FFF Has A NEW Look

After yesterday’s upsetting news, my mind still has a mess of thoughts running through it and I still feel a little emotionally drained. You all know how much of a passion blogging is for me and I wish I could create some sort of inspirational post right now. Or any post of semi-quality.

But I can’t. I don’t have the words in me right now. And that’s okay. This blog relates to living my life to the fullest, healthiest, and happiest possible – but it’s still about life. Sometimes life includes parts that simply suck and that you can’t express too well. Right now is one of those times and I have to own it instead of covering it up.

Despite not having much to say I do have something to show you. The past couple of months I have been working with Kristen from Ahoy Graphics for a new logo, blog design, etc. The new look of Faith Fitness Fun is now officially up and running. Please check it out and let me know what you think. I hope you like it!

Today, I Coped

Today, I coped by crying.
Today, I coped by
researching to help ease the immediate fears I had.
Today, I coped by
being there for a friend during the loss of his father and gaining some much needed perspective.
Today, I coped by punching and kicking out emotional tension with a workout
.
Today, I coped by
remembering food does not feed emotions.
Today, I coped by praying.
And today, I will cope by turning to you all for support.

My mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis today. The most wonderful, giving, loving, and selfless person I have ever known. It came completely unexpected. I can’t help but feel afraid as watching a loved one’s health diminish is one of my ultimate fears. All I can say is the only way I know I can continue to cope is with faith. I appreciate any prayers, positive thoughts, or whatever you got sent my mother’s and my family’s way as we adjust to this news. And super prayers for the health of the best woman out there. I love you, Mom.

It’s kind of funny. I become a certified personal trainer and the first workouts I turn to this week come from someone else. The book came in for me at the library last week and, after flipping through it, I couldn’t wait to give the circuits a go. Making The Cut includes a lot of […]
