Hey There 2020!


Oh 2019, what a year! I have to admit, this year taught me a ton, left me speechless at times (I know, stunning right?!), and with some gains as well as losses! I learned how to love myself and see who I am alone, I have ended relationships that were overdue to be ended, and I became a stronger coach with Beachbody! I gained a booty thanks to my amazing workout program and learned how to eat properly! 2019 gave me the strength I needed to end a toxic relationship that was disguised as something much different. The year had it's ups and downs, as does every year, but this one in particular helped me learn what I like and where my future goals lie. I experienced things I thought I wanted and realized where I am heading is exactly where I need to be.

Now that that's over, reminiscing can be fun but I am ready for a new chapter! Oh 2020, do I have something planned for you! I am entering this year on a very different foot, starting today with organizing my goals and strategies. I am wanting to grow significantly this year with my Beachbody crew, with my fitness goals, and with my financial situation. In February, I will be taking a huge step by moving in with a girlfriend of mine. This is first time I will be living with a roommate that is not a significant other!!!  I am looking forward to it!
Speaking of goals, the best way to have them is keep them tangle and attainable as well as making yourself accountable to stay on track! Which is why I have listed them below! This way, I can look back in one year and see my growth with achieving them!

Goals of 2020 (in no particular order):
-Move out into the condo with my roomie!
-Kick ass on the TEAS entrance exam for nursing school
-Apply and (hopefully) get accepted into my desired nursing program
-Build a good amount of savings
-Travel to: NOLA, Nashville, and one place out of the country
-Celebrate my birthday in Nashville
-Go to a Florida Gator game
-Go to a New Orleans Saints game
-Finish Morning Meltdown 100, The Work, and Barre Blend
-Food prep!!! Portion control goals!!
-Workout as many days as I can!!
-Blog at least every two weeks!
-Keep my A1C under 7.0
-Take at least one day a week to myself for self-care, example: go out for drink alone, eat dinner alone, go to the beach or do something outdoors alone, mani/pedi.
-Less social media, put the phone down and experience life

That's a pretty good start if you ask me! I am looking forward to a healthy and happy 2020! I hope everyone has a good idea of their goals and what they want to achieve!!

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...

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...

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...
