RWS Features #4

December 17, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Good morning! I am actually away this weekend at another wedding. People just getting hitched left and right! I hope you all have a fabulous last weekend before Christmas. Soak up the season and enjoy this time!

Everyone say hello to Brigid! She blogs at Live, Breathe, Huzzah! 

How/Why did you start blogging?

1.  I began blogging shortly before my 29th birthday. Like many people approaching a milestone birthday (Hello 30!), I started reflecting on my life, my fitness, and what health and happiness mean to me. I started Live, Breathe, Huzzah as a way to keep track of my progress and voice my thoughts about fitness and healthy living.

Sum up your blog in a couple sentences

2. Live, Breathe, Huzzah is about striving to live an active, healthy life full of fun! I aim to focus on the positives, eat more veggies, run more miles, try new things, and not sweat the small stuff. I talk a lot about running because running keeps me happy and healthy.

What do you wish to accomplish/achieve by blogging?

3. My biggest dream is that people will read my blog and find inspiration. Inspiration to run a 5K, go for a swim, try a new food, or even cut themselves some slack. I’m not perfect. I’m not particularly fast. I have a serious sweet tooth. But I’m challenging myself and aiming high. If I can do it, you can too.

What is your biggest healthy living accomplishment?

4. My biggest healthy living accomplishment is finally realizing that I am a runner. I’ve always held back from describing myself as a runner because I’m not that fast. I don’t look like a runner. One day I wrote down all the races I’ve completed, and it hit me: I AM a runner. Once I made that mental leap, I’ve become more confident in my running. I even recently made the big decision to train for my first full marathon in September 2012.

Thanks so much for sharing! Everyone be sure to stop by her blog and say hello and show some encouragement and support.

QOTD: What is YOUR biggest healthy living accomplishment?

Mine would be running my first marathon, almost a year ago!

    Great feature!!
    My biggest healthy living accomplishment would have to be…. doing this healthy living thing correctly! I have 2 kids; one being a 7 year old daughter. I have to lead by example for sure now. She looks up to me and mimics what I do and what I believe! I must be doing something right, she is on track to running her 4th 5k this spring! 🙂

I love trends like this where I get to post the im I love trends like this where I get to post the imperfect and bad quality photos of days gone by. 😜

2016 was a VERY big year for us. Moving states. Running multiple businesses. Being accused of getting a divorce. 🤣🫣 People are wild, yall. 

Looking back they were some hard, wild times and I now know more hard times were ahead for us, but I wouldn’t change any of it. I know it’s part of our story, God had a plan, and there is a reason for it all. Just gotta keep keeping on! ❤️

If you’ve been feeling behind, exhausted, or like nothing you do is ever quite “enough”… maybe it’s not because you’re failing, maybe it’s because you keep raising your bar.

Growth isn’t always loud. 👈🏻
Take some time to look around and celebrate the small steps. 

(Or if you want to really celebrate, go on a @virginvoyages cruise! Bimini is one of my fave beaches ever! There’s a link in my bio with discounts!) 🚢

Allow me to de-influence you. 💁🏻‍♀️ Sometimes we Allow me to de-influence you. 💁🏻‍♀️

Sometimes we (myself included) all need a little reminder that this app shows short snippets of the entirety of someone’s day and life. No one wants to post the boring, the ugly, the sad, but it’s there. 

Be careful not to compare your life with the people you see online. A lot of the things you see are inaccurate or a stretch of the truth, or just the best of the best. That’s not reality and I want to make sure no one thinks that I am ever trying to portray some perfect life that doesn’t exist. I’m a hot mess 99% of the time, and that’s ok! 😜

I sometimes am still waiting on an adult to walk into the room to tell me what to do….and then I remember I AM the adult. 🤣

When we get down to it, we are all very similar. I love you guys.

From laying out my workout clothes to packing my daughter’s basketball bag… and yes, remembering my vitamins — staying proactive just makes life run smoother.

But I realized it shouldn’t just stop with me. My dogs are part of the family too. 💛 So when I’m grabbing our wellness essentials at select Walmart stores, I make sure to pick up our NaturVet pet supplements right from the Pet Health aisle.

At home, it’s simple: I get my vitamins and supplements, and they get theirs. Staying a step ahead means taking care of all of us — two-legged and four-legged. 🐶✨
