I was planning to share my crockpot recipe from last night but I am not happy with how it turned out so I plan to make a few tweaks and try it out again before sharing.
Instead, I’m just sharing some of my Thursday feelings. Goodbye corporate America! I am finally making the biggest step towards my long-term goals. After over 6 years in corporate retail, I am moving on to new ventures. I started my Pilates certification through Peak Pilates and will also be working for my best friend Roxy helping build her empire of bar carts and furniture at Society Social! Fitness has always been a huge passion of mine & I’m not sure why I’ve waited this long to make the jump to get certified in something fitness related. I also couldn’t be more honored to work for Roxy. We worked together in a buying office our first job out of college. She was brave enough to follow her dreams a few years later and it’s been inspiring to see her build her brand over the past few years.
When you work in a corporate setting, not only is it challenging to find the time to plan and make healthy meals but it can be hard to remember to set aside time for yourself. We only have one life, so make sure you make the time for the things you love to do. If that is going to a nice dinner, treat yourself. If it’s working out, find the time to take a fitness class or get to the gym. When I lived in Charlotte, it was a Wednesday night yoga class with Kyle Conti that really changed my outlook on not just yoga but life. I was so hooked on his class, my friend Shayna and I made it a date every Wednesday night. Then we would meet up with the boys after for dinner. I miss Kyle and the community at Charlotte Yoga. I can honestly say it was his words that have helped guide me where I am today.
