My Autocorrect Always Replaces "Zumba" with "Samba."

The title has nothing to do with this blog. It's just starting to get on my nerves because now I find myself typing "Zumba" all the time. May I just say, YAY ZUMBA. I have discovered my new way of getting wedding skinny! Well, maybe not skinny, but smaller than I am now. At the end of the workout, we were stretching and my sweat dripped on the floor infront of me when i bent over. THAT is a good workout to me!
(Megan Hannah, Snap Fitness, Winfield, WV, 7:00 T & Th, 10:00 Sat! <- thats my little advertising plug because I love this place so much, as if it's not obvious by looking at my facebook and twitter lol)
Anywho, I was always a little skeptical about Zumba. I mean, it's been around for a few years and I just tried it for the first time yesterday! I always thought that I wouldn't like group classes, and I also thought that I wouldn't like jirating around like that without a drink (or ten, lol). Turns out that it isn't so bad, since the older women around you are usually jirating much worse than you are haha ;). I love it though! It's a super fun workout, and it sure beats the hell out of running on the treadmill. (Ohhh, I loathe the running. The 5K resolution was a terrible idea.)
The best part was seeing some people that I like, but never get to see outside of facebook and twitter! Megan, Lindsay, and Nikki are always fun to be around, and of course Helen was gettin' it in the back! I'm sure zumba will give way to LOTS and LOTS of good Helen stories! Yesterday was her "29th" (psht) birthday! (She would kill me if I told her real age, but she looks good!!) Of course, Helen told everyone it was her birthday, (and they wonder where I get it from lol), so Megan gave her a Zumba bracelet, and Chris, the COO of Snap (I think?) gave her a Snap t-shirt, both of which prettttyyy much made her day! Good marketing skills! :) So a special thanks to them!

Stop Ghosting Yourself

Let’s be honest. Do you know anyone who isn’t busy? Probably not.  WE ARE ALL BUSY. Kids, spouses, pets, jo bs, extracurriculars, birthday parties, vacations, sick/injured family, etc. We all have full plates, chores to do, and grocery orders to pick up!  I don’t like to start a blog post with tough love, but I think it’s necessary today!  Truthfully, if this hurts your feelings, you probably need to hear it. You are not too busy to take care of yourself. I’ll say it again. YOU are NOT too busy to take care of YOURSELF. I know you. You get lunches packed and kids off to school. You work hard at your job. You go to the grocery store, the post office, work the concession stand at the ball game. You come home, help with homework, cook dinner, give baths, and do the bedtime routine. Oh then, you pick up the house. Everyone around you is taken care of and happy as can be…but where does that leave you? How do you feel? If I had to guess, I’d say you are happy that your family is happy, but s

My Secret Sauce

I think you know by now that I am pretty candid about what’s going on in my life. Consequently, I am also candid about what’s going on in the lives of those around me.  So, here’s a quick update to bring everyone up to speed who maybe haven’t watched my stories and posts as diligently as I would like...  Matt has been experiencing a lot of pain, and recently had a surgery in an attempt to relieve that pain. The jury is still out on whether or not there is improvement because, much like when you do a simple home repair, you fix one thing, 3 more pop up. He also started a new chemo this week. It has definitely felt like a super steep uphill battle the past few months, but I will go more in depth with everything another day. Logan is almost 1. He is walking, talking, and destroying constantly. I am still working from home full time. Both a blessing and a curse for many reasons. I started a thing called 75 Hard, at which I initially rolled

Happy C-Section Awareness Month!

Image
I recently learned that April is Caesarean Section awareness month. I had never given it much thought, but now, having experienced it myself, I feel the need to celebrate the c-section mamas. In movies and TV shows, there is always that beautiful birth moment - you know the one. The crying, sweaty, exhausted mama feels she can’t go on. Then someone holds her hand and gives her the encouraging speech she needs for one last push. Just then, you hear the unmistakable sound of a newborn baby crying as they place him or her on the moms chest. *cue music* Now, I don’t know if that’s really how it goes or not because I never made it there!  My doctor knew Logan was going to be a big boy, and suggested that I schedule a c-section.  I thought to myself “noooo way! (That’s scary.) You are not taking my beautiful, made-for-movies moment away from me! (Also, I’m scared.) You don’t know what I’m capable of, lady! (Petrified of that option actually.) I’ve got this!!” You guys, I didn’t have it. I di
