Start Somewhere: The End of a Series and What’s Next

I was thinking the other day about several different series of posts I’ve done on the blog, and y’all? I don’t think I’ve ever officially ended a series. They usually just kind of fall off the face of the blog as I drift into busy work and life seasons and forget the direction I was going with a particular subject. I won’t say it’s bad – because it’s how life has gone and I’m not about to revisit the past – but just an interesting observation.

 

I have some changes coming up in the next few months that I’ll keep y’all updated about, but in the meantime I thought I would officially end a series for the first time EVER on this blog! Guys, this is ground-breaking. And I’m so glad you could be part of it!

 

When I initially started this series I was in pursuit of losing baby weight and getting back on track with eating well after the initial first few months of A’s life. As you all know, having a baby is a major life change and I was purely in survival mode for a long time while we were adjusting to the initial change of having two kids. I wanted to lose weight, yes, but more than that I wanted to re-install some healthy habits in my life so that I could feel better, stronger, and have more energy too.

 

While I can’t say that everything is perfectly recalibrated, it is certainly better and not something that I feel warrants a series anymore. BUT the continual pursuit of healthy living and finding that balance is a lifelong journey. As the seasons ebb and flow, so will the balance between eating well and moving strong. It’s a journey that I hope to continue to share on here with you guys, but I will be incorporating it into the regularly scheduled programming if you will. There won’t be a set day that I blog about it anymore, but I will be sharing the day-to-day over on Instagram and the more notable parts here on this corner of the internet.

 

So to cap this all off? I’m feeling super strong thanks to Fitness Blender workouts – I will continue to use these as long as they continue to challenge me! And we are definitely still adopting healthier habits from our Whole30 journey – eating a lot less sugar, eating a lot more veggies, and eating carbs in moderation. It’s a journey, but one that we’re happy to continue on in the hopes of living out a healthy lifestyle for our boys.

 

Thanks so much for joining in on this series guys! And as always, please send questions whenever – I love hearing from you and promise to be transparent!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Affirmations for YOU today. Even when you don’t Affirmations for YOU today. Even when you don’t feel it, these are truths that I’m holding for you. ❤️
3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog 😂 Who else feels me here? 🙋🏼‍♀️ #dogdays #2020mood
