My Fitness Journey
I will never forget this moment... as silly as it sounds, I gave this pic a double take after I took it and remember thinking to myself "whose body is that?!" I was so fucking proud. I'd worn that dress so many times, it is one of my "go tos" but it didn't used to fit...
Me Too
I had on a new skirt, my hair was on point, and I felt great as I entered the arena on the arm of my then longtime boyfriend, Tony. We were there to support a local charity, to socialize with a ton of our friends and business associates, and to watch some police...
Calluses
“Guys don’t like girls with calluses on their hands”. After posting a photo of the proof on my hands that I lift heavy shit and put in the work on my body, I got a message telling me that men don’t like girls with calluses on their hands. I sat there for a minute and...
You Don’t Get To Just Pick One
Why is it much easier for people to implement the rule of "authenticity" into their business (or at least claim to) but they can't seem to put that same sort of naked rawness into their personal relationships? Don't you see the disconnect here? ALL AREAS ARE...
Why The Hell Not?
"Why the hell not?" . Really though? What is stopping you from saying what you want to say? From doing what you want to do? From having what you want to have? From loving who you want to love?. One thing I can say for certain is tomorrow is never guaranteed so LIVE...
Smile
Smile and remember to NEVER let other people dim your light by projecting their own insecurities on you. . Just because someone you care about is all dark and twisty inside doesn't mean that you have to be too. That's not going to help anything or anyone. . Stand true...
Fuck Standing Still
I’m going to be 30 in a few days. 30 years old, it’s hard to believe. It feels like these past 10 years have flown by. To be honest with you, I’ve always felt older. I’ve always been one of the youngest people in every room most of my adult life. So NO, I’m not...
My Goal is to GAIN
Every time I weigh in at the gym and the number goes down, I get pissed. No one around me, except my trainer gets it. They all look at me like I’m crazy... Because apparently since I’m a woman, that must mean I only have goals to lose weight and be skinnier. Nope....
Why I Pay Extra for Uber Black
Yes; just little ol' me, my bookbag, and small suitcase sat in a full size, blacked out Yukon on my drive to the airport today. Yes, it costs about double the price of a regular Uber. Something some people might think is crazy, shit...there was a time I thought it was...
Always Sick…
"Skinny fat"... it's a thing. It's a thing no one thinks is a problem... and for some, maybe it's not...but for me it was a BIG problem. I was always sick. I had no energy. I had zero strength. I could eat more than most grown men I knew but never gained a pound. I...
from me to you
I started writing these pages long before I knew what my life really could be. Maybe I’ve written it into existence, maybe I haven’t…either way this is a collection of my life. All of the stages and everything along the way. Thank you for following along.
