It's accurate that they call skiing/snowboarding a rich man's sport!! It's EXPENSIVE-- the gear, the passes, shoot even the food is outrageously priced. I feel so incredibly blessed for the chance to grow up involved in this sport. [note: I am NOT a rich man-- but I make it work!] I am so glad I was able to pick up snowboarding at an older age (I skied as a kid.) I'm not going to sugar coat it; the first couple times you snowboard are the worst days of your life! It is far from fun, and your ass hurts more than it has ever hurt in your life!
But then one day, you just get it.
You can switch back and forth from healside to toeside and it is glorious.
I seriously have the biggest smile when I am riding down the mountain, and I can't help but giggle like a schoolgirl when I catch some killer powder. And to add a cherry to the cake, this day and age you can stream Pandora anywhere on the mountain!
Floating down the mountain to your favorite music is something in life you have to try at least once!!
& today, underneath it all-- I'm not even wearing a bra! #winning. #tigersblood.
LOVE the LIFE you LIVE ⇆ LIVE the LIFE you LOVE.

My Why [& Related Rambles]
My Why: I owe it to myself. To feel strong in my own skin. To feel alive and amazing. To conquer. To Inspire.
Has it been over a month or has it just been a day? If you "cheat" then you are on a "diet". I changed my lifestyle last month, and I don't regret those noodles last night>> I just worked out harder and ate better today. I feel great when I eat lots of fat, and lower my carbs; I feel like crap when I eat like crap. After sober November we celebrated too hard, I swear I was feeling it for a week! It messes with the nutrition, the movement, and the sleep! To the point I don't even enjoy it, it's not worth it. Cool-- glad we got that out our system.
Today I went to our apartment's fitness "class" or aka just this personal trainer/army/dude Brad ANNNND myself. Today's torture was "For Time" 50 pushups TRX, 50 pullups TRX, 50 sit ups, 50 leg raises, 50 squats TRX, 50 jumping jacks. My time was 20:27 so remember that is what I get to beat next time! The worst part of it was walking up the four flights of stairs after! Really though, it's like I have my own free personal trainer, it's great! :) I am still doing Yoga with Adriene-- day 15 of 30 (two yesterday and one today). Totally slacking/killing it in that department. I thoroughly enjoy my time with her-- she is always reminding me to smile, to open up my heart and to just breathe.
Current Reads: I'm listening to Keto Clarity, by Eric C. Westman, MD, Jimmy Moore on my first month free on Audible!
Favorite chapstick: Natural ice, no matter what kind-- it is the ONLY kind that works.
Currently doing a lot of Sudoku too..
"If you are trying to better yourself, you have jumped over the fence. You have chosen hope over hopelessness. If you did one thing towards good health today, you are winning."//Unknown
Oh, and a good pair of jeans does the body good! Go out and get a pair you feel good in, you'll feel more confident on your journey!!

K.... kind of random, but shout out to my 10th grade english class professor: Mr. Beh [spelling?]
I never forgot this one lesson he taught: Dress for respect.
Such truth in this statement, whether you are the ones dressed or the one judging.
if you wear sweats everywhere, no one will take you serious.
wear a suit and people automatically respect.
it's interesting how scrubs change people's perspective too.
get ready every day, it simply states so much about you.
Don't worry, I either live in scrubs or cozy clothes. & I'm not even mad about it.
