BucketList: New Years Eve: Skiing down Cindy's Run at the stroke of midnight.

Weigh In Wednesday 03
Weigh In Wednesday 03

Years ago I read a statistic that the average American gains 7-10 pounds from Thanksgiving to New Years Day. Thanksgiving day alone, most people consume more than 4,500 calories often including 229 grams of fat. 
This is one thing I have no desire at being average, and now that my season on the farm is over, I will have to put much more effort into maintaining my weight. I also have no desire depriving myself of the holiday decadence and comfort deliciousness. This is the happiest time of the year right? 
So here we go! Weigh yourself today and this is 0. Next Wednesday when you weigh yourself again, if you gained weight it is +1 or 2 or ... and if you lost weight it will be -1 or 2 or...
Accountability! Let's NOT be average!

Inspiration for Your Bucketlist

I have a variety of BucketLists that include local as well as world adventure. Time is really your only obstacle and with that it is simply a matter of making a choice. Start locally and discover the fun and beauty in your own neighborhood. If you come across more time and more money then check off those items on your list. This is your life. You create your path. Be fulfilled. Find me on instagram as bucketlistcatalyst or follow me here!

WTF!!!! That is what I said to myself when I saw this pic. My arm looks like it is broken. My left tricep looks like it has disconnected is just hanging there. My right tricep is also losing muscle tone. And what’s with that back fat hanging over my swimsuit?!? I’ve never been skinny but I didn’t think I was that flabby. Where did muscular distinctions in my thigh go? Good thing I am wearing a sarong as I don’t want to know what my ass looks like. And then I said... I am so lucky. 6 months ago I couldn’t lift my arms even close to this high. I can stand strong on my own two feet. I am not in a life or death predicament. Come on now, i haven’t been able to exercise like I used to with out pain and I keep eating as if I was working out, what do you expect your body to look like? And I am celebrating my sisters upcoming birthday in this beautiful location. And then I continued the conversation with mySelf... Be patient. Healing takes time. Continue to take this time for your body. The strength will come back, maybe the same maybe different. It will be good. Take the time to rest your mind. You’ve always said to yourself “Analysis Paralysis” and (shocker) it happened on various levels in your life. Simple changes in your eating habits will provide healing energy. You’ve got this. You have support. Stay focused. This, too, shall pass. ✨ ✨ #healing #frozenshoulder #selftalk #affirmations #perception #howthingschange #howitlooks #empower #farmurbanmotivation
Don’t let this rain get you down. The sun will be back out and the forecast looks great for this weekend! SUP Yoga Sunday 6PM with @krysiaenergyyoga and @kayak41north 🧘🏼‍♂️ 🏄🏼‍♀️ 💙 #supyoga #happypaddling #optoutside #bucketlistcatalyst #thisiscle #standuppaddle #standuppaddleyoga #summertodolist
Theme this week is Connection How do you connect with those you work with? Loved having @crockerpark #lululemoncleveland out on the water for some SUP fun! #worktogetherplaytogether #bluemind #gowiththeflow #SUP #standuppaddle #lovelakeerie #connection #bucketlistcatalyst #farmurbanmotivation
Summer Bucketlist: ✔️Full Moon SUP ✔️Watch a concert from my SUP What a night! Full moon rising catching it just before and after the clouds. Listening to Jason Mraz from the water with the SamLaud barge coming through blowing its horn at the encore and with perfect timing then the rain came pouring down. #ohwhatanight #suplife #bluemind #thisiscle #sharetheriver
Do Something New Everyday! This is my passion! Every day is a New day so why not fill it with something new. It doesn’t have to be some huge new endeavor (or hey maybe it is!), it could be as simple as a new coffee shop. And that may result in a better appreciation of your usual or you may now have a new favorite. Do something New, to give you a new perspective, a new opportunity or even confirmation. Excited to go somewhere new tonight @redspaceevents for @hotsummernightscle driven by the beautiful @carrie_reilly, with a yoga class led by the OMazing @cleveland_kitchen and filled with incredible local vendors all for a great cause!
Start of the day office view. Mid day work. End of the day bliss. * What did your day look like? ☕️🏄🏼‍♀️🚤🙏🏼 #joblove #bluemind #grateful #createyourdestiny #worklifebalance #liveyourinspiredlife #optoutside #farmurbanmotivation #thisisCLE
Good Morning! I hope you have a bright and beautiful day! 💕
Why? Why attend this event? Why do anything? It’s all about the why! I love how I feel after yoga. It’s for a great cause. Surrounding yourself with likeminded people is inspiring. Doing something for myself and for others at the same time is double the fulfillment. I have yet to visit @redspaceevents. @ally_grubba Is teaching. Everyone involved is local. I support the vision of one hot mama @carrie_reilly who makes me laugh, think and feel above and beyond that this life is whacked up fun and love! * * * If any of these why’s are yours, will you be my hot summer date this Thursday night? 🔥🧘🏼‍♂️🔥 #hotsummernights #yoga #inthecle #sweatforacause #allaboutthewhy #bucketlistcatalyst #whynot #farmurbanmotivation #mondaymotivation
