WOW! So it's been about a year and 2 months since I've written anything for this blog. I can't believe it has been that long! Well, lets catch you guys up shall we? So, for those of you who have read my previous blog posts, you may have found them to be random, comical, hopefully a little inspirational but most of all fun ! I would like to continue to maintain the happy vibes throughout this blog and hopefully get you more into what I have been doing. So let's start off with that. What Jax has been up to? TONS . I am still a fitness enthusiast. Running as much as I can, and working out in public. I recently left a construction position where I managed to drop a whopping 50 pounds!! It took 7 months, and a lot of sweat! Working this position made me realize the importance of eating right, sleeping better, and making time for myself and for my happiness. Now this job was very busy, and very strenuous. It resulted in my weight loss and motivation to keep g

SO . Like everyone else in the world... I. Am. Addicted to Pintrest.  On my last venture through the pinning world I recently pinned a run calendar that had a few fun ideas to make my running more interesting and challenging called:   30-Day Running Challenge: 30 Ways to #RunForFun With yesterdays weather being as beautiful as it was, and my legs being in desperate need of some sunshine, I seized my opportunity and took some time for myself to run. It had been a couple of days since I last ran, I've been a tad lazy... probably because I had been bored with my previous running. So I decided to give some of these "ideas" a try. Super Duper Fun thing to do when Running #1: Sing Out Loud This was not on the list, but is my top number 1 fun thing to do... always actually. I didn't think I'd be able to do it while running, you know getting out of breath and all, but it actually made the run that more challenging. Trying to control my breathing, pace, and

Now a days everybody and their grandmas is growing a beard. (Sorry Grammy! But you get what I mean.) Some beards are for pleasure, some are for vanity, and some are for a bet you lost when you told the guys you could get the cute bar tenders phone number. Sentence? Beard of Shame. Now if you are able to grow a beard, yes that's right, not everyone can, there are roughly 10 stages described by the internet, these stages are: Pubescent (meaning no beard), Clean shaven (Obvious), 1 O'clock shadow, 5 O'clock shadow, Light stubble, Medium stubble, Aggressive stubble (When your beard is growing with force), Pre-Beard, Light Beard, Beard... and Sasquatch. (There is no Sasquatch, Chuck Norris just forgets to trim his beard.) You've seen these beards grown and displayed proudly among our hockey players, remaining loyal to tradition these past playoffs. Some of these beards get a little unruly... but they inspire fans every where to grow their beards and for sites like beardath

I work out, in public places. I work out, in public space. I work out, to public faces. I work out, in public. T o your regular gym addict, working out in public is a breeze. Sometimes even a must. But to those of us, (myself to be exact) who have been out of the workout loop due to work and other things, working out in public can be a dreary task. So I searched for another way. Sunday afternoon on May 30th 2015, I had the sudden urge to run. I've never ran before in my life, not in school, not for sports, not for anything. (No not even for my life. Knock on wood!) But that Sunday, I wanted to do it. I wanted to run. It was raining, which in my opinion was a good thing because I didn't want to be seen.  If you have ever seen those funny GIF's where they show how a person thinks they're running compared to how they're actually running... well, I'm that person. So I piled on the clothes, (it was still a bit chilly in May) tied my running shoes tight, and

I have just truly enjoyed a slice of Disney Pixars newest classic I n s i d e O u t !! For 1 hour and 34 minutes, I have frolicked with all the emotions my body has to offer, I have laughed, cried, was angry and scared at times, but I truly was moved by this picture in the best way possible. Without giving away any spoilers, this movie follows the life of a young girl giving you, the viewer, an inside scoop on what's actually going on inside her head. But we don't sit around and examine the emotion's, instead we are taken on a journey that sparks our i m a g i n a t i o n and creativity through wild and adventurous thoughts that truly make this picture worth seeing!  The film takes you from birth right up  until the early stages of life, and hits on key points that are not only important for an adolescent to learn, but also for adults to revisit. With pokes of fun and joy , this movie allows a great lesson to be heard. I personally learned a great life lesson, that a
