Ready for a New Start? Get Ready!

Me - out for a hike!

I've been quiet for a very long time. I don't even run much anymore, which is why I started this blog in the first place. But don't let the silence fool you, I've been hard at work, and there are lots of cool things coming. I'll make some announcements and give you heads-up about some cool stuff coming your way soon. For now, keep an eye out for launch announcements!! 

Let's get started with what is going on in my world now. 

Firstly, I'm launching a series of coaching services, products, and freebies (who doesn't like free stuff?), all based around Every Step's a Victory. The premise is that every single win should be celebrated. 

Y'all - it's way too easy to talk negatively in our heads. Seriously, we are our own worst enemy! What if we could turn that around and celebrate wins? Really - think about it, when you make a choice that positively affects you, even if it's a small one - that's a win for your soul!

Drink a glass of water today instead of that soft drink? WIN!
Start creating a plan to get more sleep? WIN!
Add a veggie to a meal? WIN!

These are just a few examples, but every time you choose something healthier, more active, or self-care, it's a HUGE WIN! And it deserves to be celebrated. 

It's NOT about trying to talk yourself out of dying while you are starving yourself. And it's NOT about setting a series of unrealistic goals for yourself that even you know are not possible!

Instead, set small goals and conquer them one small step at a time, celebrating every single win. Why? 
Every positive step is progress. Progress IS progress!!! The small steps you take add up over time and you will feel a lot better about yourself, have more confidence, and you'll be getting healthier in the process. 

Stick around to learn more and hold on for the ride, because we're about ready to take off!

For now, join my Facebook page to connect with me for positive reinforcement, informative posts, and support as needed. I'll be seeing you around!!

Hello - It's Been Awhile

I am sorry, I had to take a break and get myself focused. However, I haven't stopped, and I've been quite busy really. There's been a lot going on and honestly, I've been living out the every step's a victory   mantra. There's been lots of struggles and tons of ups and downs. But I have to say each step toward a healthy, whole life is still victorious. As a matter of fact, revisiting that is why I decided to get the blog back up and going again. I did get a website set up, you can check it out if you'd like. I still have to get the blog up and going on the site It won't be like this one, it will have more general information about healthy eating, exercising and things that are not as much about my own journey, it'll be more educational. Check out the Every Step's A Victory site and let me know what you think so far. For me life continues to be a struggle, I think that may hold true for most people who deal with a chronic condition. It seem...

Cardiologist Update

So I guess I'm just going to have to get used to going to cardiologists and doctors. My primary care sent me to a cardiologist at the Oklahoma Heart Hospital. I think I like this guy (as much as I can like docs). He was very kind, and looked me in the eye when he was talking with me and I liked that. Of course I gave them my standard "abnormal but not bad" EKG. I also explained about my meds and how the other doc wouldn't call me back. He told me not to trust a doctor who didn't call you back. (I was surprised.) He said it's an integrity issue and it sends the signal that they don't care when they don't call you back. I agreed. At the end of the appointment - he gave me a gentle hug and promised to take good care of me. That was nice I thought. (Even though I'm not too keen on "being taken care of.") My blood pressure was great- didn't even mention taking meds for that. I have to say that's a HUGE win. I believe the drastic ...

Cowtown Challenge Done!

This was one awesome weekend! I did finish the Cowtown Challenge by doing a 5K on Saturday and a half marathon on Saturday. In between I rode bikes around with one of my friends. I enjoyed the camaraderie of all the runners and the general atmosphere around the Cowtown is just awesome - Oh - and I met Jeff Galloway himself! He is so kind and encouraging - just like Mark Bravo. I really felt very under-trained for this particular event. I hadn't run much in the last two weeks and had only done one 9+ miler in the last month. I usually have a few 10 milers in, but not this time. But - it all worked out. One of the biggest struggles I have is simply not knowing what my body is going to do on any given day. I have to keep my attitude straight and just be "okay" with whatever I have to work with. Doing a race while traveling adds another struggle - trying to eat out without taking in too much salt. Hey- the struggle is real! One night we ate at Chili's and I asked fo...
