If you've been following me for a while, you may remember that I made the decision to start running last spring. My ultimate goal is to be able to run a 5K. For a while there, I was updating everyone every week with my progress. As you might have noticed, I haven't done one of …

Dealing with Plateaus

Reflecting on a Full Year of Healthy Living
It has officially been a year since I started this journey of healthy living. Whenever I tried to be healthier in the past, it never lasted. I tried to make changes with the best intentions, but I was never able to keep the momentum going. I am both surprised and proud that I've stuck with …

My Thoughts on Body Shaming
Today I wanted to talk about something that I have been thinking about for a while: body shaming. I've mentioned this a little bit in other posts, but I do think it's an important issue that deserves its own post. While we as a society do need to work on being kinder to each other …
