Why Moving Is So Important

Humans were meant to move and be active; it’s how we were made. As time progressed from ancient to modern, we have lost some of our key reasons to why we as a species moved to survive. Technology has made it much easier on our bodies to get from one point to another without having […]

My November Running Playlist + I Did It! #icandothis

I DID IT! Monday’s run was so great — I really tried to stay at a steady pace the whole 47 minutes and I ended up reaching — and exceeding — my goal distance of 4 miles! Wooo! I ran 4.12 miles! That definitely blows away my best time of 3.96! Tuesday night I was […]

Challenging Myself With One Small Change #onesmallchange

I was compensated by Puritan’s Pride for this post.  All opinions expressed here are my own.  A few weeks ago, I shared a little bit about my struggle with getting motivated to exercise and my promise to make one small change by getting back on track with my fitness. Since then, I’ve been trying to up […]

I Pledge to make One Small Change. What’s yours? #OneSmallChange

There is no use in denying it, over the past 2 years,  I have really let myself go. Two years ago, I was going to my favorite aerobics class at least three times a week, taking walks a few times a week and generally keeping myself quite active. These days, I can barely drag myself to […]

I hate you elliptical. A workout whine session.

So, the elliptical machine and I are in a love hate relationship right now. I swear that after 45 minutes of awkward elliptical-ing, I have sweated buckets. Plus, it’s not like I’m taking the easiest program. No, I am not. I’ve tried Cardio, Hill (kill me), strength and interval settings from 30 minutes to 45 […]

Back to reality – plus my Workout Playlist

Everything has been going great with my new workout schedule! Except for the past week of sickness where you’ll notice an absence of working out on my part, blah. I really dislike being sick. Spending the last 4 days or so in my pjs, plus missing a few days of working out really put a […]

Holding myself accountable when Weight & Anxiety hold me back
