Well I absolutely love new snow! It’s such a special time and it is so peaceful seeing new snow. And like a new slate seeing untouched snow! We are having a snow day today, I am still working from home but the girls and my husband have a snow day! I am working on myself, got my new home gym set up with a free bowflex, going to be adding a squat rack and barbell shorting along with a treadmill!

Hello, I wanted to share my 2025 vision board with you all! :)

I shared with Jessica yesterday but I forgot to share in our zoom meeting. For 3 years I have had a service dog, she helps with my anxiety and alerts me when I do get anxious my heart rate goes up. I have a heart defect which then affects me. Since starting this journey my anxiety has gone down, my heart rate no longer fluctuates, and I am able to process anything that would have made my anxiety go up. So after 3 years I no longer need my service dog, and she has also felt that change in me and has not alerted me in MONTHS. I have decided to not get her re-certified! She is still my puppy but she no longer has to use her skills with me! I have been struggling long before I got my service dog, she helped but now I am able to help myself! It’s such an amazing feeling!

Still getting my workouts in, even on vacation! I wasn’t able to bring my weights but I did bring my resistance bands. With a little research on TikTok I found ways to do my workouts with bands!! I have to do more reps per set but still effective!!

Patience and understanding, we are at my in-laws. And I absolutely love the relationship my kids have with them! But they get everything they want from my in-laws (within reason). But I have always told them I will never come between them and the kids. As long as they put in the effort to be in their lives. And they are. They have dropped everything to help us. Even came down to coming to live with us for 3 months after a tornado took out my daughter’s school and had no child care available! They came and took care of the girls and helped us! So I am taking a breath, channeling my patience to let them spoil their grandkids!!
