“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,…
Commentary From Mile 7
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,…
Love the now
There is no place I’d rather be. Let go of what was. Don’t worry about what will be. Live in the moment and love every. Freaking. second. I’ve been off my morning ritual this week since we’ve gotten back from our trip. I’m so open to new ideas…please feel free to contact me or post…
I am clear
This rain is really messing up my new morning ritual. I’ve so been enjoying sitting on the deck in the morning sun for a few minutes in solitude. Summer has been flying by, and I’ve been enjoying it so. We’ve had some relaxed days at the lake, fun at the beach, adventures – and plenty…
Goal Getter
Goal Getter You don’t drown by falling into the water, you drown by staying there. I want to change everything and nothing all at once. What if things stay the same? What if they don’t? What if? What’s bothering you? What do you want to change? I listened to an audio book…
My why
Sometimes I run to burn off the crazy. I know I’ve said it before, I reach this doormat breaking point. Doing everything, for everyone and realize I’m stuck in this hole and can’t climb out of it and that’s when I realize – I need to exercise. It’s a vicious cycle – Overworked, stressed out,…
Detachment
The biggest failure in any relationship is unsaid expectations. I’m not easy to love. I’m challenging, sensitive, and emotional. I do hold a lot on my shoulders having everyone else’s emotions affect my own. For years I let someone else hold my happiness in their hands – when in reality it has nothing to do…
Do it for you
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…
Keto what?
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…
Two years
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…
