    My Current Fitness Inspiration

    I have always had a difficult time sticking to a fitness plan. I have tried several workout programs and some of them I have completed and others didnโ€™t keep my interest peaked enough for me to finish. In the past I have gotten into habits of doing the same types of workouts day after day and would ultimately get discouraged and bored which would then lead me to quit my โ€œplan.โ€ After quitting (again) it would be anywhere from days to weeks until my next workout. If thereโ€™s one thing I have learned after starting and stopping so much, itโ€™s that starting up again after not moving your body for…

    How to Create Your Own Self Care Routine

    It should come as no surprise by now that self-care is really important to me. It is something that I have focused a lot of my attention on over the last year and something that I think is vital to your well-being.

    Reflections and Resolutions

    Happy New Year!!! Reflections It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the years pass and 2017 has been no exception. As this year comes to a close, I can look back on it with fondness and positivity. I began the year with a very significant change when I started a new job at the end of January. Since then I have joined the company as a full time employee and could not be happier with my job and the company I work for. The happiness and fulfillment that I get from my job has inspired and motivated me to go after other long time goals outside of work. This…
