Just When I Get Things Figured Out...

...life throws a curve ball! Two weeks ago (or was it three?), I posted about finding a new groove & shaking up my fitness schedule. That schedule has been totally blown out of the water. June has been an incredibly busy month, with extended family visits, swim lessons, extra church work, etc.

I have not been able to keep up with my original fitness plan, but I have still been able to get my sweat on most of the time. Mostly running and yoga, a few bikes rides, a family walk, a pool workout, and lots and lots of functional fitness. Carrying coolers, walking stairs, chasing the 5 year old, on my feet A LOT. 

Nutrition hasn't been what I wanted either, but I am still having at least one green smoothie most days, so that is helping me get my fruits and veggies in. I've done a lot of baking, thankfully, giving most of it away. And I just can't get enough of the fresh produce from our farmer's market! This week's haul included peaches, zucchini, blueberries, corn, and green tomatoes. Yes, I treated us to fried green tomatoes this weekend, and they were delicious!

I haven't had as much online time due to our busy family schedule. Thank you to those of you who have checked in on me. I'm here. Just making family a top priority this summer before Ladybug starts Kindergarten in less than TWO MONTHS. (I will not freak out, I will not freak out....) Needless to say, taking care of my mental health is also a priority right now too. :-)

Have a healthy week!

  4. I hate that your schedule/plan has been thrown off, but I must admit it makes me feel a little better. I always am envious at how "together" you always are! hahaha

    you are always the most consistent disciplined person!

    Summer has been busy for us here too! And don't freak about kindergarten. I survived it last year without crying (too much). i will however admit to bawling like a baby at graduation!

    Have a great week and enjoy your summer!!!

  5. I have GOT to figure out this green smoothie thing. I have heard so much about it, but I haven't tried them yet. :) Summer being busy is a good thing. You'll get a routine going, sure enough.
