While I’m day dreaming of the golden hour paddles, I’m attempting to learn lessons from nature.

Mushrooms
Mario must have been a head of his time. Eating mushrooms to get big, strong and focused. 30+ years later, I’m on board.
Welcomed Death
It started on Saturday morning. Bash woke up not feeling well. He likes to sleep in the bathtub and relax as part of his healing process. I thought he was kidding. He can’t be sick…they don’t have to go to school on Monday. Bash isn’t a faker, at least when it’s not a school day. […]
Solidcore
Today, on my way to a Solidcore fitness class, I realized I’ve never fully emerged myself into the fitness community. I’ve lightly worked out for the majority of my life. My parents had a weight bench and some other weight training items in the basement, that they NEVER used. I used them but didn’t didn’t really […]
What’s SUP?
Yesterday I tried my first ever SUP (Stand Up Paddle board) and because I’m kind of a “Go Big, or Go Home” person I entered a race without ever being on a board before. Granted the race I entered was only a 1.5K but I thought that would be far enough considering I wasn’t sure […]

I was able to prep before the week started. Unfortunately, for me, I did not prep well enough. My partner in crime and I had discussed starting on […]

Before I had kids, I was tone but not really fit because I liked to drink and didn’t eat clean. I ran for cardio and some times lifted tiny dumbbells. Because I always choose salad over pizza I thought I was more fit than most. After I had kids, nursing helped me get to an […]
Persevering
This morning I had a heavy heart. A two pounds heavier heart than I had last week, which made weighing in a difficult thing to take this beautiful chilly morning. I was letting myself get disappointed when I realized something. This is not a quick fix. This not something a band-aid will fix, THIS is […]
#NoExcuses
I was one of those girls you probably hated in high school. Not because I was mean and popular but because I could eat anything and loose weight. I have always eaten whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. When I was pregnant I didn’t look pregnant. My stomach looked more like two chipotle burritos stacked […]
