No More Bat Wings!

There are a few things I'm self conscious about when it comes to my body, and one of the big ones is my bat wings.  Are they super bad?  Not really.  But, it's something that I can start to obsess over when I wear anything sleeveless.  I was hoping to commit to an arm workout routine in preparation for my sister's wedding last December.  But, that didn't happen.  So, now that my bestie has asked me to be in her wedding in the Fall of 2019, I wanted to find a routine that I will actually stick to, going forward. 

I came across Tracey Campoli's YouTube videos a few weeks ago, and am officially obsessed.  Her videos aren't boring like others I've tried, and they're less than 10 minutes a piece!  Plus, two of the videos don't require any weights!  Which, for whatever reason, is a huge selling point for me.

I realize that I should eventually do these routines more than once through as I get stronger, but for now... It's nice to know that I don't have to either give up my existing yoga routine, or find an additional 30 minutes in my day to exercise.

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall.   It’s like a switch was flipped.   The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter.   I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August.   Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.   And, it was amazing.   I’m so excited that fall is here.   I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food.   I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties.   I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!

Forward is Forward

There are definitely days, weeks, or even more extended periods of time when I feel stuck.  I feel like I'm not going anywhere and no matter what I do, and that I'm not making any progress.  But, the truth is, whether we see it or not, every day we get up and continue to work on our goals, is a day that we are moving forward.  We just have to keep persevering despite all the obstacles and distractions.  Think of it this way, we don't value things that come easy!  

Hello October and PSLs!

Now that it's officially October, I'm allowing myself to drink pumpkin spice latte's, and it has truly made my Monday morning a little brighter.  I love how the little things, can make me stop and smell the roses, or coffee, in this case.  It is the start of a new month, and a new week, and for me, the start of quarter end!  I'm going to need a lot more coffee!  LOL. Over the last few weeks, I have really been tested at work.  I can tell that people are being put in front of me so that I can grow and work past some things in my life.  Like, how I can't control everything.  And, no matter what job I work in, there will always be challenging people that I need to work and partner with.   I read something recently that kind of put it into perspective.  Gold, when found in nature, is encased in rock and must be manually removed.  I don't know the science behind it, but these rocks must be crushed, chemically treated, and heated t...
