DON'T MIND THE MESS - 1 Month Postpartum Progress by Alison Capra

When it comes to fitness or anything else- If are developing yourself - until you reach your own personal success; remember you are under construction! Maybe you just had a baby, maybe you never lost the baby weight, maybe you just fell off he wagon. It doesn’t matter, start NOW and…

DON’T MIND THE MESS!

What does that mean for me now? That means I couldn’t care less how I look in the gym when I am sweating my ass off. That means I get really excited to share my progress.

And that means I will never let my “body under construction” discourage me from my ultimate goal.

How NOT to be a Miserable Cow - Avoid the BLOAT AND SWELLING by Alison Capra

We have all been there, gorging ourselves with salt, chocolate wine and advil. For many of us “that time of the month” there are NO RULES. I used to give up once a month and just make a tray of cream cheese stuff Jalapeno poppers and power down on Oreos while I drank myself into my happy place to avoid cramps. But without fail, my jeans go tighter, my feet and hands would swell and I would avoid stepping on the scale until a good week and half after my period bloat was over.

How to Be Successful - Focus on Your Own $hit by Alison Capra

It’s taken me a very long time to truly grasp the amount of work it takes to see your vision through. At almost 35 years old, I am starting to understand what it takes to create the life you want. People often ask me HOW TO “START”… I spent the first half of my life serving under the vision of others. I made myself indispensable. How does one do that? I’m so glad you asked:

HOW I STARTED OVER .... AGAIN by Alison Capra

Five years ago I had no idea what I was gonna do with my skill set, where I was going to lay my head, or where I would find my new tribe. I was going through my second divorce. After a year of trying to make it work in Kansas City, I decided a move was in the cards and the best thing for my well being. I left everything I had, my home, my family, my friends, and my stepsons. I had a suitcase full of clothes, no money in my bank account, and on my 30th Birthday I crashed on a friend’s couch with a bottle of cinnamon whiskey in my hand. I made my way to …

WHY I'M NOT A FEMINIST by Alison Capra

Women throughout our history have changed the way we operate in America. WE being women. We have a voice, we have rights, we can drive, we can vote, we have rights to do whatever we want with our lives in this country. These women fought a battle for us that has seemingly been one of the largest things separating us from 2nd and 3rd world countries.

"I'm NEVER Getting Married Again!" by Alison Capra

I got married for the first time at 19, mostly because I wanted to have my entire life mapped out before I started living it. Seems strange right, I am a free-spirit, artistic, gypsy right? Well the truth is, as much as I love to travel, enjoy life, and wear bright orange.... I also really enjoy control. I enjoy feeling like I am IN-CHARGE of the direction the wind blows me. Welp, lesson learned. We are NEVER in charge. God, the Universe, LIFE - whatever you wanna call it, lets us make choices; but knows that other individuals make bad ones too that effect us, and things just HAPPEN that will ALWAYS be outside of our control. Just like a public shitter.
