Taking A Break From Blogging

Hope you are all well. I have been taking a break from blogging for awhile, due to not feeling well. I know you all know I struggle with depression, but I have also had some health issues that I am trying to get worked out. I have been going to the doctors to find out what is going on. It is just kind of a waiting process. I have been trying to not worry to much, but of course that is hard to do. I have been trying to stay positive. Worrying doesn't seem to get me very far, except make me feel worse. How do you handle stress about your health? Do you have coping mechanisms that seem to help you? If you have any advice I would love to hear it. Wishing you all Happy Holidays!

Fitness Friday: The Power Of Interval Training

Happy TGIF, today is fitness Friday. I just wanted to let you all know the power of interval training. Even if you are new to fitness, anyone can do interval training. It is all about pushing and recovering. For example, If you are just starting out on your fitness journey and you have decided to start walking. When you go for your walk you would walk fast for 3 minutes then walk slow for 1 minute. These are intervals, you would do the same if you like jogging, jog fast for 3 minutes then walk for a brisk minute. Intervals are a great way to lose weight and get a very effective workout in less time. The same people you see at the gym doing their hour of cardio on the treadmill, could get better results by doing intervals for 30 minutes. Interval workouts help your body burn 30% more calories than exercising at one set pace and can increase your metabolism for up to 12 hours. As always, get permission from your doctor before starting any exercise routine. Have a great weekend!

A Thank You To My Followers

Accomplish A Goal One Baby Step At A Time

Hi, I just wanted to share a great website with you all. I have joined a website called stikk.com it is really cool. If you have a certain goal or anything that you have been trying to accomplish, this is the perfect way to do it. No, I am not a spokesperson for the site. One of my twitter friends recommended it to me. I thought, why not try it. My small baby goal is to drink 3 glasses of water for 1 day. I know that you are probably laughing right now, right? Yes, I absolutely can't stand drinking water. I am a total Pepsi girl. I mean regular Pepsi, not that diet stuff. I just committed to sticking with 3 glasses because I am easing into drinking water. I know it is one of the best ways to nourish your body and to keep healthy. It is really neat because you put yourself out there by donating your money, limit $5.00. If you do not accomplish your goal, the money will be sent to a charity or a friend. I think it is a great way to be held accountable for anything you want to get done. Well, enough rambling on for now. Thanks for reading!

Trying To Find My Life Purpose At Age 36

I have been thinking all day about what my life purpose is. It is constantly on my mind. I feel as though the clock is ticking for me for some reason. I guess, I am just afraid that if I don't find my purpose soon, I never will. I feel like there is something missing in my life, and I do not know what to do about it. I am searching for contentment. I feel like I could be doing so much more.
I am a wife and a mother, but I love helping people. People are my absolute passion. I just don't know exactly how I could go about finding out what it is I would like to help people with? I am sorry this sounds so confusing, but is really is. I want to make a difference in someones life so badly. I want to change the way they think and feel. I love to make people happy and see them smile. If you have any suggestions feel free to leave me a comment. I hope you all have a great week. Thank you for reading my ramblings.

Out of The Darkness Community Walk

Hi, I know it has been awhile since I have blogged. I am still having a hard time with it because of my depression. Unfortunately, I do not always feel like blogging. I think I should really try to get into the habit of it. I think it could be good therapy because it is like journal writing. I am very happy to announce that I did my first community walk. It was called Out of The Darkness Community walk. I think it is a great cause to help people with suicide prevention. I think if more people can be aware that there is help for mental illness it will give them hope. I have also lost a good friend to suicide. I don't think anyone should have to feel such despair. I would like to help as many people as I can realize that life is good and give them the hope and comfort they need. If anyone is in need of a friend, I want to let them know that I am here and they can count on me. I can say it was a wonderful experience seeing everyone supporting each other. I highly recommend that if you have thought about doing a community walk this is a wonderful cause. It really makes you feel good that you can make a difference. So, what are you waiting for? Sign up today to do a walk. Have a great week!
