Lifting and running are happening here. All the sweat…even the always lovely back sweat!😝 The scale is beginning to move in the right direction, so that’s awesome!! Things are going well in my life, not much new to report!!

I feel like I’m pretty boring lately, but sometimes that is nice too!

Have a great week friends!!

My day in photos.

This dress. I love it. But I hate how it shows that I’ve gained weight. Le sigh. Look at that booty!!! Where did that come from?? 😨😬 I have 20 pounds to lose and I’m going to do it. I promise.

So today I went to the gym and met with the trainer. He showed me what weights I need to do and gave me a good plan. I know what I need to do. So here goes nothing! That photo is after my 3 mile interval run. ALL THE SWEAT. So gross.

Have a good hump day friends!

4 miles despite a long, irritating, and very trying day. I decided I might as well do another mile when I hit 3. I wasn’t quite done unspooling my thoughts yet.

I had one of those days where I had a lot to do and going on, but all I could think was, “if I could just go for a run, I’d be able to clear my head and actually get this work done.” Sadly, no one thought I should do that! But now my head is clear and I have better ideas on how to fix a couple of articles I’m writing. You know I’m not going to worry about them tonight though!!

4 slow miles, but I’m doing this thing again. Slow and steady. Feels good.

Pizza day at the gym. (Why is this a thing?)

Mile walk to the gym in sunny, 90º weather. 3 mile run on the treadmill, then I lifted arms and back. Then I ignored the pizza, thankyouverymuch, and walked the mile home.

I’m hot and sweaty and tired. We walked 5 miles at the zoo yesterday and rode our bikes 30 miles on Friday. Am in back in shape yet????😂😂

This is why I can’t gym selfie.

Sigh. I don’t think she saw me, and honestly I don’t really care if she did. But the fact is, I went to the gym after work, I ran 3 miles on the treadmill then I did arms. This was deserving of a selfie.

The struggle has been very real in terms of me having any motivation to work out so this deserves a post I think.

I have a longer post that I’ve been mulling over but that’s for another day.

Have a good one friends!

I got a little heat exhaustion on this run…I had goosebumps for a lot of it. We’re in a heat advisory until tonight. So that’s fun.

I had a hard time today. The humidity is really hard on my heart issue (bicuspid aortic valve) so it can make it very tough to run in the summer. I’m not going to beat myself up. I’m just going to keep moving forward.

Have a great Saturday friends!

Today on snapchat.

It’s crazy freaking hot here. Feels like 112º so I wore a strapless dress to work (with a sweater over it at work!) But I took it off when we walked to lunch.

There’s a street in my neighborhood that lines their yards with American flags from Flag day until Independence Day. I love it! So patriotic! So I snapped that pic on my run this morning while wearing that ultra patriotic shirt! It was 80º at 545am so that’s fun.

I got off work early and got a slushie and came home to my parent’s house for the weekend.

Hope you have a great weekend friends!!

Who am I?

I went for a short run before work this morning, then I showered and packed my things and RODE MY BIKE TO WORK.

Yep. That happened. I bought a new one this weekend and knew that it would be easier than trying to ride my old one (from when I was 15!). It’s 3.85 miles from my house to work and I did the ride in 25 minutes, while waiting for several lights to change on the way.

I’m so proud of myself!!!😊😎😃
