Running, Recipes, and Real life adventures!
Made it three miles after work. Since COVID I’ve been unable to run even a full mile without walking. My heart rate and breathing are all over the place. Today I made it two miles of running with only two brief stops, and ran/walked the last mile. I’ll take it!
Also saw a little friend on the trails.
How was your Monday?
Cheers,
Michelle
Today we started decorating for Christmas! Here’s a sneak peek!
When do you start putting up decorations?
We went to the Tampa FL Aquarium today, and I wanted to share a few of my favorite shots. In case you didn’t know, photography is a little hobby of mine. I’d love to hear what you think.
Thanks,
Michelle
Happy Wednesday, my friends! Have a bit on my mind and heart (see previous post) so needed this workout tonight. I walked the first half with my daughter, and walk/ran the second half. Wrapped up with my daily plank.
How was your Wednesday?
Cheers!

This week I heard about someone that had been talking bad about me to others. I’ll leave it at that for sake of privacy here on the blog.
It truly bothered me, and still does to a point, because I always do my best to take of my friends, family and coworkers. I’m the most genuine person you’ll meet, and have worked through many difficult years fighting negative demons.
Today, I decided to take that energy and spread kindness. I offered to help a coworker with their duties knowing how busy we both are these days. I reached out to someone I know that feels under appreciated and verbalized my true appreciation for all that they do for me. And I hugged my daughter a few extra times when she got home from school, because what is honestly better than a good hug?
Am I still thinking about that other person that hurt me? Sure. I’m human. But I find doing positive and kind things for others always helps.
How do you battle negativity? Any other good tips?
Cheers!

Happy Tuesday my friends!! It was a beautiful “fall” day here in West Central FL! The hubby and I enjoyed a lovely walk after work today. And check out that moon!! So pretty!
How was your day?
I won’t lie. I feel like I am back to square one, or even a little further back since getting sick two months ago. I don’t ever recall running a short run at a 12mm+ pace. And every time I had to walk, it set me back a little further mentally.
But I’m not getting any younger, and I’m at least out there moving. That counts for something, right?!
Happy Monday, my friends. Thanks for always motivating me to get out and move.
How was your Monday?
Happy Sunday! I spent the last couple of hours cooking and meal prepping for the week. Baked chicken, steamed veggies and brown rice will be our main menus. I did make some yummy chicken soup for dinner with diced carrots, sweet potatoes, poblano peppers, onions, garlic and chicken. I seasoned with all kinds of spices, going towards lots of warm spices like cumin, turmeric, paprika and garlic/onion powder. Finished the day off with my plank.
How was your day?
Cheers,
Michelle
