All of the stuff...

Fitness, Health, Crossfit, Houston, My life... and some stuff that I like. I would love to hear from and talk to everyone. About fitness or nerdy stuff or whatever. Instagram : hbowens

Fitbit doesn’t give a shit about my burns. Their customer service is very dismissive of my situation.

It’s been a minute.

I’ve been doing things.

Lots of things actually.

But mainly, in the forefront of my mind all of the time is staying present. Knowing how I feel in my body. Physically and emotionally. I’m realizing more and more each day that 37 is my year of self. Mindfulness. Gratitude. Instead of focusing on the what could be, the what I did wrong... I’m focusing on every moment like it’s my last. I’m extending grace to everyone, even those who may not deserve it. Because life is energy, and you get back the energy you give out.

Grateful is the name of the game. Especially as of late. I think this last year of my life has certainly been one of change and growth. I feel stronger mentally and emotionally. I definitely have a long way to go and everyone including me can keep growing, but I am certainly happy with the progress I have made thus far.

I love being active it. This year I have gotten away from my barbell a little and gotten on my yoga mat a lot. My body composition has changed to reflect that. At first it was hard to see... less muscular definition, but now I love the changes I think. I still feel very strong, and I feel like my body represents an active lifestyle. Maybe the positivity I feel just shows up in my face? Who knows? 🤷🏾‍♀️

Everyday we rush. We often don’t think about the people around us, also rushing. Our it’s too hot for this, stuck in traffic, line is too long at Starbucks, gotta get to where I am going, cant even think about giving a fuck attitudes. It’s how we operate, it’s how I OPERATED for a long long time. Giving a fuck is a funny thing, the more you seem to care about your surroundings, about others, about yourself; those things seem to care about you more too. This past 365 days of my life has shown me more about myself than I ever thought a year could share. I believe the universe cared a little bit more abut me because I cared and at least acknowledged it a little more. Im feeling grateful. #namaste #thoughts #positivity #givingafuck #getinwhatyouputout #grateful

Having friends with children is always so fun. It also allows me to try out things that I’m thinking about making fornmy classroom. Today, we did homemade playdough. It was really easy. It’s just, flour salt water lemon juice olive oil, essential oils (optional) andnfood coloring. I’m pretty satisfied with how it turned out. The baby liked it too.

This weekend was for yoga, birthday parties and lazy industrial overalls. I’m just so obsessed with this army green jumper.

Life hands us so many things. Everything moves so fast sometimes we don’t every know how to touch it. We focus and hyper focus on the little things.

Lately I have been letting people push and stress me to a place I don’t like to be. Focusing on the negative. Hyperfocusing on this and people that upset me. But recently I’ve decided that I’m not letting the little things win. Because if you think little and live little then you become little.

I am breathing in what I need, and letting go of the things that no longer serve me. People included.

I hope you make the cut.

It isn’t pretty, but it’s my work and I held it.

Got on my mat and moved a little today. It’s been a. Slow workout week. I’ll take this as a semi win. I better get into a real class tomorrow tho.

Hey summer. I’m so glad you’re here. Just loving life. Learning to not give a F if I don’t look as tiny or perfect as the next person. I work hard and feel great, that’s all that matters. #yolo #summer #summerbody #itssummer #heresmybody #whateverforever #active

I came home for a visit with my family for the 4th. It’s been beautiful so far. After last nights festivities I got up with the sun and craved to move on my mat. Awaking my body felt great, but it was also in the moment of stillness and empty thought that I really felt my gratitude.

I am grateful for my life and it’s abundance. For my families unwavering love. For the earth and it’s resilience.

I don’t often shop or buy new clothes so I was excited to snag this find. Totally casual jumper from Old Navy. Nothing fancy, but it has potential.
