Self Health September | Getting Started

-

I've been wanting to get back in to shape for a while now but was one of those people that just would keep putting it off and making up lame excuses. I finally said the only way to get back in is by  starting off big by committing to do it for a whole month. So I started Self Health September, where every day I would workout and eat clean. When I started these first five days, my weight started off at 216 lbs where my body was always hurting, and feeling fatigued. I feel that loving who you are in your own body is very important, but how I was feeling in my body made me need to make a change. 



From the beginning I had to start planning every meal for the week. Waking up even earlier in the morning to workout, cook breakfast and pack a healthy lunch. The first day I had an appointment to get to before work, so I had to wake up even earlier. After day two it started becoming easier and got me into a pretty good routine. Working in the middle of the day made it hard to workout at a gym so it started to get repetitive making me want to branch out my routine. I felt pretty motivated after seeing that after five days I had already lost 4 lbs. I couldn't wait for my days off to get to try a new workout. 

Now to  keep up with my Self Health September journey, be sure to follow on Instagram and YouTube for the next five day video. Feel free to also #selfhealthseptember for your own health journey, so we all can help each other to the same goal.

Fall is finally here and that means apple cider, camp fires, pumpkins, and festivals. This past month we went to one of our favorites, the Chick Event . This year it took place at Johnson Farms in Belton, Missouri; they are also a pumpkin and garden center. Chick Event is a pop-up market of vintage and handmade items based out of our neighboring state, Leawood, Kansas. They do many events throughout the year throughout Kansas and Missouri. We like going to their events to get great deals from local artists and not only that but you also support local artists.

Market Weekend

A weekend filled with flea market hunting. I start the weekend off by going to a women's expo, where I met the lovely Meg Melchert, owner of Ink'd and Classi. Then Rosie and I went to The Vintage Whites Market for its first year here in Kansas City MO West Bottoms. There were a lot of very cute vendors, one in particular, Market Collective which had the cutest vintage shoes and bags. The next day we went to the River Market/City Market. We went to look at their flea market where we had a booth a few weeks before. Then got some great food and coffee. We ended the day with getting a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers for $10. So check out the links blow and subscribe and give the video a thumbs up!!

Everyone has something they favor over something else.  You see it all the time - current favorites, monthly favorites, the best of this or that, the items most loved or most used, etc.  I thought I would share with you five things I most cherish in my life, but I certainly have more favorites than these.  I put together a video montage above, but I would like to go into detail on why these five things are my favorite.
