Oh my gosh, you guys! I haven’t written anything in a long time! When summer came, things around here got very busy with camps, county fair, a quick trip to Okoboji, and moving our youngest to college. I had this crazy idea that September would slow down, and while it has in some ways, we had some big things happen…
This post was supposed to go up in March to go along with my March theme of Stay Strong. However, I was feeling uninspired and unmotivated. Those feelings permeated pretty much all aspects of my life. I wasn’t running. I wasn’t doing strength. I wasn’t eating very well. I wasn’t getting things done that needed done for my business. During…
I think we have all been in the position of having something we need to do, want to do, know we should do, and just can’t bring ourselves to do it. It could be exercise, cleaning, a project at work or at home, or even a phone call that we need to make. Somehow we just can’t get motivated to…
Have you ever started a project, gotten into it, and then got all frustrated and crabby and wondered why you even started it? That closet was just fine. Now it’s just a mess everywhere and you can’t decide what to get rid of or where to put things. Yes, everything was falling out every time you opened the door, but…
January is coming to a close. This has been a challenging month for me in a couple of ways one of which was not being able to run. It has been almost two months since I ran due to pain in my foot and heel from what I think is plantar fasciitis. Not running leaves me feeling physically and mentally…
It’s January! It’s 2024! And I am not as motivated as I would like to be. As I said when I posted the January Family Activity Calendar, I wasn’t fully ready to start the new year on January 1st. I needed a few days to reflect on the past month and past year as well as look ahead to what…
While I’m not going to make you do handstands in the snow (unless you really want to), I do want to give you a few ideas for outdoor and indoor workouts as well as some yummy recipes and plenty of other fun things to do. Enjoy! Be sure to post pictures of your activities and tag Julia on the Edge…
The past year was one of change, growth, and adjustment. I went from going to an office at a hospital 4 days a week to working from home 7 days a week. During that time at home, I also got laundry done, dishes done, meals made, strength training, running, walks with my dog, going to see my daughter at college…
I don’t know about you, but these years keep going by faster and faster! How is it 2023 already?? As I have been preparing for this new year with new goals, I looked back at my yearly and monthly themes from 2022. I chose each monthly theme based on where I was mentally, emotionally, and physically and focused on what…
