Can't touch this!

I refuse to give up on my journey; on myself. Despite what obstacles I run into I am determined to stay committed to making myself and my health a priority. So far, that has included the pains of plantar fasciitis. If any of you have ever had it or knows someone that has it, then you knoooww what I'm talkin about! For me, it started off with a little bit of pain walking around barefoot. & I'm always one that if it doesn't seem that serious then I'll just wait it out and wait for whatever the issue is to sort itself out. Buuuuut it didn't sort it self out this time. It actually got worse. So I went and did research on what could help; and obviously went to Amazon for all the reviews left on different products in order to find THE BEST. I ordered some compression foot sleeves. That was the first thing I tried that helped!


Here they are if you would like to check them out! Click the photo/link below if you're interested in ordering!


I also wanted some sort of shoe that would help while walking around; because I obviously can't just walk around all day in just those sleeves. So I found these:

These have been life saving. I walk around the house and everywhere in these. I'll be honest, at first they felt really awkward and uncomfortable because they have an arch support built in. They took a bit of getting used to for me. When I'm getting up in the middle of the night, though, and my foot hates me for stepping/walking I slip these on and boom relief!

At a recent doctor appointment I was also told to try freezing a water bottle and rolling my foot on that. Haven't tried it yet. Do any of you have any suggestion or tried anything that has worked for you?

Quote I want to leave you with::: If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, IF YOU CAN"T WALK THEN CRAWL, BUT WHATEVER YOU DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING! --Martin Luther King


I will crawl to my goals if I have to.

It's a hard reality to realize and come to terms with the fact that growing, in all aspects, is never ending. There will be bumps in the road and there will be hard times. Life isn't all cupcakes, butterflies, and unicorns after all.  I try to stay positive each day. I try to continuously go-go-go. I try to smush down emotions and insecurities and anxiety and all the other scary things that you don't typically want to show. Pretending and making my way day by day with a forced smile at times. Because when people ask, "How are you doing?", most don't really want to know the ugly parts. "How are you doing" is typically just a formality. So, "I'm doing good!" I can just keep pretending both for others and for myself. Because it's so much easier to hide than to show the raw reality of what actually is.  I have been struggling with my anxiety again. Those that struggle with anxiety or any other mental health issues know that it's a j...

YOYO (You're On You're Own)

    Alright, so I wanted to start off by apologizing for this long post/rant, but I wanted to share some REAL TALK here! I won’t even lie try to lie, I had been putting myself on the back burner. I completely stopped focusing on my health & fitness. I picked up all those bad habits that I had dropped. I went right back into the yoyo dieting routine. Only this time, I went up to the heaviest I've ever been. I'm pretty sure so many of you have gone or are going through that yoyo dieting journey. That rollercoaster ride where you stick to your goals for a while & see such awesome results and then hit a bump in the road and fall right back into eating ALL the junk and/or skipping ALL the workouts. Honestly, the reasoning for the fluctuation is different for everyone. This time, for me, it started with family health issues; then it was my own health issues. However, when my mom recovered from her stroke and my back issues healed it really just came down to me just giv...

TRANSFORMATION!!!! Check out that photo down below! That girl on the left had absolutely 0 confidence. I was constantly trying to hide myself. There was a point in my life that I literally would intentionally pick neutral toned clothing with no print/patterns because I did NOT want to stand out or be seen. That girl on the right has grown soooo much it is unbelievable. I have been through a lot. Growth is never linear. To think, though, where I am at now blows my mind. I have gained immense confidence. Freak crop tops....I'm wearing em! 😆. I have learned to love myself throughout my journey; because you are a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously. Embrace your beauty and the journey towards becoming a better you everyday. 😊 If you're interested I would freakin LOOOVE to link arms and take this journey with you!!! I'm lookin for some ladies that need this community like I did! No more wandering alone on this journey unsure of what you're doing. Everything ...
