It's All Fun And Games Until

It's all fun and games until the stomach bug hits your house and your entire schedule gets rearranged. Yep, our first sickness of the school year. Lil Man's first day missed. Thankfully the stomach bug was very short-lived. He was actually almost back to normal in just a few short hours.


But because of germs (his and me just being paranoid of picking up other germs) we didn't make it to the gym all week. He was well enough to go, but yeah... I have an issue with germs.. so we skipped.

I was able to get in some treadmill runs, and a run here or there with Miles.



But overall my week felt really off because I didn't make it to the gym. I guess I'm just a gym rat.

However, I guess that I can't say that it wasn't an active week, because as I type this I'm at 91,560 steps for the week. And technically the day isn't over yet.



And after finally getting to the gym yesterday, then outside for a short bike ride, my legs were feeling it. So I was happy to recover in my Zensah recovery tights. I wore them all afternoon and my legs were much happier by the end of the day. It was warm enough to sit out on the deck and enjoy some quiet time.



I did however get my fastest treadmill mile this week.



That I was super happy about it. Now, I just need to work on stretching that mile into 2 and so on. We shall see.

I just planned out my week with family time / workouts / blogging  and so forth. Here's to hoping everyone stays well!

Pinrose Petal Pack Review and Giveaway - 10 Winners!

Bear with me, I know this blog is mainly about fitness, nutrition, and occasionally about being a stay-at-home mom, but I got the chance to review what I think is a pretty cool product and I wanted to share it with you. I'm not one to usually wear perfume. I have allergies, and I'm super sensitive to smells. So usually I just bypass perfume. But when I heard about Pinrose , I was intrigued. Being someone who is constantly in motion, and I know that many of you are the same way, I found this product to be very useful.  I'm talking about Pinrose, and their fragrances are in petal packs. They are perfect on-the-go packs. And on their website they have a  synesthesia   test where you basically look at a series of images and they conclude from that test what they think would be your best fragrances. I found the test very interesting. However, you were supposed to go with your gut and not think too long. On one of the images I actually changed my mind and changed...

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Jogging Strollers Freedom And Fresh Air

Full Disclosure: I have partnered with Thule to #giveaway a Thule jogging stroller, but I have not been compensated in any form.  I remember when Lil Man was a baby. My only time to get in a workout was before Hubby went to work. Which meant I had to run at 5am or 6am after being up most of the night with Lil Man. You guessed it, those early morning runs just didn't happen most days. I tried. I really did, but I was exhausted. Yes, I have a treadmill which helped. But it didn't give me the freedom ( or the fresh air ) that my jogging stroller did. Pushing the stroller was hard. It became a challenge that I looked forward to overcoming. And on those days that running just wasn't going to happen, walking could. So I did. I could take Lil Man out at any time and get some exercise and fresh air. Sometimes it was all we needed to change both of our moods.
