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…

Chaga chaga chaga chaga
As I wrote that title I envisioned a little train, chugging along on this quiet, snowy Thursday! But no, today’s post is not about trains. It’s about chaga, the mushroom. I can’t believe I’m even writing this post. I do not like mushrooms. I have never, ever liked them. But the more I immerse myself in…

March Check-in
Even as I write the title to this post, I can’t believe it’s MARCH. These last two and a half months have gone by so quickly. I think it’s because I’ve been working so much. I barely have time to catch my breath, let alone realize what day it is! I have taken an interesting…

Hitting Rock Bottom
Bad days come and go, difficult things happen in our lives, but we work through them. Hitting rock bottom is entirely different. I can pinpoint events in my life that served as catalysts for change. In reflecting on those times, I notice that it was not the great and wonderful events in life that changed me,…

I’ve made some great strides towards bettering myself and creating an even closer relationship with me and my body. Something really big has happened (if you read my blog…

Advocate for Yourself
Being an anxious person with any kind of actual physical health issue comes with it’s own special set of challenges. It could perhaps mean you are going to engage in circular cause and effect arguments with yourself trying to figure out your symptoms. It could mean googling your symptoms until you convince yourself you are…

The Monster
We all have a dark side. To deny that is to deny our very existence. Most of us are very well-rounded beings. That means that each and every one of us represents both sides of the coin; the good and the bad, the light and the dark, the right and the left. I do believe…

What I Lost to Fitness.
I hope you are not confused by the title. I’ve lost good things, and I’ve lost bad things. It’s just change. It’s just life. It’s a part of my journey that I want to share with you. This is what I lost to fitness. I lost that “not caring” mentality. I do care. I care so…

“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…
