6 Years NO Alcohol

Congratulations to my husband on 6 years no alcohol. Yup he has a beer in hand 6 years later, a Heineken 0.0% because at this point having NA drinks doesn’t bother him or make him want to drink, he just enjoys beer and having a NA beer while watching the game and that’s ok. What […]

Banks-Vernonia Trail

A great local trail about a half hour from home. We only did it from Banks to Stubb Stewart but loved it and will definitely do it again and the whole trail next time. I am exhausted today and it’s a perfect day for having a Recumbent. I did pedal all the way except the […]

And then..

I got home late Sunday, 11pm at the airport and home technically Monday after midnight. I have been fine but last night as I lay in bed trying to fall asleep my mind ran as it normally does and I freaked out. Due to my independent nature and just how I am, I am fine […]

Enjoying my favorites

Just because I don’t drink doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a Moscow Mule alcohol free thanks to Kul Mocks and some chips and salsa! Delicious. I also absolutely love my Munch bowls I got from a friend when she delivered me soup when I first got home from my TBI accident. Perfect bowls since that’s […]

Love my workout views

It’s Friday and my workout day, the view with the garage open was amazing with the sunrise, fog, birds chirping and owl 🦉 hooting. Can’t beat this view. And that’s our car which the dirtiness kills my husband but it comes with where we live, we got it when we moved up here in July. […]

Sticking to my schedule

I did not want to workout today. But I’m sticking to my MWF goal to truly see how it affects me in a month with my TBI. I did a great tread bootcamp, it was fun and kicked my ass and made me push and run faster than normal with some short intervals. I’m determined […]

Happy New Year!

2021 was definitely not what anyone expected, nor was 2020. 2022 here we are! The last 2 years have taught me SO much. The last three and a half years taught me so much more. What’s important. What’s not important. What deserves my energy and time, what does not. So many losses, so many gains. […]
