There are many fitness magazines on the market, and most focus on how to improve the performance and endurance by going faster and lasting longer. Is that really the interest of all readers?
How can a reader focus on that with a couple of children, a deployed partner, and health issues? When you’re in this category, the focus is maintaining the enjoyment of your fitness program, which could be running, walking, or cycling.
Many athletes dream of representing their country as olympians at the International Olympic Games. These athletes train hard for four years, but there’s no guarantee their dreams will be fulfilled. The training is endless, and for many, they still have full-time jobs and family lives to balance. Once the person makes the commitment to train, they must set priorities.
Brandi and I have been friends for nearly two decades now. We joke that we are each other’s “oldest” girlfriend, so we can pretty much talk about anything. She is a passionate gal and a fellow blogger. Recently, she posted something on Facebook that really got me thinking, which blossomed into a conversation that we now dub “State of the Uterus.”
I don’t know what the deal is, but some people, both inside and outside the military spouse circle, don’t seem to have boundaries or discretion on some personal discussion topics.
I debated sharing this post for quite some time, not because I felt I needed to keep my infertility a secret, but because I wasn’t confident I wanted complete strangers to know such private details.
However, one of the struggles women and men face when they receive a diagnosis of infertility is a lack of strong community to lift them up. You can’t receive loving support if you hide in isolation; you have to share your struggle in order to get what you need.
It’s that time of year again. The time when we turn our attention to the coming new year and begin to ponder all we hope to accomplish in it. Goal setting is healthy, even necessary. As Benjamin Franklin said, “He who aims at nothing is bound to hit it.” This is surely true. Waking each morning with a goal or two in mind gives us a sense of purpose, and accomplishing a goal drives us to pursue another.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (just in case you didn’t know), and there are pink ribbons everywhere.
For those that don’t know me, I am a two-time breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed the first time at 32 in 2010. Then, just a few weeks before my husband returned home from his third deployment in 2014, the cancer returned.
Nothing says “Welcome home, Babe,” quite like the words “The cancer is back.”

Fitness is a life-long journey. Once you learn how to ride a bike, you don’t forget, but if you go years without riding, as soon as you get on one it’s a little rough getting started again. The same holds true for fitness of any type—running or walking. You know you can do it, but your joints are tight and you feel every step the next day.
