Don’t worry, this post isn’t really about the scale or how I’ve gained 10 pounds, so stick with me, please. I know that it may not be the best habit, but for the last several months I’ve been weighing myself daily. It’s not for any particular reason other than curiosity, and I guess my scale-watching…

Learning to Accept Your “Shadow Self”
The other day I was listening to an episode of Maddy Moon’s Mind Body Musings podcast called “Why You Should Bring Your Shadow Self Into The Light.” It was a great episode—especially since I recently read Brene Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection* which talks a lot about the relationship between perfectionism and shame. Defining The…
Can too much of a good thing be a bad thing?
Hey guys—coming at you late on this fine Thursday! So, the idea for this post came to me after I’d decided to take a break the rest of the week when I realized I didn’t have anything prepared. Funny, those spontaneous, thinking out loud ramblings are sometimes the most relatable. I’ve been feeling rather anxious…
I Think I Might Be Over Group Fitness
Last night I attended a group fitness class that I haven’t been to in ages. The instructor is a great, sweet person—and she’s incredibly fit and encouraging—but sometimes I feel like her classes may not be the best fit for me. In fact, I think I might be over group fitness.
Currently // March 2017
Hey guys! I had no intention of skipping February’s “currently” post, but those short months tend to flyyyyy right by, don’t they? And here we are nearing the end of March! I haven’t really had a whole lot on my mind lately, so I figured today was as good a day as any to give…
Lessons in Perfectionism (It’s OK to Make Mistakes!)
Do you have a good memory? I can’t always remember what I ate for dinner the night before or what we did last weekend (#mombrain), but there are certain memories from decades ago that stick out to me. I guess everybody is like that? Anyway, I can’t recall (go figure) what provoked the resurfacing of…
Lent Isn’t Just About Fasting
Ash Wednesday has come and gone, and the season of Lent is upon us. I didn’t grow up participating in the customs of Lent, and I generally believe that one’s religious commitment to fasting or self-improvement is something personal that shouldn’t be broadcast all over social media. Nevertheless, I’ve been thinking of the whole idea…
It’s Time To Talk About… (NEDA Week)
February 26-March 4 is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week (NEDA Week). While I’ve never struggled with a diagnosable eating disorder, I’ve lived my fair share of body image issues, food-induced guilt/fear, and unhealthy “habits.” Because so many women (and men) struggle with these same issues, I believe it’s important to share our experiences and how we’ve…
Am I A Healthy Living Blogger?
When I started my first blog, I was bored and unfulfilled. I fondly remembered the days of Live Journal, but I didn’t even know that blogs were A THING until I stumbled upon a few recipe blogs (namely Oh She Glows and The Full Helping—both of which I still read). From there, I discovered the…
When To Stay On Brand And When To Speak Out
The last couple of weeks I’ve been thinking about blogging as a general idea. Let me preface this post by saying I’m lucky. I blog as a hobby, and my income doesn’t depend on whether I post 3 outstanding recipes or DIY projects during any given week. I blog for you guys because I love…
