Life

I Never thought I was an all or nothing girl, but here I am killing it. I give 100% of myself to whatever I’m focused on. But…I sometimes focus on the wrong stuff. Why can’t I focus on more than one thing at a time? Why can’t I write, work, do the mom thing, and…

“Happy looks good on you” – no joke I heard that today. And I was taken back but then realized, yup this is how it feels. I’m happy. I’m not happy all the time. I don’t know anyone that is – but I’ll be the first to admit it. I’m not happy with my body,…

Now that I’ve had a chance to recover (slightly), I wanted to share my experience and all that has been going on lately. I think I can consider myself a runner at this point. I know I don’t look like a runner but yesterday, I completed my second half marathon. I’ve completed twelve 5K races,…

Everything happens in its own time and every step of this journey has brought me to where I am today. “Stay committed to your decisions but stay flexible in your approach.” -Tom Robbins Three weeks of Keto and I’ve lost five pounds. I’m not super happy with that.  It’s making me batty to be quite…

Who thought it would be a good idea to give up coffee alcohol and carbs all in the same day?! That was a little tough! April 22nd I took the plunge and started embarking on a keto lifestyle. The idea is to eat fewer than 20 grams of carbs per day putting your body I…

I think when life is stressful I start grasping at things I can control. And it drives me crazy – because there are SO MANY things completely out of my control. You can decide how you feel regardless of your circumstances, and I chose love over everything.  It’s been a tough few months, but I’m…

Weekend warriors A Sunday well spent bring a week of content…or chaos one of those It’s hard to find balance there’s so much to be accomplished on the weekends and I don’t want to sacrifice time with my kids doing fun things too. But we find a way to conquer it all. I ask a lot of…
