That Time I Decided to Change It All Up

So...why is this space all new?

It's simple, and it's not.

I explained a lot of it in this post, but long story short, I was trying to be something I'm not. And I'm sure you've had experience on how it goes when you try to force something that just. is. not. happening.

It's exhausting.

And that's what I was doing. I'll own it.

I am not fitness machine.
I don't LOVE working out every day.
I don't LOVE eating vegetables all day.
I still can only do five solid push-ups on my toes before I have to take it to my knees.
And that's what I was trying to make this space. A place for fitspo, eating clean ALL THE TIME, and basically being a robot.

But that's not me, and trying to make that me was just another thing I was juggling.

So I took a break when the bottom fell out and I was just sick and tired of forcing it anymore, and I thought about who I REALLY was.

And here is what I know:
I'm a wife.
A mom.
A sister.
A daughter.
A friend.
A child of God.

I am all of these things, and I just want to make a difference in the world the best way I know how. If I can let one woman know that it's okay to have a bad day, to not be perfect all the time, to not put unnecessary pressure on themselves, then my job is done.

Life is messy (check it out in the header!), but I am going to love it anyway. I am all about bringing it in a REAL way. The good, the bad, the ugly. The days I skip my workouts, the days I eat junk. I'll be honest and real.

We all struggle. But I want it to not only be about the outcome, but enjoying the mess in the middle.

It's my hope that this space will be a safe space. For me, for you, for anyone who needs it. The This Misfit Mama Book Club is starting soon (click here for more info and to sign up!), I'll still be running my monthly boot camps, and I'll still have some fun free challenge groups every so often.

But really, I do hope you'll stick around. The best is really yet to come over here!
