I woke up to a text from a friend yesterday. It was a screen shot of a page from her daily devotion & part of it reminded her of me. A conversation we've had in the past that related to it. She's a very dear bestie of mine & I don't always get to see her, but it was really nice to get a ran...
I have a shelf similar to those in my little closet to hold stuff! LOL!! I hear you though, I have purged, and moved, and rearranged to make it all work!! LOL!! But I am almost POSITIVE that you are just like me when it comes to the paper named after us ... won't use what I have left, and I will keep it forever! :)

"World turns black & white... pictures in an empty room... "
Do you ever sit in the same place every day & stare at an area that is completely uninspiring? Not that every area of my house needs to be inspiring, but it does help if I like to walk into a room. Or in this case, sit in a room. And let's be honest... the sight of my teenage daughter's r...

Stars & stripes forever...
I've decided to stop beginning blog posts with... well, it's been awhile... since clearly it usually has been, so why bother. SMH I can give list of excuses as to why I haven't blogged in awhile. But as with anything I'll likely promote fitness-related... excuses do nothing positive for you....

I have SUCKED at the sleeping part for YEARS now (you remember everyone accusing me of never sleeping??!? LOL!!) -- so I started last week by setting a timer on my phone to ensure I get at least six hours every night. Once that timer has gone off, I head to bed no matter what I am doing. It is MOSTLY working, FitBit says I am now getting about 5.45 hours a night...I guess it measures the times I am restless -- because I don't remember 'waking' up. It's a start, but I am working on it --I don't know how many more years I could average 4.5 hours a night! LOL!!!

Read an article today that I wanted to share regarding fat-loss. Unfortunately there's no magic solution to it or quick fix weight loss diet. There's also no way to spot reduce. In other words... if you're looking to lose belly fat, the biggest way to do that is to change your eating ha...

It never ceases to amaze me how many people are willing to workout on Sunday mornings in Zumba & Piloxing. It's truly impressive & inspiring. When asked if I was interested in adding a 30-minute strength class at 8:30am, I thought it made sense to try it out. I figured a couple people might ...

Stuart Smalley might be a character that got a few laughs, but in all seriousness, he did have some sage advice. Your mind is VERY powerful. Positive thoughts or negative thoughts. You may not always be able to control how your day goes... but you CAN control where your mind goes. You CAN de...

Do you shop online? I've been doing it for years. Like probably since I gave birth and realized it was easier to just sit at home and shop on my laptop than it was to get Bryn ready to go, load up the stroller & head through the mall. Not that I'm lazy necessarily... or maybe I am... but re...

Today I shared a quick at-home workout on The Daily Bloom you can do simply by spelling out your name. Sounds quick & simple, but I can assure you, it will be challenging... especially if your name is spelled with more than just a few letters. Use the chart below to spell out your name while...

Happy 2019!!! Hope your year is off to a healthy start! Mine began with a quick 3 night all-inclusive trip with Bryn to Cancun on New Year's Eve. We left our house at 4am that morning & were at the resort before 2:00 that afternoon. It was the most fun NYE I can remember having in my life....
I got rid of mine before the ink was dry on the papers! LOL!! My circumstances were different though (as they all are! LOL!) -- there was ugliness beyond ugliness with mine, so I was perfectly fine with getting rid of it - plus, we only had Adam between us - and it's not the same to give it to a son from a broken marriage. There is only one thing I kept from our marriage and that was the wedding video, as all of Adam's family attended, including his great-grandmother that passed away when he was an infant, so for that reason I kept it as I wanted him to have that family connection if he wanted to later on in life. And I know what you mean about the ads - they are INSANE -- I will buy something (actually buy it!) online, and the next 15 ads I see are the same thing I already bought! HA!!! Ummmmm ... dear Facebook, I don't need two, I'm good! LOL! :)

I always find it interesting & also very creepy when I've been shopping for a pair of shoes or something online & then that same pair of shoes shows up in my Facebook feed just taunting me. Like... remember me... the pair you wanted to put in your cart? To my knowledge I don't have Faceb...
I can imagine the divorce being that way, I felt the same way with Adam's dad - never easy, no matter what brings it on. I CANNOT believe she is a senior!! WOW!!! That is crazy!! So glad you had an awesome trip (well, minus the sickness! Yikes!!) -- and YAY for making the team again!! Brookie is in 6th this year, and her school only lets the 7th and 8th graders on the 'playing' team, but she is good enough to have been added to the
'practice' team, and she is still on the competitive team at the Y, and will be trying out for a club team in November! Loving all the photos! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that shirt you are wearing in that last photo - that is SO my moto! HA!!!!

Music is so powerful... the feelings it creates... the memories it brings back... it's always been such a huge part of my life. Music was always playing in our home growing up. Even had my own Donny & Marie 45-record player in my room before I could afford to buy a decent stereo. Columbia...

I've had engaging on my mind a lot lately. Rising above & refusing to engage is usually what I feel serves my energy in the best way possible. Call it ignoring, call it moving on with positivity over conflict, call it I'm getting way too old for this... call it whatever you want. Not every...

If you've attended my Zumba class in the last couple weeks, you've done a new routine to No Excuses. As you may or may not know, Meghan Trainor teamed up with Zumba for this song & did a video for it. I've used the choreography from that video with a couple modifications for class as you...
I was the BIGGEST Diet Coke junkie EVER!!! Like people would buy me a 12 pack for my birthday (if that's not telling, I don't know what is!! LOL!!) -- I SWORE I would NEVER give up that habit... I never felt dehydrated etc etc etc. And then one day, I couldn't get enough liquid in me as my throat felt SO DRY!! And yep -- that was it! Diet Coke gone, water came in! And the rest as they say, is history! :)
