Monthly Roundup #1 + Monthly Goals

July 31, 2015

Happy Friday everyone! I can't believe it's almost August already. I am about to sign up for classes for the fall 2015 semester and I'm beyond excited! I've been off of school for close to 3 months and am pretty excited to get closer to graduation.

I decided to start off with something new this week. Every month, I will be uploading a weekly roundup that consists of my favorite posts from the week. A lot of my time is spent reading articles from other bloggers, so I was inspired to start writing posts from my favorite bloggers. I love reading posts that add to my life, make me laugh, and educate me on different topics that I have no clue about.

Below are some of my favorite posts from this past couple of weeks…. Read more

365 Days of Sobriety

July 27, 2015

I am refraining from drinking any kind of alcohol, until July 21st, 2016.

5 Excuses That Stop People From Living A Healthy Lifestyle

July 22, 2015

According to the CDC, in the year 2011, 35% of adults over the age of 20 were clinically obese.

If we were to add being overweight into the equation as well, that would increase the number to a staggering 69%.

So, how are our children in America doing? Well, 17% of children are currently obese.

Understand that I only said obese, and didn't factor in the percentage for how many children were overweight. This number will only increase in percentage from here, but only if we start to take action immediately. By 2030, it's predicted that over 42% of America will be clinically OBESE.

I was inspired to write this post because as a fitness coach and someone who blogs about health on the regular, I'm constantly getting messages from people who want help.

They want to take charge of their life and get healthy, but when it comes down to getting started and changing, people back away and figure out a long list of excuses to keep them from getting started.

Here are the excuses I hear the most, that quite frankly… I'm sick of hearing.

The amount of research I did for what I should pack was abundant, and I still wasn't ready for my trip. The reality is, no matter how ready and prepared you are for a trip, it still won't be enough.

You're bound to forget different items even if you made a checklist months before…. Read more

Why and How You Should Stop Comparing Yourself To Others

July 8, 2015

As I'm writing this post, I'm reflecting on a lot of past thoughts and experiences with comparing myself to others. In reality, I do this often and I get zero benefits from it.

Nada.

None.

This past week has actually been the worst for me when it comes to comparing myself to others. When I feel lost or negative about a certain thing, I end up doing a ton of research and online work to get to the root of my problems and also how I can fix my issues.
