This life is such a blessing! It amazes me, how every decision that I make leads to yet another blessing from God
After Scott passed away, I didn’t know how I could make my life out on my own. And rather than leaning on friends and family, I did it on my own through hard work!
The gift of hard work, and the confidence it has brought within myself to provide for not only me and my daughter but also be a support for Cason and his kids is something I am so proud of! Let me say that again… so proud!
Sure, I could’ve lived with my mom and had her help and had her support, but I chose to leave everything that I knew because growth happens when we are uncomfortable. An opportunity presented itself. I took it. I needed it and the blessings continue because of it.
One year ago today I finished my 15 mile race with a broken foot and even more so a broken spirit. Today I ran, and it was glorious as it has been all year. I’m so thankful for every setback to branch new growth!

I haven’t ran this far since before I was pregnant with Lily. That’s over 5 years!!! It’s so fun seeing my strength come back and feeling good on my runs! And the temp coming down 20 degrees was a nice touch!! #29%humidity

Trail running is getting so good again! Love feeling the strength come back, each run gives me more motivation… snow ball effect of getting it back!

Over this past year I have struggled with the motivation to stay committed 100%. I’ve done great here and great there. Even with half the dedication I wanted I still have came along way these last 18 months. I’m excited to keep reaching toward my goals and feeling better each month over time.
Losing weight after pregnancy can be challenging and frustrating since we can no longer focus on ourselves as #1. Add a C section on to the recovery and it was depressing... how could I have gotten myself in this mess with my eating I thought. Being pregnant I didn’t eat good and I knew what I was doing... I just had no idea how difficult the journey after would be! After my baby was born I had an additional 42 pounds to lose. I have 13 left!! So close and that during year 1 of COVID-19. We can do anything we set our mind to as long as we keep plugging along even when we fall off.
Focusing on the long road instead of what I see right in front of me has shaped me in more ways than I expected. I’m sure happy about my progress, after all progress not perfection.
