Month: April 2017

(This is not a sponsored post.) Well, I did it. I bought a Fitbit. I have gone back and forth on whether I wanted a fitness tracker ever since fitness trackers were introduced. Honestly, I didn’t want something telling me when I wasn’t being active, so I had decided that it wasn’t for me. It took me a long time to get to a place where I didn’t feel guilty about so many things that were related to my diet and exercise. I didn’t want to deal with a fitness tracker telling me that I needed to move if I hadn’t done so in the time that it thought that I should. Make sense? I love to walk and I love my yoga classes (although it seems like forever since I made it to Yoga!), but I’ve now become increasingly curious about how active I really am on those days that I […]

Working I had the opportunity to sub as a Leader for my mentor/trainer over the last few days and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY MEETING! I am a receptionist for her on Thursday mornings at an At Work meeting and last Thursday, I led the meeting. I was nervous because although I have worked this particular meeting as a receptionist and I know these members fairly well, I had some pretty big shoes to fill, so I was a tad nervous. One of the members lightened my nerves and started the meeting by sharing a dream that she had about the meeting. She told everyone that she had a dream that I was funny. That was it. That was the dream. I’m such a weirdo because it made me happy that she had a dream about me leading the meeting. I’m very easily entertained at times. The meeting went […]

Before I blog about anything else, you have to know that I saw this on Instagram yesterday, and I want it badly!! I thought about it all night long. Is she adorable?? I would imagine only happy things happen when she is around. Ahhhhhh……… I wanted fish and potatoes for dinner. I don’t know why. I just did. I’d like to start eating more fish and seafood at home, but for some reason I have always been hesitant to learn how to cook it? I made scallops one time not too long ago. We both loved them and it was an easy recipe. I prefer shrimp fajita’s over steak or chicken, but I have only cooked shrimp a handful of times at home.  Salmon is my all time favorite, and I have finally mastered it in the skillet. I wanted fish last night. Mike is not a fan of salmon, […]

Monday I hopped on the treadmill (not due to bad weather, but due to some dumb show I can’t get away from on Netflix) and walked a slow 4 miles. When I got off, I called the doctor and made an appointment. It seemed like time to figure out what I need to do other than what I am already doing for my foot. On Tuesday, I decided new shoes might help. I’m not really over due, but it is time for a new pair. I bought two new pair yesterday and after walking in one of the new pairs from 2:00 pm until about 9:00 pm, my foot feels so much better. I do love my shoe store. I’ve bought my last 12 pair of walking shoes there. The 10th pair was $100 off! Elite Feet is family owned and the last two times that I have been in there, Leslie […]

March 41st is when I plan to finish my 100 Miles in March. Work with me here, okay? My last post was on a Friday, (over a week ago!!) and I had walked ZERO miles that day. Below are the three days that followed that ZERO day. Saturday – 5 miles Sunday – 3 miles Monday – 6 miles Monday evening… Tuesday After working on Tuesday, I picked up my mom and we went to visit my cousin in the nursing home. I came home, cooked dinner, ate, then hopped on the treadmill. I walked 1/4 of a mile and felt like there was a knife in my heel, so I stepped off. I’ve talked just briefly about thinking I have Plantar Fasciitis. I haven’t been to the doctor, but after talking to several friends and looking up my symptoms online, I am self diagnosing and I think it’s Plantar Fasciitis.  […]
