Water Lovin'

OH.MY.GOODNESS. Today has been the most gorgeous day!  It’s funny though, at work our power went out for about an hour and we all just sat inside.  I so wish we’d all gone to the park and played frisbee instead 🙂

Lunch was the exact same thing as yesterday:

Leftover pasta from Sunday night and half of a turkey-pepperjack-bbq sandwich.  YUM!

I don’t really have a lot to say today…guess that’s a good thing sometimes though, right?  I will say though that my walk was amazing! The sun was shining, there was a light breeze, warm but not too hot, and the creek was roaring in the background.  Such a beautiful day!


Random question of the evening (much more laid-back than yesterday evening’s!):  Ocean,

River,

Lake…

…which one’s your favorite and why? I love ’em all, but I have to go with ocean for me.  I am not necessarily a water sports kind of gal, but there’s just something about the ocean and it’s mystery that gets me every time!  I dream of one day living by the beach, smelling the salt air, and hearing the waves crash while I just take it all in 🙂

    1) Ocean 2) Lake 3) River

    Honestly, rivers scare me a little bit. I was raised on the coast and will always be an ocean girl at heart!

    I grew up going to the Red Sea and the Nile River every summer (I’m originally from Egypt), so I have to say I love the sea. The ocean is a close second. 🙂 And now, I live in Chicago by Lake Michigan, so I’m starting to appreciate the lake – probably only because it’s so vast and looks more like an ocean/sea.. haha. 🙂

    LAKE! Definitely! Because with lakes usually comes the mountains, hiking, water sports, etc.

    I just discovered your blog and love it!

    What gorgeous pictures! I have to say ocean too. I’m such a beach girl. I would love to get married on a beach, and live by the ocean some day too. I love everything about it. The smell, the freshness, and the beauty.

    I just love water period, I’ve always been such a water baby. If I had to pick probably rivers, I was/am a competitive rower until I moved to Colorado. I love a quiet stretch of river first thing in the morning, flat water with maybe a barge or two going through. It’s one of my favorite places to be in the world

    All of them are beautiful, but I would have to say the ocean because it is what I have lived closets to my whole life. But in respect to all of of them, it is amazing to know that my God created all of those beautiful things that people can’t get enough of, yet he also created me and you as well. 🙂

    Wow- great pics!

    I love the ocean, but there is something about a red rocks sunset that is just so beautiful. It makes me think of the area history and all those rocks have seen.

    Oh great question!

    Can I answer with a qualifier? I like ocean if it’s a WARM ocean. Because who doesn’t want to live on a warm beach, right?!

    If it’s not warm all year than I’d choose lake. I think you can do more stuff in a lake than in a river regardless of the season.

    I’m a total amoeba-phobe when it comes to lakes and rivers. and a creature-phobe when it comes to sea water. I love looking at them all though

    I love all three but I think the desert is the one that calls to me the most. It reminds me of childhood vacations where I’d explore the desert for hours. It’s peaceful and spiritual for me.

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?
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
