Late last week we lost my grandfather. My heart had been slowing breaking for the month before as I knew the end was inevitable. He turned 96 on Tuesday and on this day he entered the hospital. I’m writing to tell this story from a parenting perspective though, so I’ll keep my sadness out of[…]

Well 2017 is shortly coming to a close, as has Month 28 in my Royally Fit world. This month was chaos and all things food delicious, calorie rich and thigh padding. However, I still made time for me and completed most workouts, with 2 left on the agenda for New Years Day. We normally have[…]

So this month was a good month. Not because I dropped the extra 5-10 lbs I’ve been carrying for the last few months due to some not so great eating – that definitely did not happen – or because I smashed 20 workouts in 35 days (with #21 set for today)… it was because I[…]

The holidays are upon us and at this time we often think of others. A quiet angel is a term I use for doing something good without recognition or expectation of anything in return. You give quietly. Just a good deed that makes you feel good. Often when I’ve had a not so great day or[…]

Something that is very important to me is being humble and being charitable. I want to raise my son to give within his means, think of others, understand the importance of giving and to be grateful for everything he has and opportunities we get to experience.

Another month in the books! This month went a lot better than last month and I think I’m back on the path of success again. Changes do not happen over night, but my focus and ability to plan food around my busy schedule was much better. I still had takeout once a week with my[…]

Heading into year 3 of this Royally Fit journey I was motivated. Particularly motivated about the food side of things. This is definitely where I need the most work. So how did the first month of food focus go? Well it was not stellar. I started off the month on fire – for everything from[…]

The only one who can keep ourselves truly accountable is ourselves. Thank you Royally Fit for encouraging me to bring accountability and motivation to myself. Monday, August 31st 2015 my life changed. I decided to make an investment in myself and commit to myself. I joined Royally Fit. I have been on and off the health[…]

Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue Private Workshop – For The Kids! It is very important for all of us to connect with nature, the environment and learn about conservation. Particularly important for our youngest generation who have been exposed to a world of electronics early on, to put them down and get outdoors! In September we[…]

Month 23! So close to my current goal! So my motto that sums up this month is “I am still fit and fabulous, but I have ate myself a little squishy!”. It happens. It is summer and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I have made memories, enjoyed stadium hot dogs and scrumptious buttertarts (see Jill’s Humble[…]
