G.R.O.W for April

Monday, April 6, 2026

G — Goal

I want to build a lifestyle I can actually stick to. Not just lose weight for a bit, but be someone who takes care of myself consistently like eating better, staying active, and feeling more confident.


R — Reality 

Right now I’m pretty inconsistent. I start strong but fall off when things get busy or I lose motivation. My habits aren’t solid yet, and I tend to go all in or not at all.


O — Options

Keep a simple workout routine each week, make better food choices most days, not perfect, plan ahead a little so I’m not winging everything and focus on small habits I can repeat


W — Will

This month I’m committing to showing up consistently, even if it’s not perfect. I’ll stick to the routine, make better choices daily, and not quit when I have a bad day.

Snow Tubing!

Tuesday, February 24, 2026

 For Carmen's birthday over the weekend we went tubing at Buck Hill. It has been several years since I have done this. The snow as VERY fast. My first time down I busted through the fence at the end of the course. We got to do about 6 runs in the two hours that we had. It was very cold and I'm so glad I had hand warmers. We made Tiago go with us and I think he had a good time.  Afterwards we went to their house for pizza and cake. It was a fun day!






Tiago is here!

 Tiago arrived from Brazil in January and promptly got his driving permit, enrolled in Mankato West High School and got a job. It is so great seeing him again. He was a baby when they moved to Brazil. This past weekend I took some Senior pictures for him over the weekend. Here are a few of the good ones.
