Hello QC Fam - 

In this episode, I talk about how I'm taking a break from workout challenges. It's going to be tough for me, but at the same time very needed. I got to a spot in my life where I'm confident with how I look, and I don't want to lose the work I put in. At the same time, I don't want to have an unhealthy relationship with working out. November and December will be focused on resting my body and not doing any high impact high intensity workouts. I want to still incorporate moving in some way, because moving your body is amazing for you. I will still include light walking and yoga into my daily routine.  

Cheers to the next two months!! 

I'll be letting you know more details about this "resting challenge" once I have figured them out, but I wanted to update you guys :).

Hello QC Fam ! 

This week I took on probably the hardest challenge yet -- one week of no chocolate. I love chocolate, it's delicious, it's amazing, it's tasty. But I wanted to challenge myself to not have any chocolate this week, no matter how bad I wanted it. 

In this episode I talk about:

Hey QC Fam ! 

One week of bedtime yoga was the challenge for this week !!! Although it seems like an easy challenge, changing your bedtime/nighttime routine is harder than it sounds! 

In this episode, I talk about the PROs and benefits of bedtime yoga along with the very minor CON of it. Then I mention tips to change our nighttime routine so we can incorporate our bedtime yoga !!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!! 

In the Haunted Quarantine Series Finale ... 

I talk about the most scariest paranormal experience I ever had. Then I talk about the Blue Moon and what to expect from it.  To close the series, I go into a room that I find to be the scariest and use the ghost radar app .... and I get so much activity from this app... the most I've gotten so far ! 

Thank you guys so much for letting me do this series and listening to the episodes !!! I'm so sad this chapter is coming to an end ... but maybe I'll bring the spooky intro's back in the future before next halloween.
