Welcomed Death

It started on Saturday morning.  Bash woke up not feeling well.  He likes to sleep in the bathtub and relax as part of his healing process. I thought he was kidding.  He can’t be sick…they don’t have to go to school on Monday.  Bash isn’t a faker, at least when it’s not a school day. […]

Solidcore

Today, on my way to a Solidcore fitness class, I realized I’ve never fully emerged myself into the fitness community.  I’ve lightly worked out for the majority of my life.  My parents had a weight bench and some other weight training items in the basement, that they NEVER used.  I used them but didn’t didn’t really […]

What’s SUP?

Yesterday I tried my first ever SUP (Stand Up Paddle board) and because I’m kind of a “Go Big, or Go Home” person I entered a race without ever being on a board before.  Granted the race I entered was only a 1.5K but I thought that would be far enough considering I wasn’t sure […]

Persevering

This morning I had a heavy heart.  A two pounds heavier heart than I had last week, which made weighing in a difficult thing to take this beautiful chilly morning.  I was letting myself get disappointed when I realized something.  This is not a quick fix.  This not something a band-aid will fix, THIS is […]

#NoExcuses

I was one of those girls you probably hated in high school. Not because I was mean and popular but because I could eat anything and loose weight. I have always eaten whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. When I was pregnant I didn’t look pregnant. My stomach looked more like two chipotle burritos stacked […]
