Monday motivation

Movin' it with Michelle

Normally I’d rest the day following a run, especially since I’m just getting back into the swing of things. But today my mental health needed to get outside after work,

and so I did. I normally would have just closed my eyes and taken a nap to try and sleep away a bad day. But not today. Today I did a 3.1 mile run/walk after work, light weights, and my daily plank.

I always feel better after a workout, how about you!?

Sundays and change

Movin' it with Michelle

Part of this is a repeat from Twitter, so sorry if you’re reading part of this twice lol.

Happy Sunday! I keep seeing a quote that really has been resonating with me lately. You’ll never change your life unless you change at least one thing you do daily. I really have been feeling a little stagnant lately, so decided to skip my normal lazy Sunday and get outside for a run. I ran the first two miles, and ran walked the second two for a total of four miles. That’s the longest I’ve ran in quite some time.
How was your Sunday? Do anything new or different?

Back at Magic Kingdom

Movin' it with Michelle

Our family has lots of wonderful memories at Disney. It was the first time I remember flying as a kid when my parents took us there for our first big trip!! We had so much fun!! As an adult, I went to Disneyland back in 2004 when my husband returned from his first deployment and the memories will last a life time. We went to Disney World in 2012 as one of our first “real” family vacations, and again made countless memories. But I think the trip in 2017 is what sealed the deal that Disney would always be a happy place of ours. We went after my husband returned from his second deployment, and it helped heal a lot of wounds that had been festering for the previous 2 years prior.

Long story short, one of the many reasons we decided to move to Florida was to be closer to Disney. It’s not just for kids, I tell you! The parks have things for all ages, and the festivals at Epcot are something we truly enjoy.

We had annual passes for the first two years we lived here and frequented the parks quite often. Then COVID hit and we decided to let our passes go. Sooooo, last month we finally renewed them and today was our first visit back.

Here’s some pics from our day.

Have you ever been to Disney?

Happy Monday, everyone!!! I’ll admit, I was dragging a little for this run. Too much food/fun/drinks over the long weekend made for some very heavy legs. But I thought about our friend Jeff who ran his first full marathon, just yesterday. He tripped in the first quarter of the race which mentally and physically set him back. But he didn’t quit, and finished strong despite some struggles. I took the advice I gave him, and to you all every day-and I kept movin’ forward. I did have to stop for a few quick pauses to control my heart rate, but over all it was a success!
How was your day?!
