Someone recently asked me about my running and how I currently feel about it. True, I'm not running 5 days per week as I have in the past. I'm not even running my usual 3. I think my new norm for awhile (maybe forever) might be 2 days a week.
How do I feel about it? I feel liberated. I feel like stepping outside of the model of runner to something bigger. Because I've said it before, and I will say it again, I am more than just a runner. As I grow older with my family, I realize that life is constantly changing. I am constantly changing. And learning to embrace the change definitely makes for an easier transition. For probably the first time in my life, I am

Do you have goals? Have you ever wanted to try something, but you weren't sure how to start? Do you need help making sure that your form is correct? Do you need the accountability to stick with a program? Would you like having access to someone who can answer your questions concerning your workout routine and exercises?

I have answered yes to several of these questions, and that is why I have worked with a personal trainer in the past. For me, it had a lot to do with form - especially concerning strength training. I didn't want to injury myself, but I also wanted to make sure that I didn't pick up bad habits when it came to lifting. Honestly, I could probably use a refresher course! But working with a personal trainer has been one of the best things that I could have done for myself. Because of personal training, I felt more confident in my routines. When I was pregnant with Lil Man, I had to stop exercising during pregnancy due to complications, and I was on bedrest after he was born. So I just needed something to help me get into working out again. I didn't know where to begin. I knew that I was starting over, and I didn't want to get injured by trying to do too much too fast. I'm so glad that I got a trainer. I do believe that personal training can help you reach your goals faster. I also feel that personal trainers can pinpoint weak spots that maybe you aren't aware of. For me, this helped with injury prevention.

And although I haven't personally worked with Find Your Trainer, I do like their philosophy. Check out this short video.
You can workout at home, the park or the gym. There are a lot of possibilities. They recommend trainers that fit you best according to your goals and your schedule. "Train the way you want. When you want. Where you want. And with whoever you want." I really like that concept!
So, what are you waiting for? If you've ever considered personal training, now is the time to check out Find Your Trainer. If you do sign up, please check back with me and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear your opinion.

My family is definitely on the go. In the summer, it's amusement parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, hiking and playing outdoors. The winter usually brings snow (and lots of fun), along with school and sports activities, hiking and whatever else we can find to do during the cold months.
And although I do enjoy the occasional evening out, it's our movie nights (or even days) at home that makes my heart swell with memories. To me, there is just something about gathering together to enjoy time with each other which usually includes yummy food and a movie or two. It's the simple things in life.
With the help of Tyson® foods and Redbox®, life just got easier. From 2/6/17 to 4/15/17, if you purchase any two eligible Jimmy Dean®, State Fair®, or Tyson products in a single transaction at a Walmart Supercenter or Walmart Neighborhood Market, and visit www.TysonFreeMovieNight.com to upload …
Yeah... so last week I said that If I Need To Google It, I'm Not Eating It and that lasted about..... a day... yep... I'd say about 24 hours. Because the reality is, in my life is not all or nothing. Sure, I suppose I could pack us healthier snacks (and that's an area I'm trying to be more consistent with), but my reality is sometimes McDonald's happens. Hey just keeping it real. And sometimes so does a sub from a local convenience store or a slice of pizza. And then once I messed up, the all or nothing attitude reared its ugly head! And wow hello to disordered eating. I found myself just eating junk because I felt that I had already blown it for the day.
Well, I'm having some medical issues. I'm waiting to find out about the nodule on my thyroid, but I'm experiencing a lot of joint pain and swelling. And I mean a lot. Some of the knuckles on my fingers have been 5 times the normal size. They are hot to touch, and I'm unable to bend them.
I don't know what's going on with me, but I suspect it has a lot to do with what I'm putting in my body. I decided that's probably where I should really start anyway.
Yep, I've added the sugar back, and I've noticed the joint pain is worse after I eat sugar. It's also worse after I eat processed food (which still could be sugar or a combo of several things). That being said, I've never truly cut out all processed foods (or food where I can't pronounce the words). Basically if I have to google it, I'm not eating it for the next two weeks.
Honestly, I'm still pretty unsure about this decision as I type this. I've never done this before. I&…
