Today is World Kindness Day, but shouldn’t we be

Today is World Kindness Day, but shouldn’t we be kind EVERY day? 🩷

“World Kindness Day is to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness for good which binds us. Kindness is a fundamental part of the human condition which bridges the divides of race, religion, politics, gender and location.”

One of our most popular pins on Pinterest is a post from many years ago about Angela’s Random Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar for her kids. The kids are now grown, but I’d like to think I’ve taught them kindness throughout their childhood, not just during Advent, but through acts of kindness in our daily lives. 🩷

And while you’re at it, don’t forget to be kind to yourself. ☺️

🏃‍♀️From Setback to Comeback: My Return t

🏃‍♀️From Setback to Comeback: My Return to Running!🌟

It’s been over a year since my last run. A knee injury sidelined me, but it also taught me patience, perseverance, and the importance of listening to my body.

Today, I laced up and hit the treadmill again—it felt good (and a little humbling)! Here’s what I’ve learned on this journey:

1️⃣ Rest is Progress: Taking time off was hard, but healing was the first step to running again.
2️⃣ Start Slow, Stay Consistent: My first run was a walk-run combo, and that’s perfectly okay. Progress is the goal, not perfection.
3️⃣ Celebrate Every Milestone: 1 mile, 10 minutes, or just showing up—every step counts.

🌈 Whether you’re coming back from an injury, a life change, or just taking a break—remember, you’re never starting over. You’re starting stronger. 💪

What’s YOUR comeback story? Share it below—we’d love to cheer you on! 👇

Angela and Deena thank all Veterans today, especia

Angela and Deena thank all Veterans today, especially our own personal heroes, our dads. We are both “military brats” (read below on how this term came to be), our dads both serving in the Air Force and Army, respectively. Today we’d like to take a moment to honor and thank all the military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.

❤️🤍💙

The term “military brat” pre-dates the American Revolution and actually originated from the British military. When wives and children were granted permission to accompany their British military service member to an assignment, they were referred to as a British Regiment Attached Traveler, or BRAT. #funfact 😊

TGIF! For your Friday entertainment, I present my

TGIF! For your Friday entertainment, I present my October Adult Contemporary dance video. This is a little reminder, not everything is as it seems!

1. No real tainted love here. I was “acting”. The only guy who ever broke my heart I ended up marrying, so I won in the end. 😉❤️

2. This was the easiest choreography for me to emote because I didn’t have to worry about the right facial expressions. I just turned on my RBF and let it do its thing. 😂😠

3. This routine kicked my ass every time I danced it. The floorwork was hard, it worked my core, I was out of breath. Yet, looking at the video, it doesn’t appear that way. I can still watch it and think, oh I went too soft here, or I could have gone harder there. So I’m either out of shape (likely), or I executed it well enough to make it look easy.

4. Dang it that kick! I use to be able to kick my leg by my ear during the old Redskin days. But age and a hurt hammy just minutes before we filmed this, resulted in a lower than I would have liked kick. I feel tainted. 😑

But I really had fun with this one. I’m not a “dark” person in general so it was fun to be different. 🖤

Health and Wellness is more than just exercising a

Health and Wellness is more than just exercising and eating well—it’s about finding balance in every aspect of our lives. True wellness means nurturing our body, mind, and spirit. But in our busy, everyday lives, how do we fit it all in? Angela and Deena are focusing on setting aside a short amount of time every day in 3 key areas:

🪷Movement to energize our body and mind
🪷Home care to cultivate a calm and organized space
🪷Personal development to nourish our mind and soul

Read more about what we’re each doing in these 3 areas on our journey to strive for wellness at www.everydayroadtohealthy.com (link in bio).

Remember, wellness is a journey, not a destination. Small, consistent changes can lead to lasting, positive impact on your health! 💚🤎

Stay healthy!

Happy Halloween!! 👻 Last night I lived out a lifelong dream of being a backup dancer in a music video! 😁 Last year I started taking adult contemporary classes at Ashburn Academy of Dance and just last month I stepped a little outside my comfort zone and added adult hip hop to my schedule. This video production was the work of our awesome instructor, choreographer, photographer and videographer extraordinaire, Jose Soto. So fun!! In the words of actress Michelle Yeoh, “Ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime.” 🧡🖤

I thought I had it figured out. I thought I needed

I thought I had it figured out. I thought I needed more cardio, more intense gym workouts in my life. 🏋️ While I wasn’t totally wrong because I definitely needed more MOVEMENT in my life, what really moved the scale for me was just simple science.👩🏻‍🔬 Calories in needed to be less than calories out. Period. I didn’t need to starve myself, I didn’t need to incorporate 5+ days of high-calorie burn workouts, I just needed to know more about the food I was putting in my body and add more movement into my daily routine. Seems simple, right? It’s not. 😬 It’s definitely harder to implement than I thought, but more on that in a later post. For now, here’s the science behind it:

Your body needs energy (calories) to perform basic functions like breathing, digestion, and moving. These functions make up your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). When you eat, the calories from food provide this energy.

If you consistently consume more calories than your TDEE, the excess is stored as fat. Conversely, if you eat fewer calories than you burn, your body taps into stored fat for energy, leading to weight loss.

The key is maintaining this deficit over time, WHILE ENSURING YOU GET THE NUTRIENTS YOU NEED FOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS.

Calories in < Calories out

I had to really be honest with myself in what I was eating. That was hard. And I had to get up off my butt and MOVE (walking, dancing, pickleball, gym training). I plan to share more later but for now I wanted to share the science. 🤓

Stay healthy!

Disclaimer: I am not certified in anything. These are just things I discovered while going through my own personal experience with a certified coach. And as simple as this equation is, I know there are many health factors that play in to how our body metabolizes this energy that makes it not so simple.
