Updates, flashbacks and birthdays

Well, between being sick for weeks, and now migraine and allergies kicking my butt, I succumbed to going to Urgent care today. Three shots, two in places I care not to discuss, and am awaiting meds from the pharmacy tomorrow. Let’s pray this is it for this girl! Thanks for all the good vibes and prayers.

8 years ago today I earned my marathon PR. I don’t see another full in my future, so I love to celebrate this memory.

Also-last but not least, it’s my 22 year old daughter’s birthday today. Cheers to her, the very first true love of my life.

How’s your week going?

Cheers,

Michelle

Migraine Monday

Had today planned off to spend with the hubby. Spent it trying to battle a migraine. Eyes are swollen so took tomorrow off. The old me wouldn’t do that, but now that I’m getting older I’ve realized I need to take time for my health.

Hope you all had a great day!

Throwback Thursday

Today’s post is my throwback Thursday. 9 years ago today I ran a 20 mile race with my sister in 3 hours and 39 minutes. in preparation for my first full marathon. Sadly that marathon didn’t go so well but I I did finish strong.
Posting this to remind myself that I once did some pretty amazing things, and even if I still can’t do the same things as I once could, that I’m doing my best.

Remind yourself that no matter what, you’re doing the best you can in life! 🥰

My sister and I, at the Fox Valley 20 miler.

Cheers,

Michelle

Sunday soup

Creamy asparagus and potato soup with bacon, chives and parsley/garlic/lime olive oil.
I’d share the recipe but it’s in my head lol. Made this one up from scratch.

Basic ingredients are cooked potatoes, asparagus, shallots, garlic, red pepper flakes, parsley, basil and oregano with some half and half, bone broth and salt and pepper to taste.

What’s your favorite soup?

Chicken soup

Happy Monday, everyone! Sadly our fevers resurfaced so we had yet another day of rest and trying to recover. I’ve slept more in the last six days than I’ve slept in a year, at least it feels that way. With the help of my daughter I made my chicken soup in hopes that it makes us feel better. Recipe is in the recipe tab of my blog. I also managed a mini plank to keep my almost 2 year streak alive. Back on my recliner for more rest now. 🙏🏻

Hope y’all had a better holiday weekend than we did! Lol!

Cheers,

Michelle
