Long Week... already


This is a journey I am taking with all of you and now I need some crowd participation. I am sorta stuck on the food prep thing just because I hate to cook. I just keep making the same things and I have deflated my desire to eat the same stuff. I am looking for something easy and new (something to excite my tastebuds!) 


Ab work was tiring today but on the plus side I did run almost a whole mile without stopping today. I did a little bit of an ab circuit and it didn't really do anything for me so I decided that I would make my own. Let me tell you, lower abs are killer to do. I really hate leg lifts but I did them. I am grateful that I can push myself. 

I am working on getting a lower time for my mile because I eventually want to do a 5k. My sister's boyfriend is always doing 5k's and I know there are some pretty fun ones around. 
Some 5k's I would like to do include:

Race to Wrigley: May 6, 2018
Paws Chicago: June 3, 2018
Color Run Chicago: Sometime in June
Glo Run Chicago: July 21, 2018 (Below is a video)
The Great Pumpkin Run: Sometime in September
Pumpkin Spice 5k: Sometime October

I am looking into a race that supports Mothers who have had stillbirths and if you know any of them please let me know!!!! 

I got one of my best friends in the whole world to join a gym with me. She is now a member of planet fitness and I am so proud of her. (shout out to you!) She has dialysis and needs to get into shape. Her story is very crazy and random because her kidney just started to fail randomly last year. We all thought she was just really sick but no. She ended up in the hospital and the situation was very serious. I love her and I want her around for a long time so I am glad we are doing this workout thing together. Below is a link to her Gofund me page and I think it's worth reading. 


I have been trying to surround myself with healthy, fun, and kind people. (So if your a person in my life those attributes apply to you) I don't have time for negativity and I don't need someone in my life that is toxic. I have been through that and I will run the other direction as soon as possible if that comes around me. 

 Totally switching gears now. The list below is of music that I'm currently listening to to make it through the day! I hope that some of these lyrics work for you as well as they do for. Each one of these songs has hit me in a positive way! I thought this was a great addition to my blog. If you have any other music you want me to listen to just comment below and I will listen. 

Music
Three Days Grace: I am an Outsider
Tyga Ft. Gucci Mane: Sip a Lil
Fall Out Boy: Mania (yes the whole cd)
Dua Lipa: IDGAF
New Politics: Lost In Translation (other great album)
Matt and Kim: Forever
Kygo: ID (Ultra Dance Festival Anthem)
Bishop Briggs: White Flag
Breath Caroline & Sunstars: Dysylm
Absofacto: Dissolve
 Krewella: Team




Below is some inspiration to get through this week and well everyday! Looking up inspiration quotes really seem to help me and I hope they do the same for you.

Lost my heart...

 It's 2024 and this year doesn't seem to have the same magic that the start of the past years have had. It could be that I am getting older and the magic in the world is evaporating or the world has gone too far. Either way I need to find that magic in my life again.  Magic isn't the word. I feel like after you have been through so many things the world closes in on you. For some reason I feel it this year. I have been sitting and contemplating all my decisions and every step in my past that has brought me to this point, wondering if I did things differently would I be someone else?  Dont get me wrong I actually like who I am as a person but I dont like some of the things that I have lived through. Its hard to think that some people will never understand some of the things I had to go through, but then again I won't be able to understand some of the things that other people went through. we are all just walking around with internal pain. The world is hard and sometimes ...

Believe

 "believe in the lord Jesus and you will be saved." that sentiment is so easy to understand. I wish that more people really just did that. Opening your heart to the possibility of God's love is something that I am so blessed to have done. I know that God is watching over all of us and guiding us through this world.  In the Bible it never says that believing in God would give you the easy road or all the worldly abundance but you are a child of the most powerful. Even when you read the Bible its not all good. His believers were handed very difficult things but still persevered. I think that is the biggest misconception of the being a believer. God is not here to make your life easier. He is here to make you a better person and to learn things when you are on this Earth. He is here to guide you to the life that he has planned for you. Everyone forgets that the other side of the coin, the devil, is also working against us.  with that being said, I know that I truly love God ...
