#MotivationalMondays- Facts of (My Current) Life & A Workout

#MotivationalMondays- Let’s Talk About Butts, Baby
That small conjunctive word, “but” has existed in my vocabulary since I knew what brussel sprouts were. (Sorry, but I despise them.) The surplus of buts in my vocabulary used to overcrowd my daily sentences…until I realized that the real … Continue reading

#MotivationalMondays- 3…2…1 Workout
Wanna know something shocking? The noun race and the pronoun of “I” have never been in the same sentence together. When it comes to races, running, and pronouns, I usually let the “he”, “she”, “we”, or “they” take the spotlight. … Continue reading

#MotivationalMondays- Push Yourself Workout
One of the most cliched phrases when it comes to fitness and working out is, “Push Yourself.” It’s simple, narcissistic, and most of all- true. Every time I work out, I create tiny personal goals inside my head. “Just one … Continue reading

#MotivationalMondays- Three’s A Charm
Bad things come in three’s. They always have. When I had three goldfish, one of them died within two weeks. When I dabbled with softball, the number I was ordained was “3“, which then resulted in a big welt to … Continue reading

#MotivationalMondays- The “Countless” Workout
From a young age, we are taught to count sheep, lunch money, and among other things, that we have ten fingers and ten toes. My favorite use of numbers was always during snack time. Before I understood the minus sign, … Continue reading
