Because of my daily work towards a sound mind and body I have been able to let go of so many fears. With each small
I’m feeling more authentically me than I ever have. I’m excited and curious see what else this spirit of mine can lead me towards!

My favorite comment from the assessor’s notes was: “you teach with such joy that it was a pleasure to watch.”
Can’t wait to start this next chapter of my fitness journey as an instructor!
Not the most exciting #transformationtuesday but it’s still important.
The first picture is my sleep from this week, the 2nd is my sleep before I started keeping my phone across the room, and 3rd is my sleep a year ago.
My deep sleep is getting so much better. I’m also no longer having stretches of being up in the middle of the night due to “checking my phone” and getting sucked in.
I’m only sleeping a little longer on average, but the QUALITY of my sleep is so much better.
Perhaps you can set a 2019 intention to move your phone to across the room at night.
I had a lot of years of uncertainty in what was next in my life. From seriously job searching in southern California for all of 2015 into 2016, to starting my current job and getting the house and moving in w/ T in summer 2016 to all the work and renovation drama of 2017 oh and getting engaged – no pressure. Finally 2018 had been a calm year in many ways and I feel like I can really set my sights on the future that’s within my reach.
I have long been one for New Years resolutions, but for 2018 I set an intention…
Jeff Bezos has famously said about work-life balance that it is “a debilitating phrase because it implies there’s a strict trade-off.“ He goes on to say, “I think work-life harmony is a good framework. I prefer the word ‘harmony’ to the word ‘balance’ because balance tends to imply a strict tradeoff.” Bezos said that the relationship between his work life and personal life is reciprocal, and that he doesn’t compartmentalize them into two competing time constraints. “It actually is a circle. It’s not a balance.”
I don’t complete disagree with Mr. Amazon, but for 2018 balance for me meant more than work-life balance. My life needed balance. I needed to work out, sleep enough, eat right, spend quality time with loved ones, budget better, break my phone addiction, relax, and not spend any unnecessary hours at work.
2018 isn’t quite over yet – I’ll be sure to recap all the things I was able to log and measure for the past year – but I am pretty proud of sticking to my intention. I feel such a sense of relief, optimism, and alignment. I found my equilibrium. I think having my Mondays to myself for the past few months and really making MeasuringLife my main squeeze as opposed to treating her like a dirty mistress had made all the difference.
Filmed with Pump friends and instructor friends today for my #bodypump instructor assessment video.
The energy was great and I was happy with my instructing, even with two minor errors that I can chalk up to being overly excited.
Just submitted my video now and hope to hear back in the next week or so!!
Top of my 2019 list are:

I’ve done a lot of thinking and reflecting about fear this past year.
Both how crippling it can be and yet how truly irrational most fears are.
.
FEAR can mean 1 of 2 things:
Face Everything And Rise
or
Fear Everything And Run
.
I’m so glad I took 2018 to rise up. 2019 is going to be all about no regrets.
A key part of my journey this year was to face my fears head on.
What will 2019 hold for you?
