Final Book List for 2022

One of my goals this year was to write a monthly post detailing the books I finished. Since the last book post from May 2022, I haven’t kept up with this goal! A main reason for this is that I really did not get through many books between traveling and delving back into podcasts for…

My Health & Fitness Journey: Part 3

Since I wrote my first and second posts on my Health & Fitness Journey, a lot has changed! I have learned so much about fitness, nutrition, and overall health over the last six-ish years. I certainly do not claim to have all of the answers because in all honesty, no fitness “guru” out there truly…

My Health & Fitness Journey 

Alright. So we are 3 days into 2017 and it’s been a bit rough and tumble over here. Between a sick baby, a 9.5 hour drive, crummy weather, and rushing to get things sorted at home (groceries, laundry, etc.) after a week away, I need a vacation from my vacation. Do ya feel me? Also, since I spent…

Our First 5K: Color Me Rad!

I have never been much of a runner. I prefer elliptical workouts at the gym, but I have opted for running outdoors whenever I lack a treadmill. Several years ago, I injured my ankle while running (a twist injury in a break in the sidewalk) and after the melon-sized swelling went down, my ankle was…
