My February Whole30 Win
Yep, this time around I finished the Whole30!! 🙂 I’ll jump right into the improvements and good things I’ve noticed: I feel more optimistic about my health. I don’t 100% feel like I’m ‘there’, but I feel like I’m definitely on the right path. I’m closer to ‘there’ than I was 2 months ago. I […]

Habits for energy
A new month is upon us and this month, I have a new goal of doing as many things to increase my energy as possible. Inspiration I think my inspiration for this has come from a few different places.
