I’m a little disappointed with myself.

 

I did something I really shouldn’t have done that has now made me wish fall was HERE and NOW. I knew what I was doing when I did it…and I did it anyway.

 

You guys?

 

I watched You’ve Got Mail. And now all I want is freshly sharpened pencils and cappuccinos and twinkle lights.

I always marvel at my desire for a change in season before that change really comes. In a few short months I’ll be pining for Christmas, and then shortly after that I’ll be wishing Spring into our lives. It’s hard at the end of a season to be content with the normality that has emerged from the excitement of the beginning. I never thought of myself as one who really enjoys change, but the older I get the more I look forward to the big changes and milestones to come. I get excited, but always with a little fear of how normal will soon change.

If you guys have been reading for a while you know that I have a continuous love-hate relationship with oatmeal. Typically I love it for about one month and then don’t eat it again for the next 8. Right about now I’m thinking it’s pretty nice, but I’m trying not to let it wear out its welcome – so I’m only allowing myself to eat it for breakfast once or twice a week.

 

Because unlike my overzealous You’ve Got Mail-watching, oatmeal is something I want to reserve for crisp fall mornings with a steaming cuppa coffee and sleepy snuggles with my boys!

    I too have a love/hate relationship with oatmeal, but I do believe this cherry pistachio pairing could get me back on the love side of things quickly!

    Definitely a great flavor combo for oatmeal. I am inspired to make a granola with these now too. Been a very long time since I’ve made granola.

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
