Movin' it with Michelle

This was my first Christmas in 22 years that I had to spend without my daughter. I’ll admit I was struggling with the thought of being away from her, so I got up bright and early to embrace the day.

We had a lovely day filled with laughter, love, presents and of course delicious food. Here’s some highlights.

We finished the day with a call to my parents and my daughter which ended the day perfectly, despite being apart.

Happy holidays!!!!

Beautiful day in St Pete. Struggling this season between family health issues and Jordyn not being able to visit for Christmas this year, so a day of fun was in order.

Happy Wednesday!! We went for a nice 5k run today as a family. So proud of my youngest for running with us. How was your day?! I’d love to hear about it.

Happy Monday, my friends!!! It’s a rare day here in Florida, with cloudy skies and temps in the mid 60’s! I definitely couldn’t let this weather go to waste, so took it outside for some miles. The first mile was a struggle and I’m still working on regulating my heart rate, but this run felt pretty good. Finished the day with my daily plank. How was your day?! #mondaymotivation

Today we spent the day running errands. We went to a local meat market to get special steaks for Christmas dinner, stocked up on proteins and a few other things from Costco, and went to Aldi for produce. Friday I came down with a migraine that seemed to linger all weekend so we rested most of the rest of today to prepare for work tomorrow.

I did make a yummy pork roast for dinner, with Indian spiced lentils that we got from Costco (pre made pouches you easily heat in the microwave) and air frier cauliflower.

How was your Sunday? Happy holidays to you all!

It’s been a rough couple of weeks of worrying and praying for my Mother in law who’s health has deteriorated quickly, along with my dad who’s discovered some heart/lung issues. Time just goes too quickly, and we’re geographically so far apart. 🥲

I spent a lot of time praying today, this is my kind of church.

Thanks for everyone’s prayers, thoughts and juju. I truly appreciate it.
