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!!

Macaroons and Memories

We didn't know we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun In the last two weeks, I've gone back to my hometown for appointments and family events. It is always interesting going back. When I'm at home in O-town, I always feel like I'm missing "back home" and want to return. Then I return and am reminded why we left; there is nothing wrong with where I am from, I just love where I am going! Centennial Park in Downtown Fort Myers My sister arranged with her photographer friend to have some family photos taken. My mom has been dying for them so we appeased her. After all, you never know when you'll have the chance again! We color-coordinated our crazy bunch and they will hopefully be great! The photog sent over some sneak peeks after and they look great so we are looking forward to seeing the rest! My sister and I My mama and her girls Since we live in the theme park capital of the world, we have annual passes to most of the par...

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...

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....
