areas-though my FIL did pay for my first gym membership in 2003, and [...]
