Alright, alright FINE.Have you ever asked God something but not liked the answer? For months I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to share this publicly. I’ve been beating around the bush, afraid to commit, so I asked Him about it recently. A few days ago he placed multiple things in my life allContinue reading “Finally Committing- An Announcement”

Update on the Last 3 Weeks
Today was the last day of my favorite program so far! I start the more advanced version of it tomorrow, but wanted to take a minute to appreciate and realize how far I’ve come in just 3 weeks (+ even while I had to take a break while I was sick!)– I beat my scoreContinue reading “Update on the Last 3 Weeks”
The Struggles on My Fitness Journey
No one’s journey is easy. I went from being a year-round athlete in high school to being sick in bed for months and losing my muscle mass. I spent a gap year overcoming that obstacle and lifting weights so I’d never look like that again. I went from working out over an hour a day,Continue reading “The Struggles on My Fitness Journey”
Does it Really Matter to You?
“I don’t have time”, ”I’m tired”, “I can do it later”, were just a few things I’d tell myself when I thought about working out. But in reality they were just excuses cloaking the fact that working out wasn’t a priority. I didn’t want it enough. I said I wanted to be fit, but IContinue reading “Does it Really Matter to You?”
How to Change your Life
It’s the small, daily changes we make that change our lives. Trying to save $10,000? Start by saving $4/day (your morning coffee). Want to run a marathon? Start by walking a mile a day. Want to eat healthier? Start by removing soda from your diet. I’ve always believed you’re more likely to stick with somethingContinue reading “How to Change your Life”
Why our Marriage and Wedding were Different
One year since we celebrated. Two years of marriage. Eight years of long distance. Ten years together. When we got married in 2018 and celebrated it a year later, it was unusual. Due to Marcus’s job, we didn’t have time to plan a celebration before he left, but we wanted to close the distance forContinue reading “Why our Marriage and Wedding were Different”
How We’re Surviving Quarantine Together
This is by far the longest we’ve been together “non-stop”. We’re used to long distance and work-related travel separating us frequently, so Corona has been a blessing and honestly a bit of an adjustment. One thing I’ve found to be super important is for each of us to have our own things to keep usContinue reading “How We’re Surviving Quarantine Together”
No Makeup Mondays
In high school my friends and I used to do “no makeup Mondays”. It was a way to embrace our natural beauty (and save ourselves time in the morning!). Admittedly, I only wore mascara most days (that’s still the case, or at least was before quarantine), but I loved going natural once a week toContinue reading “No Makeup Mondays”
Be Proactive
I have news for you- If you’re waiting, there will NEVER be a “perfect” day to workout. You’ll always find something else to fill that time instead. You need to be proactive. Schedule it into your day. Be willing to make a sacrifice to get it done- the other day I left a brunch earlyContinue reading “Be Proactive”
Have you heard of Sandra Bland?
Institutional racism has been happening for all of America’s history, and yet I was oblivious to it until fairly recently. Even after I started dating Marcus, I wasn’t aware how much African Americans go through in this country. This was especially obvious to me when I rented “Talking to Strangers” by Malcolm Gladwell a fewContinue reading “Have you heard of Sandra Bland?”
