Quiet time for the mind..

Long bike ride today, I leave as soon as the hubby gets back from his ride. 56 miles into Story and up the Foot Hills of The Big Horn Mountains.

Not sure why this pic keeps loading sideways... oh well... this is what awaits me is just a short time!
These days remind me of those bluebird powder days back when I lived in Crested Butte, Colorado. Its 65 degrees, not a breath of wind and blue sky as far as the eye can see. I do a lot of thinking on the bike, its a great time to focus my creative energies and come up with new workouts for clients and plans for the future. After watching footage from Ironman World Champs last night at dinner and I oddly excited for this bike ride today. Life  is what you make of it, today my life is beautiful and I am blessed, honored and so thankful for it.

       Do you struggle to find wholesome nutritious meals throughout the week? Ever wonder what all of those meal plan companies in your social feeds are really like? We did the work (and spent the money) for you! Throughout the month of December the trainers and staff at PURENERGY tried 3 top brands for “shipped to your home meals.” These companies all come completely assembled and cooked, all you need to do is reheat.  After looking around at several companies we picked Trifecta Nutrition, FlexPro Meals and Factor Meals. All 3 had tons of dietary options and flavors, and it was very easy to navigate their websites/ apps for deliveries. They were also easy to cancel (I ended up keeping my subscription on one for the next several weeks, but the other two companies were easy to cancel with no run around.) We did have one clear winner. And it was based on a specific criteria voted on by everyone who tried them. Overall Shipping and Packing   Quality Price per container (includes

  When you have customers who use your business every day, you get used to them being a part of your daily life. It’s one of my favorite things about owning PURENERGY. Kenneth Forman is someone I see quite regularly. His quiet demeanor and smile are something I have gotten used to seeing as a part of my week. So a few months ago when he and I were the only ones in the gym on a Sunday morning, I stopped to chat with him. I complimented him on his progress that was obvious since he had started working out.  Kenneth is quiet, but once he opens up he has so many great thoughts. He is a very intuitive person towards his mental and physical health. He started working out at the gym in mid 2021 after struggling with injury and isolation during the covid shutdowns. He had tried home workouts without success and knew he needed the accountability of the gym. He now uses his gym schedule as a goal and small routine to have a reason to get through each day. Kenneth struggles with anxiety a

How I got rid of my social media addiction without losing access to social media.

 Oh y'all, I have had the best month. My mind is clear and full of space... I am spending less time on my phone and my days are no longer uprooted by something dumb that was posted on social media.  Yes, I was one of those people. I'll chalk it up to personality and ego. I would get sucked into posts. I'd read comments from people I didn't know and get upset about it. Forever giving "advice" on blogs to people I don't know and would never meet. I was wasting my life and my time and I hated it. As a gym owner I need social media... its great advertising and allows me to stay linked in to our customers as well as get inspired by other pros in the business. I had tried unsuccessfully several times to get rid of the FB app on my phone, only to have a potential customer message me and have to download it all over again if I didn't have access to my laptop.  Around Christmas I made the decision to find a way to reduce social media in my life and started look
