Hello wellness friends, I hope you are taking care of yourself. I wanted to chat with you about persistence.

Set Goals Instead of Making Resolutions
Set Goals, Not Make Resolutions. Every year I draft goals for the year. Goals are more than wishes, desires, or it would be nice. Goals are more than a resolution of “I will do this or not do that.” Goals are measurable and have a plan attached to them. They are measurable. Therefore I use…
Healthy Living-Choose Health!
One of the greatest things about Whole30 was seeing a change in my waistline and skin. The photo above was taken after 3.5 rounds of Whole30. It has not been modified. It just is a selfie taken at a weird angle. The dress I have on I could not wear for a long time. Now…
Cheat Meals

Whatcha Eating?!
Happy weekend beautiful people! I have hit day 16 of whole 30. It’s all smooth sailing from here. The biggest things for me have been finding things I enjoy eating.
