Why I Took a Break From Blogging..

So, long time no talk.

Here I am with the long awaited ‘why I took a break from blogging” post. I have been putting this off for what seems like forever but the other day I got the thought in my head of “Why are you pushing this off so bad?! It’s not like you were gone for something “bad”, if anything it is AMAZING.” so it’s finally that time to catch back up with you all!

If I am being blunt, the main reason I took such a long break was because I started to feel like I was sharing posts that were untrue to me. I started feeling like I was writing about things that would get views, instead of things I was actually passionate about. When I first started this blog I was in a completely different time in my life than I am now, and I want that to be reflected in my posts!

But, if I am being 100% honest with you guys, during my “time off” I have seen so much personal growth. I started taking the time to make my health a priority, I started eating much better, I have stuck to workout programs, finished them & kept moving on to others. I have seen some AMAZING results not only physically but also mentally. Most importantly I just took the time for MYSELF. To find myself again, to gain that inspiration back, to find my voice & what I am truly passionate about sharing. I can finally say that I feel like I am back as a much better me who has so much to share that I truly LOVE!

Like I had mentioned before, during this time off I really dove into making my health a priority again. I shared a post not too long ago on my Instagram where I explained how my disease really started to take a toll on how I viewed myself. Back when I first started this journey in April 2019 my disease felt heavy and my mindset was not healthy surrounding it. During this break, I was slowly but surely getting a hold of my disease & controlling it very well. Even through the holidays, which are normally really hard for me, things were going so much smoother. LONG STORY SHORT: The outcome of taking time to focus on what makes you feel better is every bit of amazing & SO worth it. I can’t express enough how thankful I am that I realized how much I deserve to take care of me.

POST HIGHLIGHT:

“I remember before I started my journey I felt like my disease was more of a burden than anything. ⁣It started to feel like a heavy weight that I just couldn’t get off my shoulders. The weight of not feeling well, the weight of not being in control of my blood sugars, the weight of not knowing how to make the change... it was all taking over. My mindset surrounding being a Type 1 Diabetic was not healthy, I was just starting to resent it all. ⁣

⁣𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘸.. ⁣

I am 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 in control again. I appreciate my body for all the amazing things it is allowing me to do all while also being a Type 1 Diabetic. To say that this opportunity & this life shift has changed my health for the better is a complete understatement.. 𝐈𝐓 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐄. ⁣

⁣

- Now my blood sugars are under control

- My A1c is under control

- I have gained back the appreciation for my body

My mindset has completely shifted around my disease since beginning this journey of mine a year ago. I have learned more about myself as well as who I am with my disease & am continuing to learn each and every day. Such as how my nutrition affects me, how exercise affects me and also how my 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐒𝐄𝐓 affects me.”

Let’s focus on something that I am super excited to share!

While taking a break I really dove into my community & by that I mean checking in on the daily with all of the amazing women I have met just from starting my health journey! When I say I have met some of the BEST friends & women, I am not lying. Zoom dates, work sessions, workouts, texts, calls… just some of the weekly motivators that keep me going & striving to be my best self.

Since truly falling in love with my health & fitness journey I decided to take the next step, that being sharing the tools & my community with those who might be looking for the same thing. YOU GUYS I STARTED COACHING! I have started to grow my team little by little and have continued to really share my day to day with fitness/health with my following! I have really grown by doing this in more ways that I thought possible. I have teamed up with one of my closest friends that I met through coaching/starting this journey (shout out to you Sam!) and we have been running a challenge group/boot camp with both of our teams which has been so fun. One of my favorite parts of doing this is that we not only share when things are going really well with our fitness, but we also have each others back when times get tough or when we are having off days.

Soooo, if you are interested in learning more about joining me & starting a journey of your own I would LOVE to chat with you. No strings attached, but like let’s talk details NOW - because if i’m being honest the only regret that I have is that I didn’t start earlier, so there is no shame in wondering what this is all about!
