Dear Spring, Where Are You?

Morning everyone!  How’s everyone’s Saturday going so far?  I’ve been so happy to be able to sleep in and not have an agenda, other than getting my hair done!

Last night I did Level 1 and Level 3 of the 30-Day Shred, which left me super sweaty and feeling AWESOME.  I’m so glad that I worked out!  I felt strong and lean and just so much happier when I was done…thank you endorphins!  While I finished up my workout, Nate made dinner for us.  He made a couple of slices of baguette (so it was small) with roasted garlic and cheese:

I had 3 of them, and they were sooooooooo good!  Then he got a plain cheese pizza and we did our own toppings!  Mine was broccoli and cauliflower leftover from Thursday night, and it was amazing.  Perfectly filling and I didn’t feel bad eating it!  The shot’s not super clear, but Nate took it while I was talking on the phone and he had his plate in the other hand:

I had 1/4 cup of vanilla bean ice cream and strawberry jam for dessert:

And proceeded to watch the Olympics with my sweet husband for the rest of the night.  I know I said this before, but I am so glad that I worked out…it really made me feel a lot better about myself and allowed me to enjoy eating and spending time with my husband.  That’s enough reason for me to do it again right there!

This morning I made blueberry waffles based on this recipe.  I pureed a cup of fresh blueberries to add, used plain yogurt instead of butter and I just whisked the eggs in whole.  This made 8 large waffles, and we each had 2 with a little Earth Balance and a drizzle of maple syrup!

It was a great way to start a Saturday 🙂  Now Nate is off skiing for a few hours while I clean (don’t worry, I wanted it that way!) and get ready to go get my hair done!  I think I’ll be working out this afternoon or evening, maybe doing 30-Day Shred Levels 1 & 2.  I feel like doing them back to back is a great way to get a better workout if I’m not doing cardio.  Plus, I am strong enough at this point to do it, so why not?

In other news, it is cold and snowy yet again in Colorado.  Yes, I knew that when we moved here, but I gotta say:  I LOVE Colorado’s Spring/Summer/Fall sooo much more than winter.  There’s just so much to do and so many cool places to go during the other times of year!  I wish that it felt spring-y here as much as it sounds like in the other parts of the country!  I guess it’s good for a couple of things though:  cleaning the house thoroughly (I mean, what else are ya gonna do?) and brewing beer at home like we’ll be doing later this afternoon!

What are your favorite things to do when it’s snowy/rainy?  I used to love going to the mall and just getting OUT, but now I’ve turned into a lame old lady (all 26 years of me) and I like to stay at home and clean and watch movies 🙂

    I like going shopping, too but staying at home can be good as long as it isn’t for days on end.

    So glad the workouts felt good! I like being quiet and cozy at home. I think being an old married couple adds to that. (it also saves a ton of money)

    I love staying indoors and watching movies when it’s raining or snowing outside. It’s perfect. 🙂

    Great job on the 30 Day Shred workouts!

    I’m so proud of you!!! It hit home when you said, “working out allowed me to enjoy eating and spending time with my husband”
    When I put off working out or am feeling like shit about myself I am such a miserable person and it really limits quality time with people I care about.
    Well said.

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 ❤️

Affirmations for YOU today. Even when you don’t Affirmations for YOU today. Even when you don’t feel it, these are truths that I’m holding for you. ❤️
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?
HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog 😂 Who else feels me here? 🙋🏼‍♀️ #dogdays #2020mood
