The Ups, The Downs, and Everything in Between
Do you ever have that moment when you can completely shut down your brain and relax? I envy you if you do! I bet most people reading feel the same. We have so many triggers in life! This year I plan to train my monkey brain to settle and focus and also be more mindful of what I’m doing throughout my days. So we are a week into 2019 and my Train the Monkey Brain Plan is … Yep – that is exactly where I …
I debated whether to write this blog post. It’s a weird moment. It’s a shout from the rooftops moment. But I also have reservations. I don’t want to come off braggy. And I certainly don’t want anyone to think I think “my shit don’t stink”. But at the same time, I am really proud of my commitment to my fitness and the strides I’ve made. I will also say, that most days, I don’t acknowledge how far I’ve come or see it. I look at …
So, it’s been a minute! I have had the craziest last couple of months that have really knocked me on my ass! I feel like I am finally coming up for some air, and it is perfect timing, right at the new year. People have such strong feelings about new year’s resolution, have you noticed that? I feel like everyone asks, and you find such a wide range of responses. There are people that feel like coming up with a life changing goal isn’t …
Are you afraid? Do you think you aren’t strong enough? Are you afraid you won’t finish? Are you so sad that you are here and that you let yourself get here? These were all things that would go through my head. For two years I went to the gym on and off. (Hell, let’s be honest, for the last 15 years) I would get dedicated for a little bit, eat okay, and then stop going. I always felt good when I finished. But if I …
Hey HMH Moms and Dads (We know you are out there! Hustling and getting it done!) Happy Wednesday Y’All! Hope you all had an amazing holiday with your families and you were able to slow down a bit and relax before the spirit of the season kicks into high gear. You know what I am talking about! The Holiday Hustle is almost upon us. And it is the most wonderful time of the year, but Oh, Momma, I’m sure we all need a nap! This …
I grew up hating Halloween. I never really had a great costume. I think I was a baby every year. It was an easy costume that required very little money. Costumes were not something we spent money on when I was a kid. And so, all the kids would dress up and look so great and I was always a baby. It included pigtails and pajamas and both were easy and cheap. As I grew older, I remember the haunted houses. My lease favorite place …
One of my old teachers used to say, “to be on time is late, to be early is on time.” After having children I’d like to add: Being on time with a toddler is impressive, being on time with a newborn is a miracle. Monday baby T hits the 2-weeks new mark, which also means I’m entering my 3rd week of leave. It’s been relaxing and a test of my ability to slow down. By nature, I’m a busy and efficient person. I like to …
Got stopped by an unexpected freight train today! Exactly when I didn’t have time for it! Based on the way this week has started, I should have expected it. I feel like I’ve been throw blockers every since I woke up Monday morning. (Yes it’s only Tuesday.) So I found a way to cope. I was right next to a Taco Restaurant. I solved all the worlds problems with chips and salsa. Life it good again 🙂 Well not good quite yet, but at least …
The last few weeks I have found myself in situations where I did not agree with the situation I was in. I felt uncomfortable about how I was being talked to and knew I could not stay quiet. In those situation it is tough for me to speak my mind and I know I’m not the only one out there feeling that way. I’m proud to say that in both situation I found a way to dig deep, speak my mind respectively, and walk away …
