she be fine

MY HAIR IS RIDICULOUS.

Ah. That feels better. (: 

I am so honored and shocked at the response my last workout post received! Thank you to all who visited and left encouraging comments. It's nice having that support system. So, thank you again. 

This last week was BRUTAL. BRUTAL I TELL YOU. Zac came with me to the gym last Monday and watched me do my squats. He gave me some notes and I decreased the weight and went down further into my squat. HOLY MOLY. All week I've felt the extent of my exercises all because Mr. Zachary gave me the courage to do so! He's pretty dang great.

I'm getting stronger all the time and my confidence continues to grow. How amazing our bodies are and how blessed we are to have them. (: (So Chelsea, stop eating Sonic. ><)

All Girls Are Princesses

On this Sunday evening, I found myself longing for a good cry. Enter: A Little Princess. This movie was a special movie my dad and I shared as a young girl. Sarah's relationship with her father perfectly mirrored how I felt about my 'Papa.' Her absolute faith in him and in magic. Her belief in make believe. Her resilience in the face of adversity. Her strength in the unknown. She embodied how I wanted to be at her age, and upon watching it again today, has re-instilled my desire to be just as fearless.

Of course, I cried like a baby, so that wish was fulfilled. Have a happy Sunday, everyone. Remember, all girls are princesses.

werk it gurl

Okay. My hair was super crazy when I took these photos and my face looks like it's high but I promise I'm not. haha Anyway. GUYS. IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK IN THE GAME AND BLOGGING ABOUT IT.

I took three weeks off because I left my running shoes in LA during KCACTF and then saved up money to get my new shoes. I know it's a runner's sin, but I had my old shoes for four years before getting new ones. DON'T STONE ME. AH. haha My new shoes are Asics GT-2000 and exactly what I need for my heel striking cloppers.

As last week was my first week back at it, I am quite proud of the work I accomplished. It was sooo hard getting back in the swing of things, but felt so amazing. My body loves me. Good feelings all around.

Luka

Meet Luka! He's our very own lovable, adorable, and cuddly kitty. My heart bursts with joy whenever I get a moment like this with him. He loves laps. Laps are his thing. We brought him home from the Humane Society in Salt Lake last Tuesday. He warmed up to his new home and us quite quickly. Luka now sleeps with us throughout the night and wakes us up after our alarm goes off, which is very gentlemanly of him.

Expressing the exact love and devotion I have toward Luka is difficult. I've wanted a kitty of my own for almost five years and half of that time has been while married to Zac (wut). Close friends of mine know just how much Luka means to me. My mother's been like, "JUST GET A CAT." Well, Mom, we did it. (:
