Pinteresting: Work it out

I have been on a severe health kick lately. For the past week I have been really concious about what I am eating and how I am expelling my energy. I am not sure what has caused the sudden urge, perhaps it was a certain health scare that got me thinking about what changes I can make daily to ensure a healthier future. Along with eating organic whole foods, I have also been sweatin it out pretty hard. I am finally cleared by the doctor to get back in the gym and couldn't be more excited! It has been 2 months since I have lifted a weight or clocked in my average 5 mile runs so I am a little nervous about getting back into it. Luckily, I have my dear friend Pinterest to boost my confidence...












 
 
Do you have any tips or tricks to getting back into the workout groove?

Thursday Thoughts

"To laugh often and love much;
 
to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;
 
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
 
to appreciate beauty;
 
to find the best in others;
 
 to give of one’s self;
 
to leave the world a bit better,
 
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
 
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;
 
             to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived
 
—this is to have succeeded"
 
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

My life as of late...

Hello Lovelies and Happy Monday!

My apologies for the absurd amount of absences, my life has been a whirlwind of work, school, and attempting to balance friends and family. However, enough excuses...I am back!

Here is my life (in a nutshell) according to Instragram...

USA Gymnast for Halloween. Tapped in to my inner 9 year old via 1996

Beaux has grown exponentially. I miss my little ball of fluff, but hes such
a fun, sweet pup!

A series of 45-50 + work weeks

Annapolis flooded during Superstorm Sandy. I suffered no damages but am
keeping all those who did in my thoughts and prayers.

Friday nights spent on my Grad school survey project, thesis and finals...
note the MUCH needed Diet Coke

A bought of the flu thanks to the lovely kiddos I work with


Frazzled, unimpressed and tired...
