Hey Ambitious Fam! I’m introducing a new Friday series where I will share all of the random things that gave me all the feels over the course of the week! Be on the lookout for this weekly post which will only be interrupted under special circumstances such as the post of a new bucket list…

GOat with the Flow
Have you ever heard of Goat Yoga? I mentioned on my January Bucket List that I was going to give it a shot this month, and I was not disappointed! Accompanied by friends Anne and Bridget, we settled into a room at Ease Yoga & Cafe in Alexandria and impatiently waited for the goats to…
My Fitness Journey
My Truth I feel the need to preface my story. In truth, this post was hard for me to let myself write. I had toyed with the idea a million times and only eluded to any physical limitations in the past. It is a thousand times easier to hide behind photographs instead of putting my…
How to Become a Morning Exerciser
Let me just start by saying that I NEVER thought I would be a morning workout person. Me? Wake up early to do something? No, that’s just a lie I tell myself to justify going to bed and neglecting whatever work needed to be done. Now that I think about it, never have I ever…
A Letter to My 2017 Self
Last year, I commemorated the end of the year with a letter to myself (read here!) explaining what I had to look forward to and the lessons that I learned. I’m hoping to make it an annual tradition!

November 2018 Wrap Up
Move over pumpkin spice season, time to make room for the holiday season! This month was definitely a little more social than I intended it to be. I celebrated quite a few birthdays (didn’t realize that I had so many Scorpios in my life now), created some new bonds, and deepened some established ones <3…
Veggie Ambitions Challenge
In September, I teamed up with Meaghan (@Joggerof4) for a 5 day work week veggie challenge. The premise of the challenge was simple: have a fruit and/or veggie with every meal. In addition, we planned to keep track of our grocery costs or cost per meal to reiterate that eating healthy doesn’t have to be…
October 2018 Wrap Up
October started off in a whirlwind. I spent my first weekend of the month holed up in a room with 3 other graduate students (all of us were newly acquainted and from different schools) frantically strategizing a solution for a consultation prompt. It was honestly one of the most mentally demanding weekends that I have…
