It's Raining, It's Pouring...

It's a gross, rainy, gray, ugly, and boring Sunday! I'm feeling a bit stir-crazy so of course, I sought out my Pinterest as usual! Looking through the fitness section, I stumbled upon this at-home ab workout. I figured why the heck not!!

The one thing I despise about at-home workouts is the assumption that you have free weights or a workout ball handy. Not so much in my case or probably everyone else's. This is one of the few without that being necessary. I definitely broke a good sweat and felt it in my core!

I haven't done a workout involving timing instead of reps but it definitely whooped my behind!! A post-workout banana and huge glass of water was necessary!!! I love how this took a little bit of time and took my mind off the boredom. The one part of fitness people forget about is how relaxing and tension relieving it can be! With all this house insanity, I really need as much relaxation as I can get!

I saw a post recently on a fitness motivation social media account that alcohol is the most abused form of therapy and exercising is the most underused form. How true is that! After a good workout, things are clearer and better focused, ready for the day or week in this instance. Hopefully y'all try this and feel a little better, especially if you are stuck inside on this Sunday!

Growth, Perspective, and Silence

"Some days, I can conquer the world. Other days, it takes me three hours to convince myself to shower"- the perfect Pinterest quote! This 27th year has been one of growth and reflection. I truly thought looking at 27 year-old people then that by the time I had reached this point that I would be an independent, sexy, confident woman with this spectacular job and a hardworking stud by my side! Some of this came true, but not much! I've got the stud, that's about it! That being said, I came into this year thinking that I knew who I was, where I was heading and that I had a great man to share it all with. One thing that people normally won't tell you is that when your relationship becomes committed and you're around the other person practically 24/7, they begin to see your flaws and, if you're as lucky as I am, they begin to help you become a better person. One thing that anyone who knows us will tell you is that when you meet the beau and I for the first ti...

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

Thirty-Onederful!

Today I turned 31, it was a different birthday vibe than I usually have. Typically, I get really into my plans and can't wait for the day to come. Maybe it is because our plans changed drastically suddenly or because of the imminent threat of the hurricane looming in the back of my mind. But today ended up much better than originally anticipated! Of course, I needed the birthday Snapchat filter! Our plans were to go to Croom which is a motocross park ran by the state. The property used to be phosphate mines in Brooksville, it has since been used for motocross celebs and locals for enjoyment. Last minute, literally 5 hours before we were supposed to head north, the boyfriend tells me that due to the pain in the rump hurricane barreling towards the east coast they are closing the park. Talk about blonde emoji facepalm, ugh!! Now, I do not ride a dirt bike, heck I barely have the coordination to walk and chew gum at the same time. But I enjoy disconnecting, hiking, and relaxin...
