I have been struggling like many of you, and it seems to have more to do with my mental state than anything else, so my focus for the challenge is to start my days off on the right foot to increase my energy and motivation for the rest of the day. I have been tracking these…

There was a box of Valentine's candy in my mailbox at work yesterday, and I proceeded to eat the entire thing within a couple of hours. Today, I have less energy and my gut feels sluggish.

Hi all! I enjoyed catching up and comparing the weather in our various areas. I have time to check in today because Iowa is having its first real snowstorm of the year, and that means a snow day! It was announced last night, and I had great aspirations of all the things I would get done today. It has not been a total bust,…

At work, I joined a wellness challenge (CatchLife30), and one of my first "assignments" is to choose a motivational word for the challenge. I have been pondering a word or phrase of the year since it was part of a challenge on here a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't feel quite right yet, but this is what I have: OWN IT The…
