An Overdue Update
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted much on social media as well as on my website, and I feel as if I owe you an update! I’ve been keeping my head down - working with clients and working on myself so much that I’ve stayed extra busy, and my free time has been going into resting, recharging, and spending time with my family.
Some days are really good and I can get so much done… but other days - I’m only able to see the clients on my schedule and be there for my kids - nothing more. I’m grateful for the flexibility my business and job have given me, but I understand how privileged that truly is.
No matter which way you slice it, chronic illness and dynamic disabilities absolutely suck. Let’s be real.
I’ve been supporting more clients lately who are on GLP-1s, and I’ve learned I love helping with maintaining muscle mass, mitigating symptoms, and celebrating weight loss. Health and wellness are so much more than just weight loss, but supporting the whole person and getting them to a healthy place can absolutely involve weight loss - and large losses at that! If you’re on a weight loss journey and want some support, I’m your gal! I have a couple of extra slots on my schedule.
My son has started karate and band this year as electives, and it’s fun to watch him learn, grow, and expand his talents! He’s playing trombone, has really taken to music theory, and is in the fun, squeaky beginner stages. Junior high is a new ride and isn’t for the faint of heart. I’ve only subbed and did a 10-week student teaching gig almost 20 years ago, so times have changed, but junior high is still the wild west - full of sarcasm and snark. We’re working on harnessing that sarcasm into humor that is actually funny and not harmful.
My daughter has started gymnastics, and it’s been both thrilling and nerve-wracking to watch her practice. Each week, I’m reminded of how much braver she is than I ever was. She’s currently excelling on the beam, and I could never get on something that high up and do all of the things she’s doing. Also, watching her try and try on the bar, which is her weakest area, is incredible to see because it reminds me not to give up just because something is challenging. While the competitive side of me loves watching her thrive and tick off new skills, the intentional parent in me is celebrating each little bit of progress and highlighting her strength, tenacity, and always giving it her best.
