Goooood Morning Sunshine! Just think this is the last day of 2022 “wowza” how time goes by so fast! However, no matter how fast time goes the best way to make a “lasting impact” is to help others. Invest in the lives of those around you and create a legacy of service. 

Sick, Sick, Sick ~ omg day two I can't believe it I'm never around anyone! It started Monday night holy fire my throat was hurting so bad I couldn't sleep without a cough drop and couldn't swallow. I decided to go in everything came back negative which is great! Tuesday morning, I get up and felt worse get the littles ready for school then back home to try and take bailey for a walk "bad idea" came home on the couch. Stayed on the couch until I picked up my lils. Then back to the couch UGH I hate this feeling... Wednesday waiting to wake the lils up take them to school and back to bed. Blane is you guessed at work. 

I guess I have to take a few days off lol.....

Life is all about making choices. Always do your best to make the right ones, and always do your best to learn from the wrong ones.

I've changed up my eating and started spreading my meals throughout the day that seems to help my stomach, I wasn't running to the rest room like crazy, now I just need to remove the whey protein out little by little and try and eat healthier whole foods. 

 The key to being happy is knowing you have the power to choose what to accept and what to let go

Pilates in the morning, run 6 miles in the fog,,, off to work and HOCKEY starts whoohooooo!

One day you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always wanted. Do them now, life is to short to wait! 

Quick 6 miles in before the crazy day and then trick or treat with everyone!

 "A positive attitude brings much gratitude! Think positive, Be positive, Speak positive and stay positive. Do it every day and do it big.

The morning was filled with Snot and Smiles! 4 miles turned into 8, only 3 woods stop to go with that. I wanted to finish this week with 50 miles, and I finished with 51. I'm struggling with getting my speed back and how tough it is with GI issues is crazy! #fastpants on and get it done! #goals right?

Weight training tonight! 

Always "Be thankful for everything, because everything teaches you something." #heartleaf

Great dreadmill run this am watching Ironman Utah 70.3 

Nice walk with Bailey Bear 

 

 HaPpY Fri-YAY Sunshine! Remember ~

"Your dream/goal doesn’t have an expiration date. Take a deep breath and keep working towards it.

"Let’s Go!

The morning started with an easy 6-mile dreadmill run while watching Ironman Utah 70.3 followed by walk with Bailey Bear..   

Always remember ~You can rise up from anything. You can completely recreate yourself. Nothing is permanent. You're not stuck. You have choices. You can think new thoughts. You can learn something new. You can create new habits. All that matters is that you decide today and never look back. "Let’s GO!"

Thursday ~ Training 

Pilates 45 

3-mile run

Went to the doctor today that didn't go as planned, the information I received was crazy! They thought I could be bleeding because of my hysterectomy that I had in 2018, and they thought I needed to work on my pelvic floor muscles with a PT "WHAT?" I've been doing Pilates for only 20 years give me a break to add to that I am a personal trainer with 23 years' experience DUH! I was so mad! 

  

Thankfully, I went with my gut instincts and called for a second opinion and that doctor was right on he knew what the heck I was talking, and he knew what he was talking about. 

Now I just have to wait and see what to do next he did make a suggestion to go pick up some 

 Citrucel so off to Wal-Mart. 

No second run tonight I have such a stomachache. 

Wednesday

Rise & Shine Sunshine’s, remember you attract the energy that you give off. SMILE! Be Inspired! Spread good vibes! Think Positively! Enjoy Life! Let’s G!

Training today "baby jog 3 easy miles" that's all I could do, my body said NOPE so I grabbed out the dumbbells and weight trained for 3o min. walked Bailey two miles then off to work. 

What a fun filled day at Kicking Bear.

#kickingbear 

 

Always ~"Be weird. Be happy. Be grateful. Be positive. Be open-minded. BE YOU!"

5:30 am Pilates time and Bailey Bear wanted to join,,, 

Tuesday Run, Run 

I was looking so forward to running today even if it was 41 out so much different then yesterday! Well, I made it a mile and 1/2, and my stomach went crazy I was thinking it will be ok keep running as I soon found out it wasn't as I was 5 miles out; I was having MAJOR issues blood and mucus (yep, I know too much information) so it was a baby jog walk home.

 I called the doctor right away and long story short I'm going in on Thursday. It's just so hard when you love to do something and just like that it could be taken away just like that. Shower and off to work like nothing happened. However, my tummy was on fire. 

 

Happy MoNdAy!

Time to Shine !
Believe that things can suddenly and miraculously change in your favor. Let’s G!

Never miss a Monday~ after Yesterday's disaster run, I'm going to run again today! I just don't understand why I have G.I issues?? I've changed up my nutrition but still I had to run into the woods 6x and walk most of my run to get my tummy to settle down. I couldn't even finish my run last night because I still felt a little yucky from my morning run.  

I was talking to one of the doctors in the area she suggested I try whole30 for 30 days and then add foods back in to see how you do. However, I had lots of athletes who have done that challenge and they couldn't keep up with the workouts. I don't know I do know I hate it! 

Let's see what today brings! 

 

Happy Runday Sunday!

Hello Sunshine!

“Ask for what you want in life, take risks, don’t be afraid of failure, you will never get what you want if you never try, so just do it."

Sunday is my loooooooong RUN! I hate that it stays so dark so much later in the am. Living out in nowhere land you don't know what's out there...

“Dirty Chia Run!” the sun was HOT, HOT!!

I could only get in 8 miles my stomach was not liking me, I ended up in the woods more then I was running. UGH! I hate GI issues. My running goal for the week was 40 I ended up with 38.45. 

However, it's a new week tomorrow let's see what it brings.
