Best Fitness Books That Never Go out of Style
You can gain a lot of workout and exercise information from those around you such as your friends or personal trainer. There are even moments when you Google the best workouts for your body and health. But do these sources really know what you need? You can surf the internet for answers, but it’s always a disorganized mess on the internet. Sometimes, even Google doesn't know what you need.

Essential Oils Are Fantastic!
Hi there. Today I wanted to share with you the success that I have personally had using essential oils. But first some of you may ask what is an essential oil? Basically in a nutshell they are the aromatic compounds that for an example make a rose smell like a rose. They truly are great for enhancing one's health. When I first started looking into essential oils I was dealing with a pretty tough bout of depression. My husband is bipolar so he was constantly swinging between manic and depressant. He was being treated and nothing was working. Then in August of 2016 I started using essential oils. I was still pretty new at this but I started studying what would benefit us and how. Fast forward to November when I met the family that would sign me on with doTerra. She is a holistic doctor and she has a beautiful family.

Defeating Disorders When Starting Your Weight Loss Journey
You're probably reading this because you're one of my followers. So, you already know that I've lost weight. My body, my face, my abilities, my likes and dislikes have all changed dramatically over the span of a year. It has actually been a lot to adjust to. When you start a fitness or weight loss journey you change just as much on the inside as you do on the outside. Coming to terms with these changes can be a little hard. I think the most common misconception is that if you lose weight or change your habits, you will be completely happy. Well, it's true, being healthier has made me a lot happier, but it didn't solve my problems. And looking better didn't fix the parts of me that needed work. If you're unhappy and unhealthy, you'll still be a little unhappy when you get healthy if you don't shift your mindset.

Healthy Living vs Dieting
Everyone gets to the point where they know they need to make a change. For me, I know that I need to be healthy. I need to know that one day I will wake up and be better. Of course, it doesn't happen overnight. You can't just decide cold turkey that you are going to give up on food completely. But it takes time. And lots of planning. And even more water. Water. Water. WATER.

Born Crips/Made Crips
So, in my beginning life...Again post, I mentioned the term born crip when referring to my wife, Joey. I'd be considered a born crip, because I've been in a wheelchair all my life from Spina Bifida with Cerebral Palsy in my hands. Joey has Cerebral Palsy, and is also in a wheelchair, but she can get out easier than I can.

What If...
So, every now and then, Joey and I talk about "what if" we could walk, “what if” our hands worked better. This isn't a feeling sorry for ourselves convo. Yeah, growing up, we wanted to walk, and, in reality, neither one of us saw ourselves with a crip, because we know the baggage we already bring to the table... Why double it?
