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, [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
August 1 Intuitive Eating Update
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 [...]
What if…
...pushing harder, eating cleaner, having foods I "don't eat" isn't bringing me closer to my goal? What if it's just stressing me both emotionally and physically and even slowing down the progress I'm looking for? About two months ago, something shifted in my thinking, big time. I'm not going to go into tons of detail [...]
