Learn to love the life you have now! Change what you can, and accept what you can’t! There was a time when I was constantly looking to the future, and even to the past. I thought that my life wasn’t good enough right where I was. I was dissatisfied, and just completely miserable, when I …
Life These Days
Good grief, it has been a while since I've posted on here! Too long of a while, for sure! This year has brought a lot of change so far. I started going back to school, after five years off, which has kept me pretty busy. It has definitely been an adjustment getting used to balancing …
Those Healthy Food Vibes
Life has been SUPER busy the past few months, and I have realized that I haven’t been taking care of myself like I should. Whenever I get stressed, I tend to skip meals or just eat whatever is quick. I have been doing a lot of this, which then of course leaves me with little …
6 Tips for Dealing with Setbacks

Lots of Progress!
I have been meaning to post this for a while now, but life has been a little crazy lately, but better late than never! About two weeks ago, Chance went on the lunge line, for the first time in I don't know how long, and he was so much better! He was not quite 100%, …
Good Vibes Only
Something magical happens when you choose to see the good in your life, and the world around you. There is always something to be grateful for. Choosing to see the good, and make the best of things, has helped me through a particularly tough year with Chance being off. This year has not gone the …
Rise Anyway
I couldn't tell you how many setbacks, disappointments, and failures that I experienced in my life. I couldn't tell you how many times I have thought about just giving up on the things that I want. Or how many times that I have been so afraid to try again, or head out on a new …
Shift Shop
I am right in the middle of one of Beachbody's newest workout programs, Shift Shop! Think agility drills, and killer cardio, with weight training. It's tough so far, but I am already feeling (and seeing) results! There are two rounds in the calendar, each three weeks. The workouts increase in time each week, and build …
