Reason For the Name

So, its been a few weeks since I started the new blog.  I don't know if any of you (if there is anyone out there reading this) thought about why I decided to name my blog "Cut The Shed".  It's a simple story and hopefully you can get a gist of who I am and where I am coming from.

As I mentioned before, I moved back from Las Vegas, NV (Henderson, really) and miss the Hot Yoga and Pilates studios there.  There is nothing like that in the Antelope Valley---that I think are worth while.  It comes in waves, but I am thinking of getting a Groupon for a studio in the Valley (the Valley being another city 30 minutes away).  That is how much I miss it. I miss the sweating, opening of the pores, and loosening of my muscles in each session!!!  I just miss it, okay!  =)

Anyway, back to the reason for the chosen title.  I promise, I am getting to it.  Since my time back, I thought of ways as to how I can recreate a Hot Studio for myself.  I thought about turning on my shower and letting the steam fill my bathroom and doing a sequence there before a shower, or leaving the garage door closed while working out, or just saying "whatever" and doing it in the hall of my house, hoping for the same results.  Then I remembered a childhood memory, that shed my dad and uncle built  in our back yard to house the lawn mower, edger and pieces of wood for the dog kennel!  I remembered how it was just enough room for one person and how much I wanted to make it my own little living space one day.  ONE DAY ha ha ha.  For those of you that do not know me, I have a love for interior design and small spaces too, so excuse my inside jokes!  I found myself at the Lowe's website canvassing the price of a tool shed and heater/humidifier.  Uhhh yea, a girl can dream right.  I thought about how it would be summer soon and a heater was optional so I could do with out it.

I thought about building the shed (with my buff brothers' help of course) and doing my own hot Pilates/Yoga in there!  Tell me that is not a great idea?  Given the fact that it would take a while before the shed was built, I decided it was just a good "idea".  And there it went, on my LIST.

***I am opening it up to whoever wants to partner with me on the shed idea, please contact me. would love to talk to you!!!***

I talked to my bestie about it and she liked the idea, BUT…with a big BUTT…said, "That is a great idea Jeanine, but let's CUT THE SHED and start with Instagram first."  I said, "Did you just cuss at me?"  She laughed so hard and said, "I know it sounded like that, but seriously, Cut The Shed."  Think big, start logically.  So that is how it started.  I cut the sh** about getting healthy, blogging again, and putting myself out there.  There is nothing to lose…but fat and inhibitions.  =). 

We are both introverts, my bestie and I, but I think I am more so than her.  Thank you friend, for helping me get out of my comfort zone, once again.  

So there you have it.  The reason behind the name.  CUT THE SH**.  Cut it out! 

The:

- What ifs'…

- If only…

- When I…

If I keep going back to my WHAT IF'S, I would not be able to move forward and take on whatever else life puts in my place.  I know this is not the end to my journey, heck I'm in my 20's and I'm going to make the most it it!!!  It's crazy and I honestly do not know where God is taking me, but I'm going where you lead, Lord.  I am stepping into the unknown like every other day I wake up…the difference is, God has gift us with a present…a new day!  A new page to start over!  It us up to us to do the leg work.  (And if today is leg day….awwww mannnn hah ha ha!)  

Everyone, have a great day and know that you are not alone in your journey called life.  

XOXOXO,
