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.

Self Health September | Spin Class

So these next five days seemed harder than I thought they would be. I started having less time to make a full breakfast so I started the smoothie era. Tried cooking my own spaghetti, which didn't turn out the way I would have hoped. Saw a little moment of me editing and putting up the first of Self Health September videos and blog post. Still working out at home either in the morning or after work, which I was working towards doing different workouts.

Solar Eclipse Path of Totality 2017

Last Monday I got to witness being in the Path of Totality Solar Eclipse. This might be the only one I will see in my lifetime and some people go their whole life never seeing one, so I felt very lucky and wanted to share it with the rest of the world. Not the best shot of it but it is my experience. I sadly had to work this day, so I was not able to go to one of the many Solar Eclipse Events happening around town. Being in Kansas City made it a little bit harder to see it in its full beauty. So amazed by the amount of people who stop everything they were doing to watch this Eclipse.

It's that time again. Kansas City Fashion Week is back for their 12th season and in full swing with Spring/Summer 2018 shows. We kicked it off with the Garden Party held at Van Noy Mansion . This is where they had the kick off party last year as some of you may know by following us. The beautiful mansion had a flower wall in their entryway for the perfect photo backdrop. The photos were taken by Chuck Mason , a portrait photographer based in the Kansas City Metro area. They had a massive tent set on the lawn by the small pond to the side of the mansion, all wonderfully decorated by Events by Reagan and flowers from Hyvee . The DJ from Icon Event Group , was setting the party vibes.
