As I was rummaging through my gym bag for my music and gloves this morning, I was bummed to find that I had forgotten to pack my workout gloves. Homer Simpson moment. DOH! And I knew exactly where they were. Sitting on top of the washing machine in hopes of being washed, all stinky and […]

T.G.I. freakin’ F. MAN, what a week. Sometimes I literally feel like this scene from Kindergarten Cop: I don’t know what it is. Full Moon? Kids being kids. The constant low level chatter just gets to me… I would love to do this. Ha ha! Not really. That would get me fired. LOL. I do […]

I’ve decided to start dedicating my Thursday posts to a “Throwback” theme. Woohoo! More #tbt in your feed! 😉 I’m considering competing again once the craziness of wedding planning has subsided (woohoo!), and it got me to thinking about my competition prep experience. I haven’t competed since November of 2014. It’s been awhile! I actually […]

It is exactly two months until our wedding. Eeeeeeeeeeek! I am both excited and overwhelmed by all that still needs to be done. But mainly excited.  I CANNOT WAIT to marry this man. 😃  That being said, my head is constantly full of wedding “noise.” A lot of chatter.  It’s like an ongoing buzz. White […]

Man, this world can be a scary place.  You just look at the news and it blows your mind away. Natural disasters.  Shootings. Deaths. Lots of them. It’s hard to not start living from a place of fear. Fear of going out. Fear of doing anything. Fear of living your life. But is that really […]

Do you ever feel like you life is out of control? Like, totally chaotic?  I have been feeling a lot of that. Mainly at school. And in other areas of my life. Probably because I work 1 1/2 jobs and am planning a wedding. LOL. And it’s not even “controlled” chaos. It can be pretty […]

I have a lot going on right now. A lot I could get worked up about. And in all honesty, I do to some degree. Get worked up, I mean. But I am trying really really hard to just let it go as soon as I can. Feel what I need to feel. Have my […]

There are certain things I do every day. Even when I don’t feel like it. Working out is one of them. “I’m too tired…” “I’m sore…” “I have my monthly visitor…” (right, ladies? UGH.) But there is something about being consistent. It creates habit. Like writing this blog. I really really didn’t feel like writing […]

I’ve been spending a lot of time picking out music for my wedding and have come up with a pretty cool piano “playlist” for the prelude and processional. Totally excited about it! But it got me to thinking about what I listen to when I workout. It’s funny, I listen to very different music when […]

People often ask me what my diet is like and what I eat every day.  I’m a creature of habit. So when I was in competition prep and having to eat the SAME THING EVERY DAY, it really didn’t bother me all that much. I have kind of kept to that routine but am not […]
