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 […]

Facebook and social media can be sooooo deceptive.  All the happy posts. The happy pictures. The picture perfect poses. It’s like a movie reel of “best of”s. You don’t see the real behind-the-scenes.  The imperfections. The tough times. The sad moments. The angry moments. The fights. The moments we wish we could undo and make […]

Today I finished another 365 day orbit around the sun. Just finished up my 37th year on this planet. Yup. It’s my birthday. 😃 I tend to get a bit reflective around this time. And man has A LOT happened since last September. I completed my first year as an elementary school general music teacher. […]

On the weekends I take time to have fun. Well, as much “fun” as one can have in the midst of wedding planning. LOL! It’s actually not that bad. At all. But I feel like my mind is constantly buzzing with wedding stuff in the background. Because there’s always something to still do, something to […]

I woke up at 4:15 am this morning.  On purpose. I know. Craziness. Why? Because I needed to be at school earlier but still wanted to have time for my morning routine and workout. Turns out the 5:30 am gym vibe is quite different than the 6:15 am vibe. I actually really liked it. Everything I […]

I wake up at 5:00 am every morning. Well, every weekday morning. But trainers at the gym will be the first to tell you that they don’t see me stroll in until around 6:15 am or so. That’s because I have a morning routine. A what? A morning routine. Or ritual, one might say. In […]

Did you know that the average human body is made up of 50-75% water? The human brain is comprised of 75% water. So the benefits of drinking water are pretty awesome sauce. Like, it… Increases energy.  Flushes out toxins. Promotes weight loss. (YEY!) Improves skin complexion. Boosts the immune system. Is a natural headache remedy.  […]

Just do it. Nike got it right. Sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to or don’t really feel like doing. Like waking up early and going to the gym after little sleep. Or walking the dog in the pouring rain. Or waiting in a long line at the DMV. Or in that […]

I have been getting into a little “Pete the Cat” recently.  You know, because I’m an elementary school music teacher. LOL. In particular, “I Love My White Shoes”. You gotta check out this video: Pete the Cat goes walking down the street, wearing his brand new white shoes. Along the way, he manages to step […]
