Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 1
Hello beautiful humans. I’m here to recap the first week of my transformation challenge! I am almost astonished to say that this week, diet was easy. I enjoy healthy nutritionally dense food, so most of it has been a walk in the park. That being said, I haven’t gone “all out” on the dieting yet. I’m…

I can’t carry all these rocks.
Imagine that all of your priorities are like rocks. You have big rocks, like work, parenting, being a good partner, and good pet owner.

Moving Forward (onward and upward)
I’ve made my share of mistakes in life. I’ve said the wrong thing, done the wrong thing. I’ve acted selfishly. I’ve had one too many drinks before and thanked the lord I woke up safely in my home. I’ve blown up in anger, I’ve missed opportunities, I have been stubborn once or twice in my…

“I Have Anxiety Too”
Yesterday, a man and I began talking about protein. He told me : “I can’t take that powder because it triggers my anxiety”, and was quick to apologize with, “sorry, is that too much information?” I could have said no and brushed it off. But I was intrigued. Intrigued because I know exactly what it’s…

Never give up on your dreams (ever).
What is your limit? When do you decide that it’s time to “throw in the towel” on that thing you’ve been working towards, you know, because it’s not ‘working out’. There is no line drawn in the sand, no official end etched in stone. It’s up to you. When it gets hard, we always want…
