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?

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

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 [...]
Wellness Update 2/2/19
Heeeeeey Y'all! Not a whole ton has changed in the past week, but I've done some good thinking and sorting out in my head and heart. I've had some high highs and low lows with my mental health, and that has taken up more of my energy than I'd like, but that's just life right [...]
Reflections on Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” I crave the relief, [...]
