A friend of mine got to pick her son up from the rehab facility at a local hospital this weekend. He wasn’t in for drugs or drinking, like one would imagine, but for depression and an almost attempted suicide. Being the happy-go-lucky type my friend’s kid put on his happy face and went about his days even though […]
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 […]

#truth
There are Fit chicks and skinny chicks, they are very different. The other day a friend of mine and I ran into a super fit chick. It was during a yoga in the park session and this girl wasn’t overly flexible but her muscles were SO toned. After the yoga session my friend and I […]
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 […]

Tracks
I can’t remember the first time I put a penny on a set of train tracks, waited for a train to run it over and then went back to find it. I don’t remember where we were or how old I was but I know my dad is the one that took me. Every time we go up […]
Week One Update
I mentioned last week that I’m a contender in the #OxygenChallenge here’s the update! Week one was surprisingly great! The meal plan was given in advance which was really nice. 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 […]
Change comes from Challenge
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 […]
Positivity Challenge – Fierce Forward Style
I’m pro positivity and have been for quite some time. It’s not an easy feat. In fact it’s a struggle sometimes but all the same it’s worth it. Well, my girl over at Fierce Forward is launching a Positivity Challenge that starts on July 15th. I am SO excited for this, you should head right […]
Unthink
I pride myself on thinking outside of the box. I’ve actually won quite a few contests by thinking just a tad different then everyone else. I like it and it’s fun! A few weeks ago I went to Dallas for a work conference. Going in I thought that it would be full of suits and […]
