Live It Well

"Life is short, I want to live it well, one life, one story to tell."  -Switchfoot

What do you do when you are unhappy with where or who you are? You are grumpy, uncomfortable, lazy, sad, tired, depressed, and just going through the motions. This was me almost a year ago. I was tired of having hives and not knowing why. I was grieving the loss of my Grandma and Uncle, but trying to find the joy in everyday life. All of this made me grumpy and lazy. I didn't like my attitude and I didn't like where I was and who I was becoming. I didn't want my kids to look back on their childhood and remember a grumpy uncomfortable mother.

I changed. I dedicated myself to eating better to see if the hives would lessen and I started 21 day fix. I decided that I was determined to live a better, happier, healthier life. It has been one exciting adventure. I found that with a lot of prayer, determination, dedication, consistency, and healthier choices one step at a time, can get you places you never thought you would be. I still get hives, but those days are so incredibly fewer. I went from having hives every single day to a couple of times a month. I did a Whole 30 and learned a lot about food and how I respond to it (emotionally as well). Right, now I am doing a program that years ago I would never have even given a second look. I am working on sculpting muscles and abs. What? Yes. So much yes. Master's Hammer and Chisel.

My motto right now is Live It Well. I want to Live It Well in all aspects of  my life. Mind, body, heart, and soul, I want to live it well. I want to find the balance with my food, with prayer, with exercise, and spending time with my family. Living it well, gives me a better attitude, more energy, and helps me find my joy, releasing my anxieties.

Live It Well,
