That’s RIGHT – weight LOST! 🙂 This post is going to be short and sweet to get my numbers out there. I’ll work on a more detailed post later chronicling my life, my loves, my losses, and…wait, no..that’s for my book. I’ll be back later with more awesomeness from my LIFE!

Drum roll please…….

Homecoming

Today’s post is going to be short and sweet because, well, my man came home from a business trip today and I want to spend time with him. 🙂

I have worked out 3 days in a row now and I’m not in terrible pain. I can’t figure out if it’s because a) I’m working out more so my muscles are getting used to it or b) I’m taking Advocare Catalyst which I know helps with recovery. Whatever it is, I am a happy camper. I’m still somewhat sore, but not like I have been in the past. Today’s workout consisted of snatches 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 (finding our maximum weight that we can lift in a snatch..mine was 65 lbs.) and then front squats 3-3-3-3-3 (again, finding out the max weight we can lift in a series of 3 reps 5 times…mine was 85 lbs.) and then as many head stand push ups as we can do in 3 minutes. I have to scale those and do them from a box, but I got 31 in.

There are exciting things on the horizon for Birmingham and, hopefully, for myself. I am thinking, writing, and working out the details, but I hope to unveil a new look and presence soon. I hope you will stick around for the show.

I’m tuckered out and it’s freezing outside. I’m snuggling up with my new electric blanket, my man, pup, cat, and bidding you farewell. And remember, dear readers,

Love yourself.
Find peace inside.
Share happiness.

Tornado Alley

Things have been moving at the speed of light these days at work, in my personal life, and extracurricular activities. I am not complaining – staying busy keeps my mind engaged, especially when I’m working with the creative talents behind the Jefferson Shelby County Chapter of the American Red Cross‘ Paint the Town Red event scheduled for April 20th right here in downtown Birmingham. I went to my first meeting last night – I’m volunteering as part of the Social Media team – and let me just tell you, they are planning AMAZING art for Birmingham. I cannot wait to go to this!

I have been busy with meetings and meet ups with See Jane Write, Theatre Downtown, Paint the Town Red, Magic City Post, the next Birmingham Dance Walk, and working my my goals and fitness thanks to Iron Tribe, losing weight, and seeing my man! Whew – I’m tired just thinking about the past few weeks and the weeks coming up. But they are worth it – these are some great organizations that do so much for our community.

The past two days of challenges for 31 Days to a Better Blog have been to 1) be more engaging on Facebook and Twitter and b) sign up for a blogging conference or seminar. Well, I’ve already blown #1 out of the park apparently as my sister, who I adore, posted on Facebook that I was updating too much and she was a little tired of it. lol! There are worse things, but it does tell me that I’m engaged. I loved Javacia’s tip today on posting more quality and not just quantity on social media – you can read her post here. And I’m also attending the See Jane Write event tonight: Blogging and the Future of Community Journalism. So I’ve got those two covered. I am still working on a new header, as well as whether I want to change my URL, title or platform. We shall see, but they are great tips in the series.

More tomorrow, lovelies! Until then….

Love yourself.
