I find each one [of my photos] breathtaking because when you look at the beauty of nature you know God is real. Here is the evidence.

I decided [it] was time to realistically look at my life and if that was the right way to spend every day of it
Keywords: personal
I said YES, because training and eating clean made me who I am, BUT from my 26 years old I wanted MORE than being a well trained machine, a sculpted body. I wanted to travel, meet people, have a broader view of options for my future and career. Because I know in the future I might regret it. And those things dont come knocking at your door, not even at the gym’s one lol. So now I’m working on keeping my “dark side” under control, not feeling miserable if I’m not doing 6 cardio a week but 4-5, or if I’m traveling and training won’t be perfect, or if for a night or two I won’t be sleeping, because I will gain something else: memories, life experiences, interesting conversations and meetings, friendship. And I will still be my personal best, just more “complete”.

I wanted to get back to teaching yoga
Keywords: health , meditation , mindfulness , wellness , yoga
but during my time away I had gained some weight. It was not a lot of weight but I was the heaviest I had ever been. I was embarrassed because I felt to teach yoga I should be thinner like I had been in the past. This wasn’t even baby weight. I didn’t gain a lot during pregnancy. The first and third trimesters were rough. What happened were a series of health issues. Even as an adult that knew better I still felt embarrassed about how I looked. This caused anxiety and lots of self doubt. I agonized over any pictures posted to my business social media. I easily talked myself out of creating videos for my YouTube channel.

My children were young, and I wanted to be around when they grow up
Keywords: awareness , blogging , health , inspiration , life , daily writing , effective blogging , healthy-living , running , value of blogging
Invariably during my runs, especially on those long and tedious runs, I discover inspirations from my adrenaline pumped body, environment, or running partners. These inspirations are what I called my Buddha moments. I suppose I could have called them the Eureka moments. But since most of these inspirations are of a spiritual nature, the Buddha won.

I want to create a safe space for people to define who they want to become and then put the steps in place for them to get there (it’s all about habit and lifestyle changes)
Keywords: Coaching , featured , Guidance
As a coach my job is to take you from where you are to where you want to be. In order to do that I have to find out why you haven’t, yet, accomplished this and work our way through whatever is blocking your way. I work to find the right system, the right support and the right accountability to succeed, where as before you may not have tried. It’s all about the baby steps, because if it were easy you would have done it already.

I always knew I wanted to start a family, but as someone who prioritises daily activity, I was worried about how I might continue to maintain my endorphin hungry lifestyle – both during pregnancy, and in my new life afterwards

I did need to keep a check on my training volume whilst the little one grew inside me – and following her arrival, my daily fitness dose has been much more “what’s possible” as opposed to “what’s optimal”. And that’s fine.

I want to be *me* again
Keywords: Daily Life , exercise , fitness , motivation
I was an outdoor leader, a summer camp counselor, a horse logger, an all around stable rat. Even while pregnant, I was sliding 60 pound bales of hay across the snow to feed the horses (much to my midwives dismay). The thought that, post child, I’d have to make a long haul, concentrated effort to regain things like strength and muscle didn’t even cross my fluffy, post college, hormonal mind.

I want a one-way ticket to the land of dance
Keywords: entertainment , lifestyle
Once, many years ago, I was at a club in L.A. A man invited me to dance with him. Ask me his name or what he looked like, I draw a blank. Ask me instead what it felt like to be spun around, light as meringue, never losing a step, never a thought to the next one. Some moments remain imprinted in the body.

I knew I wanted to keep working on myself because it feels AMAZING, inside and out, but that previous part of life was TOO fast paced for me
Keywords: about me , exercise , fitness , healthy , healthy habits , healthy lifestyle , vegan
Everybody is different, but I know a slow, low key, chill lifestyle is for me. (I resonate with all descriptions of a Projector in Human Design). I discovered during the pandemic, especially, that being at home with nowhere to go is my favorite place to be and I strive for that in every day life now as much as possible.

Spending the First Day of 2019 Exactly Where I [Jim] Wanted to Be
Keywords: cycling , fitness , gravel biking , recovery , co-motion tandem , cold , group ride , new years day , windy
It was a mix of tailwind and cross-tailwind all the way home – the wind having shifted to more of a WSW, and that was a welcome change. We rode the back way in to drop Mike and Diane off and pulled for Phill for the last two miles. We pulled into the driveway with a shade more than 25 miles, almost on the nose, on the computer but only 24.6 on Strava GPS and a smile stretched across my face.
