Embrace the Journey

There are multiple reasons why I wanted to start this blog. The first is to have a tangible record of my accomplishments and struggles to look back on when I feel less than satisfied with things in my life. We all learn from our strengths and weaknesses but only if we remember what did and didn't work. I'm in search of my HEALTHY place.....physically, mentally and emotionally. I have tried too many times to "reset" my life and say "this is going to work this time for me, because x, y, and z." I'm tired of finding a quick fix or shortcut that only leads me to temporary satisfaction. I'm not just talking about my body, cnsiderig this is a fitness blog. I want to find ways to nourish my mind and soul that wiill help me be the best mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and employee. More importantly, I want to be happy with all of the ups and downs that are apart of me and make me who I am. I want to stop being so hard on myself and enjoy what life has given me. I have the ability to make any changes in my life that don't suit me....I'm not aiming for perfection, just a better version that will encompass my talents. Which brings me to the second reason for starting this blog.

I think it's important to not look at the end result. In doing so, you can get so wrapped up in that image and then quickly become upset when it doesn't turn out to be what you thought. It's better to enjoy the journey and strive for progress not perfection. We can learn something new everyday and that's what life is about.....learning, growing, and teaching is what makes us a better person, not what we end up becoming. I want to share my journey of finding my HEALTHY place with you as I work, train, parent and everything in between. Life is not perfect and we have to be able to adapt and change, the trick is how well we can do that while keeping everything else in tact. My hopes are to help someone else who may feel the same struggle or just looking for some growth of their own.

Lastly, I wanted to have a place where I can post anything and everything I want related to health & fitness and how it impacts my life. I don't want to bore those that don't have the same goals or lifestyle. I will have everything here in one place for those who are interested and share the same dreams and not subject everyone on social media to my life when they could care less. With that said, let's get into the details about my dream to step on stage with the best version of myself!
