Movement Motivation

Multi tasking Mom finding daily Movement motivation

Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person’s physical, emotional, and mental states. ~Carol Welch Being a mom keeps me very busy, yet I make it a priority to find time each day for movement.  I am a firm believer that everyone can fit fitness into their ...

Why I love my Body

I didn’t grow up with a huge amount of self-confidence. In fact, I had next to none. I hated pretty much everything about my body and wished daily that I looked like someone else. Oh to have those days back where I could shake some sense into that poor lost girl that I was! Truth…

Crossing Over with CrossFIT

CrossFit

The past few weeks I have had my interest sparked by a simple workout called crossfit.  I have a few friends in my online fitness circle who are avid cross-fit-er’s and the experience has been life changing.  I even have great friends in real life who have been blown away by the changes in their…

Yearbook photo from freshman year (I am bottom central)

I was having a fun conversation with the Fitness Collaborative ladies about high school.  We discussed what we were like in high school.  Thinking back, it is amazing how much has changed… yet how things are still very similar. If a time machine existed and I were given the chance, I would love to …
