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.

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years.  Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use.  Until then... these are just amusing.

Embrace Being Uncomfortable

We’ve all heard it before, “ Life isn’t always comfortable.”   Even if the change is a positive one, like eating healthier… it’s still not comfortable.     I’m in the process of buying my first home, and while I’m so happy and excited, I’m also really nervous and scared.   I would like to think I’m ready for the additional challenges and responsibilities of owning my own home.   But, what if I’m not?   Big life changes can be really nerve-racking!   But, I’m finding familiarity with being uncomfortable.   And, I actually take that to be a good thing.     If we get too comfortable, there is no growth, and if there is no growth, then we are just slowly dying. So, this week, embrace being a little uncomfortable.   It’s how you know you’re changing!        

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something.  In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are.  Remember you are not alone.  Struggling is a part of being human.  Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have.  Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better.  You are better today, than you were yesterday.  Just keep going!  Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.
