Everything is Easier...

Hey all,

It's been a looooong time since I wrote. I've been so incredibly busy. Not a good excuse, I know, but still true.

I have to say....working out at the gym has been amazing. I LOVE my boxing gym. I am excited to go, I have incredible workouts that leave me ridiculously sweaty (my hair is actually SOAKING wet by the end...nice mental image for ya, isn't it!?), and the social aspect is fantastic as well. I have met so many wonderful people, male and female.

Also, I find that a lot of things are much easier (hence, the title of my post). For instance, before I used to roll out of bed and almost fall on the floor in the morning. (not kidding). Now, I sit up in bed, and I put my legs over the edge and sort of "hop" up. It's such a great feeling. I'm NOT saying I don't like sleeping in and that getting up at 6:30am is easy when I have to get up that early. However, I am saying that the movement of getting out of bed is sooooo much easier!

Also, I've been singing at a few gigs as of late, and walking up onto the stage and carrying my keyboard (which is about 70 pounds!), and setting things up DOESN'T TAKE MY BREATH AWAY! When I start singing, I am able to take in deeper breaths, I can sing stronger, and I just feel GOOD.

SOOO, I am just updating you on that. I have a photo shoot coming up in a week for my new music website, and so this week, I will be back to eating very healthfully. I have to admit that I've gotten off-track with eating. But I still feel MUCH BETTER with working out 3-4x a week. And it shows. I look at my body in the mirror and am happier with what I'm seeing.

So there ya go! I'm not as "on track" as I thought I'd be...but I'm still on the journey. One thing at a time. Now that I'm so into the working out, the eating is going to slowly infiltrate into healthy as well.

I will post pics next week from my photo shoot. So excited to share them with you all!

much love!
