“Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional, and mental states.” - Carol Welch
.
.
.
I am not good at being sedentary. I love to move. This injury to my foot continues to heal, but I need to change up how I get my movement while it does. It’s time to change my focus for a bit. Back to one of my favorite things, focused practicing on poses after yoga class. Poses I want to master or simply want to work on that day. .
.
My new goal for 2020 is to take the time out of my day, one day a week to do that after a yoga class. My body is stretched and warmed up, so it’s perfect. Last week I practiced headstands. This week it was side planks. Who knows what it will be next week. It’s all up to me. .
.
And it feels amazing Peeps!

💕Happy Sunday!💕MEAL PREP IDEAS FOR YOU TODAY

💕Happy Sunday!💕MEAL PREP IDEAS FOR YOU TODAY!! .
.
How cute are these little jars I found at Target? Right there in the dollar section! They inspired me to do some meal prep and that means overnight oats for me and the hubs. Breakfast is the hardest meal for me. I often grab a cup of coffee and go. I find that prepping these little bits of yumminess makes it easier to start my day right. Packed with all the essentials like protein (milk, yogurt and collagen), fiber from the oats and a little sweetness from the fresh fruit. Needing a mid-day snack? How about the cute little jars, fight the munchies the right way! 💕
💕
I told you I love #allthingsvalentines cutting my strawberries into hearts to top them off and sprinkled with some espresso granola and I’m ready! .
.
💕Make them today peeps💕 Here’s how! .
.
1/3 cup milk, almond, cashew or coconut milk
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats or rolled overnight oats by @quaker
1/3 cup yogurt
1/2 scoop collagen powder
1 teaspoon chia seeds

1/3 cup fresh fruit, chopped

Blend together first five ingredients. In container with lids/covers placed chopped fruit in equal amounts, spoon over with your mixture. Leave about 1/4” space at the top. Cover and Refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours. I usually double or triple my batch.

Uncover, warm in the microwave for 30 seconds or serve cold. Top with additional fruit, nuts, nut butter, seeds or granola as desired. Enjoy!! ❤️

OMGosh! Valentine’s Day is just three weeks away

OMGosh! Valentine’s Day is just three weeks away 😱😱😱 I’ve been busy working on working and then getting #allthingsvalentines ready on the blog and then, 💥 POW 💥 , I remembered that I had this cute jumpsuit photo I hadn’t shared back during the holidays ❤️ Am I too young to use “senior moment”?!!

"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, alwa

"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine." - Anthony J. D'Angelo
☀️
☀️
I can’t help being an optimistic person, most of the time, it’s just a part of me. But I’m here to tell you that even the most optimistic person can feel down sometimes. It’s the season of rain here in Seattle where most of the days are gray. I’m hoping today’s visit to the doctor will give me good news for my foot because being kept from my active life hasn’t helped my mood at all! So today I’m sharing what I do when I’m feeling blue and I’m hoping it helps some of you 😊
.
Start by calling your peeps...
• and meet for coffee (duh, right?)
• go for a mini-glam sesh (check out my stories on Friday when I go do this!)
• go to the art museum • try a new restaurant, cafe or pub
• do yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ • go for a run 🏃🏽‍♀️or a walk 🚶🏽‍♀️
• explore your own city • try on new clothes at a store you’ve never gone to before!
• do a closet cleanse (this one is really a blast with your honest friends) then donate to make someone else’s day
• bake something and then share it
• smile 😊.
.
.
What do you do to make the sunshine on a cloudy day? What brings happiness to your soul? Do it peeps! No one is going to magically open up the skies for you...it’s your job to make it happen! ☀️
☀️
With a little help from your friends! .

🧘🏻‍♀️BEGINNING AGAIN 🧘🏻‍♀️

🧘🏻‍♀️BEGINNING AGAIN 🧘🏻‍♀️ Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to start again. .
.
I’ve had injuries before, I’ve acknowledged them, let my body heal and I’ve made it back. Maybe not all the way back in some cases. Those injuries have helped me try new things. They have made me more understanding and compassionate, as a runner and as a yogi.
.
.
This latest injury had me ignoring signs and not listening to my body. I used my trip to California followed by my moms visit as an excuse to postpone dealing with it. But I finally made an appointment to see what is going on with my foot. I also finally listened to my peeps and popped into a yoga class. It helped me relax, it helped me stretch things out. And afterwards... I began practicing again. Taking that extra time to work on challenging myself in my practice. .
.
How do you all deal with life’s adjustments? I’ve learned I tend to avoid things and just hope they go away... and when they don’t, I pull on my big girl panties, dig deep and jump in with both feet (or in this case one 😂) and find the solution. .
.
So here’s to a new week. A new path. Renewed strengths. Positive vibes peeps! Positive vibes 🧘🏻‍♀️#

“Don’t get all weird about getting older. Our age is merely the number of years the world has been enjoying us!” - Anonymous
.
.
.
I’ve had the best examples of how to age with enthusiasm. My grandmother lived to be 95 and did water aerobics until she was 91. Did I mention she flew Piper Cub airplanes in the civil air defense? My mother is 80 and walks miles every day. She’s also a hoot and a ham and not one to back down to a challenge or have a bit of fun and be silly. .
.
.
These are the strong women who raised me. Were the perfect? No. They showed me how to live life to the fullest at every age. I am blessed. .
.
Mom heads back to SoCal tomorrow and I’m guessing she’s looking forward to the warmer temps and hugging the younger grandkids. I’ll miss her until I see her again! .
.
.
Back to just me, my peeps and life!

This woman is unstoppable. She is simply amazing. She inspires me. She is stubborn. She makes me laugh 😂 And then there are times where she struggles with remembering that it makes me so sad. Then it passes and we laugh a little more. .

Have an awesome week peeps! Find inspiration in the small moments, because sometimes that is all we get. .

Thanks to all the sisters of my heart that make my mom feel so loved, listened to her stories and walked...a lot! @tammywenstrom @woodlandfeary @discoveringgeorgina_ and special thanks to Coach Erica in both of today’s @myopenfit classes for cheering us all! .

.
.
One of my favorite places to visit on a rainy day is the @seattleartmuseum 🎨 There are pieces that just grab you when you see them. They can be simple or complex. They can be old or new. Each time I go I find something new to enjoy. .
.
Mom, @tammywenstrom and I went to view the current exhibit #fleshandblood which was amazing. As we left, this was the last piece we saw. It is part of the rest of the museum, but I just couldn’t help standing there. An aging ballerina, a bit heavier, not quite able to reach her toes, but still loves to dance. She was beautiful in her passion. .
.
She is me. She reminded me that though we may be older, have a few more pounds than we would like and not quite be able to do the things we did in our youth, yet we are all beautiful, valued, needed. We still have so much more to share with those around us. Remember that on those tough days. When that run is more of a walk, when that forward fold looks more like a forward bend and lifting 10# more just isn’t happening. It’s ok. I see you. I hear you. And ....
.

💕You are beautiful Peeps!💕 .

“YOU’RE A WARRIOR! Warriors never give up and they don’t back down.” - Anonymous .
.
.
When you are an active person like me, having an injury is a super pain the the 😤🤪🤬. It’s all in how we deal with it. We can look the other way in denial and take longer to heal. We can switch to other forms of fitness while we heal. Or we can sit on the couch. .
.
.
Life has been so busy lately that I haven’t taken the time to allow an injury to heal properly because it is so incredibly hard for me to sit on the couch. Towards the end of December I sprained my big toe. Frankly, I don’t know how I did it. All I know is one day it really hurt to move up and down at the joint. Did I listen to my body and slow down? A little ??? Maybe?? .
.
.
Being careful with my toe caused inflammation to occur in the middle of my foot. Did that stop me or slow me down?? A little?? Maybe?? .
.
.
Life intervened by a throwing a visit from my mom who has a ton of endurance but at 6” shorter and 80 years old doesn’t go so fast. And it’s raining. A lot. Forcing us to find indoor activities. .
.
Thank you universe. I’m feeling better every day. I guess I needed a smack upside the head to practice what I preach and listen to my body! .

👩‍🍳 QUICK EASY RECIPE! 👩‍🍳 .
.
.
I’m always looking for ways to make a win-win out of recipes when I have leftover ingredients. Today I’m baking and cooking some yumminess in anticipation of Valentine’s Day when I realized I would have 4 egg whites leftover. With other stuff that’s always in my fridge I made a little batch of egg white bites! These are great for quick mornings and you can even freeze them, pop them in the micro and enjoy later on! Like I said...win-win! .
.

Or your hungry hubby can walk in while you are taking this photo and gobble them up with a dash of salsa and more cheese on top 🤣🤣🤣 .
.
Ingredients:
• 4 egg whites
• 3 Tbsp milk or half & half
• shredded medium cheddar cheese
• finely diced red & green peppers
• salt & pepper to taste
.
.
Directions: • spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside. Preheat oven to 375°F.
• whisk the egg whites (or whole eggs) and milk together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• add the peppers and shredded cheddar to the egg mixture.
• fill muffin cups 3/4 full and bake for 20-25 minutes until centers are set and no longer runny.
• cool slightly before serving.
.
.
Enjoy peeps!

We have lived in Ram’s territory, been Packer backers, wore 49er’s during the Montana/Young years and now cheer the home team Seahawks....when they don’t play the Packers 💛💚💛💚
.
.
.
Me? In 2020 I’m cheering for me! Doing all the things, trying all the stuff, and making all the choices and I’m starting early! Today it was #squatsunday . For every game I watched, any time someone scored I did squats - for the score total each time. What did that end up being? 231 #squats during the Packer-Lion game! And 192 #squats during the 49er-Seahawk game! .
.
.
With both of my teams in the Playoffs, I’ll give you the option of picking the next round of fitness move.... Crunches? Burpees? Push-ups? And then you can choose to join me! Let’s do this! Start 2020 off with a Win...for you!

Me? Can you guess?!? Christmas is where my family is 💕 As we all get up and get those last minute gifts, hop onto planes, trains and into automobiles, I want to wish you all a wonderful holiday season. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah 🕎, Christmas ✝️, Kwanzaa or you just enjoy the time off hug 🤗 and 😘 your family and friends and let them know how much they mean to you 💕
.

Because in the end, no matter how you spend the next few days, no matter the number of presents and gifts exchanged.... let the stress and worries go. Sit down and love on your loved ones. For all my 55 years and 55 Christmas Eve and Christmas days have looked different. In the end, whether we celebrated at home, away, with loads of family, with friends or simply with our little family of 4 or less it was all with love. .

I’m off to find some mistletoe and that handsome hubby of 33 years..... Love. It stays with you peeps! And I’m sending you loads your way💕💕💕

I’m all about taking fewer pieces and mixing up my look so I was super excited to find one piece that I could turn into multiple looks! Scroll right for all the fun. You don’t want to miss the last photo! 🤣🤣🤣

• First, as a dress, belted with fun above the knee boots! Yes! Me in a dress 😱😱😱 Belt not included, but I work too darn hard for my waist not to show it off as I always need to size up on dresses for my swimmer shoulders. • Worn open with a solid colored tank or shirt and jeans.
• Throw on a beanie and button a couple of buttons.

🚗ROAD TRIP FITNESS TRAVEL TIPS 🚗
.
.
As you may know, this year we are like many other families and are heading out on a long road trip, hello 1,194 miles, for the holidays 🚗 If you are road tripping with kids don’t miss my blog post all about that! Next, here’s a few tips...
.
.
• Hydrate! Yes, it will mean you may have to stop more, but it also mean you have a chance to stretch those legs! •
• Make use of those car stops to stretch! Your back, legs, everything!
•
• Give your feet some love! I always wear slip-on shoes and then take them off in the car. It’s the perfect time to massage my whole foot!
•
• I do yoga in the car, if I’m not driving that is 🤣, seated twists, seated cat/cow, and seated pigeon feel great! At a rest stop you can do some forward folds standing or seated as shown.
•
• If there isn’t room in the car for your yoga mat, I bring along a towel or my @prosourcefit yoga mat towel. No, it isn’t the same as having my mat, but it is longer than a towel since it is supposed to go over my mat and allows me to do yoga in the hotel room (no one wants to put their hands on the hotel floor 🤢)
•
• Make use of the hotel gym even if it means popping on the dreadmill. I do. .
.
.
If you’ve been following me long enough you know that I make use of the @myopenfit (previously Gixo) fitness app. Live and On Demand classes mean I can workout whenever and where ever! You can also try it for free for two weeks if you are curious! What better time than now if you are traveling? It’s my favorite way to keep my fitness going this time of year! DM me if you have any questions! .
.
That’s all peeps! I’m off to hug my son! .

🎄The house is decorated. The cookies are baked and frosted. I am so ready for the festivities to begin! 🎄
.
.
.
What is your favorite Christmas tradition? We all have them. That one thing that Christmas just isn’t officially Christmas without. Christmas Eve services at church? Decorating the tree as a family? Hanging the wreath on the door? .
.
For me and mine it is baking sugar cookies! You really aren’t surprised that it food, right? This tradition started years ago. My grandmother made them with my mother, my mother made them with us and I made them with my kids. .
.
The only year we didn’t make them was the year the twins were born. Hello newborns. It just wasn’t Christmas without those tasty treats. We had cookie decorating parties, we decorated around the table as a family. With our boys away, this year I started a new tradition. I made them with my daughter, Tyler. I may not have given birth to her but that’s how I think of her. It was a blast and I loved teaching her how to make the cookies she’s eaten for years. .
.
It’s never too early or too late to teach your kids to cook and bake. Some of my favorite memories are with our boys this time of year and yes, the recipe is on the blog! .
.
.
Happy Holidays peeps! .

Traditions that recall. The precious memories down the years. The sameness of them all." - Helen Lowrie Marshall

Decorating during the season looks so different to everyone. Some people like everything sparkly and new. Others love a more simple theme. For me, this time of year is a blending of the new and the old. .
.
Today on the blog, I share my favorite places in our home this season. Yes, I know, I’m a little behind. Christmas is in a week! But for those looking for a little more inspo or maybe some ideas for next year...it’s there. With all the places I found these wonderful pieces. .
