So it's been a minute. Been a little busy moving across the country, state lines, and then across the county. Lots going on since the last time I was on here. I am not going to go over all of the details - just some recent info that might interest you.
I am sure as hell NOT going to talk about the Pandemic that is happening in our world. It's already everywhere so I am SURE that you don't want to read about it AGAIN.....so moving forward and upward.
I decided a few months ago that I am DONE with TV and anything else streaming (for the most part - there are some new things coming out that I do want to see, but that is besides the point). The point is, I missed reading. It's so calming and relaxing. I am a super slow reader - are you the same? I fall asleep. It's like my eyes just get so heavy - like 10 pound dumbbells or something - and I can't keep them open. It doesn't matter how good the book is either. I just can't. I want to but I just can't.
I would love to hear what you are reading. Comment below so I can find a new book. I am always looking!
I clearly don't have enough books (insert my sarcasmic eye roll), even though my B&N credit card is completely maxed out. BUT, did you know that they will send you $25 gift cards! But, honestly, have you EVER, ever in your life, kept it under the gift card amount? I think I did ONCE! Actually I know that I did it once. It was a new book, just released and one of my very good friends had sent me the title and told me how good it was. FYI, it was AHHHHMAZING! And I couldn't sleep at night for like a week because it was THAT GOOD! It was SUPER Skkkkkkerrrrry! But soooo good!
Because of that, I have a new favorite author!
By the way, my ADD just kicked in - Have you heard about this? Drunken elephants
I am pretty sure this is my favorite story EVAH!
My last words of advise for the day:
Be An Elephant!
💜
Have a fantabulous day!

This meal was probably the easiest.
Side salad with feta and tomato. Topped with balsamic, of course.
The veggie burger is organic and was premade - but organic! :)
Fresh veggies sautéed right along with this. Super easy!
Only about 175 kcals for this meal.
Carbs? What carbs!
I have to tell this story.
I came into work yesterday. My late day but was in early for multiple reasons. Well, come to find out, it was for one major reason. An old client of mine is back....but back on her own. Which is good! I am proud of her doing this alone. She has the drive to do it and she is doing it! Anyhow, I come in and she stops me. She wants some help with a cardio program and asks me if I can help her. OF COURSE I CAN!
Instead of writing her one, which I typically would do, we talked about it. I told her the difference of intervals to endurance and adding lean body mass workouts in between to help along the way. Things that she learned with me during training last year. After about 30 minutes of discussion, she has it down. She is going to do 2-3 days a week of interval training. Starting out with 30 seconds of sprinting - at a comfortable sprint pace for her - and then 1 minute of walking or slow jogging. Whatever she is comfortable with and will grow from there.
She tells me that she is all about music. It drives her! (I can totally relate because I am completely the same way. Music is part of my being so I get how it can energize her while on the treadmill) She loves the song Roar by Katy Perry. Such a great song!
Today, she comes into the gym. Gets on the treadmill. I ask her if she wants me to hook up her music to the speakers. She is good with that :)
Now, I have video surveillance in my office so I can see everything that is going on while I am at my desk.
The music is blaring - love it - and I look at the camera, she is sprinting! She is pushing herself! And she is successful! It honestly brought tears to my eyes to see this - to be able to experience this. To watch her go past what she probably thought was her limit.
Thank you for being you and for being such an inspiration to so many of us!
