Is The Grass Really Greener ?

I am all about comparing to my sibblings, and I will be the first to admit that I am the worse at it. And if you think I am bad with my sibblings, just think how much of a struggle it is, not to comapre in the box.
Just like I tell my pre schoolers to focus on myself, I need to focus on myself. Not in a narccistic kind of way, but in a humble kind of way. Be happier for others. That is a goal. Call me selfish, but this is such a weakness. I always wish for things that I dont have down yet.  I remember when 17.2 rolled around and I was a baby to Crossfit. I remember freaking out, thinking there is no way in Hell I can do a chin up. Then once I got up on that bar all the sudden my chin was over the bar and it was an "Aha' moment.
The more  I did Crossfit, the more I understoood that there your own strengths are some that others wish were there strengths. And thats okay. But what is not okay, is to give up. To give up compeltley because you can not get a movement on a lift, or cant get a muscle up in your third year. You can't give up. Its crucial to keep going even in the small moments of doubt and failure. I have been there. and I promsie you the more you keep going. The more you can conquer what you set out to do.

No the grass is not greener,

WTF

Here me out, I know what your thinking, not another mom blog & please no fashion because lets face it can we really afford a two hundred dollar Kate Spade purse? And how are these people traveling? Ha. I won't try to sell you anything or beg you to click on my ads. So, what is this blog for? What is the purpose? Let me explain. We live in a world that is full of stuff. I try not to get too into labels, I try to be as genuine as possible. I do not have everything together, and that is okay. I have learned to love the little pieces of the imperfect parts of me. Which took me a long time to really love what I have become, and enjoying moments, not things. The purpose of this blog is to be relatable to average human beings. There were a handful of times, where I wish I could click on a blog maybe have a little laugh, or when I first had my baby and I was awake in the wee hours of the night, to have a little entertainment of what reality looks like; the good, the bad, the ugly...

Mirror, Mirror, WTF

We all have these moments of hate towards our body. As much as I really would love the amount of confidence that Connor Mcregor has in his down talk game, towards the other fighter, I would love that same game, but with my body. Not to be so hard on myself, I have come along way. I am committed to my fitness. Currently, I am involved in a competitor class and I feel so much stronger, then the usual hour of just weight lifting and metcons. I shy away from mirrors. I lack confidence, hard. Not to feel sorry for myself, but I always feel like the ugliest, most fat girl in the room. Luckily, I have the sweetest husband in the world, to always build me up, when I feel low. I think of Connor as an example of confidence, because he really does not give two shits of what people think about him. He knows what his purpose is, and he fights for that purpose, literally. As the new year is approaching I have a lot of insight of who I want to be, what I want to change and not  because the Ne...
