A little CRAZY!

Home...
My name is Katie, and although I have been called many things, "crazy" has been the chosen term of endearment that the hubs so lovingly refers to me as.  I am so excited to now have a blog...an outlet that I plan to use to discuss my favorite topics throughout each day.
Tucker = my happiness!

I love my life.  I live in Tampa with DZ and our two great danes, Tucker and Ziggy.  They are our furry children and are a constant source of entertainment for us.  I am a Pilates instructor/studio owner and take pride in living a healthy lifestyle, whether it be what I put into my body, how I treat and take care of my body and how I view my body.  I strive to keep in perspective what is truly important and try not to sweat the small stuff. 
This is my DZ
I can honestly say that it hasn't always been easy to keep and maintain a balanced mind-set.  I struggled for several years with a very unhealthy relationship with food and had a hard time seeing that I could come out on the other side with an entirely new set of values.  But I did.  Not to say that every day is perfect and that I don't have my setbacks, because I definitely do!  Coming to terms with who I am and who I want to be is still something that I work on daily, but I try to see the bigger picture and realize that my life is passing me by and how sexy is it to dwell on that piece of cake that I had for breakfast when I can be thankful and happy for being a healthy girl with an amazing life!  Having hit what I believe to be is "rock bottom", I now have a newfound purpose, which is to help others learn from my mistakes. I find it very healing to learn everyday more about myself and what I can put in my body (or not put in my body) to ensure that I live a long, healthy, happy life!! 

Food and exercise are my therapy.  There is no greater gift that I can give to myself than to put healthy, natural foods into my body as well as push myself physically, be it through Pilates, running, spinning, etc.  I am a very active girl and LOVE to sweat.  Hey....call me crazy!! 
Ziggy - our little nutball!
Please, please, please use this site as an inspiration, a resource, a guide to help you through any times of struggle or mishap.  I would be more than thrilled to help in any way that I can.  My only hope is that this blog can reach out to others - we only get ONE chance to live this ONE life and I plan on living it to the fullest!!

CARPE DIEM!!
