So this morning as I'm working out in the gym - in fact showcasing moves and creating videos for my instagram story - I had to laugh. There were like five people nearby who I'm sure knew that I was making a video. And I do believe the 4/5 of them were guys. Years ago you would not catch me DEAD doing this. How embarrassing right? So how have I gotten over it? How did I even know where to START in the weight room? How have I figured out how to get in an efficient and most importantly SAFE workout?

Looking for a good read?

You best believe these cookies happened and I LOVE them. Love them. Soft. Chewy. Plenty of Chocolate and don't forget the SEA SALT on the top!

Ok - the last couple days has been on the go - but all good stuff (can you tell? um...I mean I did start with COOKIES!)

Time to challenge myself to share more. Here goes nothing....

Fall is here! OK well not OFFICIALLY... but Labor Day weekend always gives me all the feels of fall. It's bittersweet. I love the layers, boot season, plaid and don't forget the amazing bath and body works FALL SCENTED candles!

You know what ELSE is EVERYWHERE right now and is ONLY going to become more prominent?

SQUASH!

Just further proof that I truly am a dork and fly that freak flag high ... But seriously...these balls are amazing

hand on head because I rocked a tough workout yesterday (Sunday) - The Shift Shop's Super Speed 50 - and you know what? it was challenging, but not NEARLY as tough as I made it out to be in my mind!! - Challenge yourself yo.

Ok on to the good finds!

holy smokes how is it friday already? but really. thank the lord. This week has seemed long...IDK why? but I guess there will be weeks like that! Here is what has been the happenings!

Shared some thoughts on my fitness page...you can find my page HERE

Had some thinking today during my workout... dude i was sweating my lady balls off (ha!), my heart rate was in the 160s and man was it challenging but it really wasn't hard. Hear me out.

so many times you start a new nutrition program, workout routine or other healthy change for the goal to make changes to your body... and years ago when I started running I would be lying to you if I said I hadn't hoped for that. But now it's different. I've been doing a workout program called Shift Shop the last few weeks and just yesterday I looked in the mirror and saw a huge change. I could seriously cry.
