Well Hello There

Thanks for checking out my brand new blog! This is my first post as Choosing to Reset and I’m a little nervous. I am an accidental Instagramer that has ended up with quite a few friends following along.

The Instagram platform is awesome and allows me to connect with people for one minute and thirty seconds every single morning but frequently I want to share information that they can refer back to or provide a little more information and a blog seems like the perfect solution.

But my technology skills are not great.

But what if I build it and no one comes?

What if I fail?

Putting myself out there is hard. Imposter Syndrome is a real thing and the Instagram account pushes me out of my comfort zone so why in the world would I want to start another platform? Well, three reasons:

1. I will be able to have a searchable resource library for y’all .

2. One of my personal goals is to learn something new every

month and this is definitely something new.

3. I have a friend who says “Do something that scares you

every day.” She believes it’s what makes us grow

emotionally.

Soooo, I hope you find the information I share helpful and if you don’t already follow me on @choosing_to_reset on Instagram.

Based on what I have gathered from questions and conversations on my site, my first few posts are going to be about interval walking, resistance and balance exercises, better bad food choices, and weighted vests.

I would love to hear what you want me to post.

Have a great day friends!

    Love the goal of learning something new every month. I’m going to try that! Finding something that scares me every day sounds scary….maybe every other day for me to start!

    Off to a great start! I look forward to the topics you have listed that you plan to discuss. I am also a retired Texan. I no longer get outside to walk every day (gets really hot and windy down here on the Coast), but I do go to a 45 minute weight and resistance band class five days a week. Also work out with the trainer a couple of days a week. Isn’t it amazing what we older folks can learn?

    Good Morning! I’m following you on Instagram and hopped over here to check out your new blog. Nice job and I appreciate the clean and easy to read design. As a former blogger for several years I found it fun to connect with folks from all over. I bet you will too. Your message is a pleasant way to start my day.

    So glad you decided to start a blog! I enjoy your Instagram reels, but look forward to additional details! I am a regular walker and am winding down my business/career. I am looking forward to being able to be out for longer periods and can’t wait to hear what you have to say about weighted vests! Love your great attitude!

    This is very exciting to see someone step out of their comfort zone and inspire the rest of us. A job very well done Karen. I look forward to following your blogs as well as your Instagram. The fact that you are humble makes you even more appealing. Keep up the great work!

    Hi Karen. I’m starting at the beginning with my walking journey. My husband passed away four years ago and I just need to do this for myself. You’re a very sweet friend who encourages me every day. God bless. Marge

    I am so delighted to find your blog after stumbling across your Instagram reel. What an inspiration! Thank you for starting this blog to have info that you will share here; I often try to find something I saw on Instagram after the fact and it can be quite a pain to find again. I appreciate you.
