Movin' it with Michelle

We had a much needed quiet day today by the pool. This upcoming week will be filled with a lot of uncertainty, so the downtime was needed.

I managed my daily plank, and absolutely nothing else. Lol.

How was your day?!

I find great peace when I’m out in nature. Be it on the beach, trails, or wherever-I’m happiest outside. So with the recent stressors we’ve got lately, my hubby decided to plan a picnic for us since we’ve got some cooler weather. We weren’t dressed for it, but we were having so much fun that we walked/hiked 3 1/2 miles. Here’s some of my favorite pics!!

I got my hair done after work today. It’s thinned a lot over the last few years between stress and menopause so it’s nice to see it growing again. It’s the little things, right?!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!! Thanks for all the love and support regarding my post last night. I had my doc appt after work, and happy to report my vitals/bmi/etc all came back great. I voiced my concerns to the new doc, and she patiently listed and offered her advice. She suggested some OTC meds to try and get some menopause relief, so going that route first. She also ran a full panel of labs; awaiting those results.
Got in a good 5k after work as well-walking as it’s 90 degrees out lol. How about you?!

Tonight’s reminder and plank!!!
I haven’t been sleeping well (again) lately, so today I did a core workout with my plank. I’m finally getting a checkup after quite the hassle in getting a new provider after the pandemic hit. I don’t think I’ve ever been excited for a checkup, but I’m actually looking forward to getting my hormones checked so we can figure this mess out lol.
No one said mid life was easy, did they?! 🥺

I spent the day with my baby girl today. She’s 15 so not so much a baby, but I am feeling time slipping away from me so am making the most of every moment. We went to brunch at a new spot, consignment shopping and I took her for a hair trim. We took the top down on my Jeep and had the music cranked. It was a fun day.
