The First Monday after a LOOOOONG Break

It was so hard to go back to work today after having 2 weeks off!! I can never sleep the night before I have to go back to work!! It's ridiculous! But somehow I managed to get up to my alarm this morning and get my workout done this morning. It's amazing how just a morning butt-kicking workout can change your attitude and outlook for the day! I knocked out a 1 mile speed run, Insanity Max:30 Cardio Challenge and Ab Attack, and PiYo Buns. Love all these workouts!! They totally make my day that much better. My theme for the day was CONQUER! And I CONQUERED Monday! Because of my new found healthy lifestyle and obsession with working out and running, I never miss a workout and I always feel better afterwards, even if I didn't want to to begin with.

The one thing that I really did enjoy about going back to work was the return to my routine. I am totally a routine person and when my schedule is messed up, it can really throw me for a loop. It was really nice to be back and see the teachers and students again! I did sort of miss the kids over break! They always keep me on my toes! LOL

I also took the theme of Conquering Monday and stepped out of my comfort zone to email fitness establishments to inquire about teaching PiYo since I will be PiYo Certified through Beachbody on Saturday!!! Super excited! But the most exciting part of stepping out of my comfort zone today, was that within hours, I have already heard back from 2 different places that want to talk to me about teaching!!! I am so excited!! I never, ever would have thought that this would be something that I would be thinking about doing, let alone contacting people to make it come true!!! I cannot wait to see what happens once I begin these new ventures!! I am totally feeling the Woman of Steele name today!!!

So until next time: Be Strong, You Never Know Who You Are Inspiring!!

Run On!!

Project: Garage 2016 Part 4: Trusses, roof work, framing, and a new back door

I am so stinking excited about the work that has been done on my garage this week! I am so incredibly thankful for our builders (Hometown Remodeling, LLC)! They have put in a lot of work and it has been incredibly hot this week. I love the sun and I love to lay out in the sun, but even I didn’t want to go out this week!! Here’s what went down this week: Monday, July 18, 2016 : The trusses were delivered while the kids and I were at swim lessons. That was all that we thought was going to happen today. Luckily the builders finished their other job up early and headed to our house to get started on setting the trusses. They got about half of them set up before quitting for the day. Tuesday, July 19, 2016 : The builders arrived at 8:30 am to start on finishing the trusses, putting the wood down for the roof, and tar paper to get ready for the shingles. These 3 guys worked super hard all day. They di...

Inspired Endurance Giveaway

I HAVE SOMETHING SUPER AWESOME TO SHARE!! READ ON TO FIND OUT MORE!!! Several times during the past 3 weeks I have been wearing these 2 awesome bracelets from Inspired Endurance. It was brought to my attention about 4 weeks ago that they were looking for bloggers to wear their jewelry and write a review about them. I was honored to be able to do this. I asked for the 13.1 charm for myself and the run charm to give away. I have been wearing both to see what it would be like to wear multiple bracelets from them. I love them! I love them so much that I am actually going to purchase the 26.2 charm to wear with my 13.1 charm so that I can wear 2 of them all the time! They are so comfortable to wear that I hardly notice that I have them on! I am a teacher so I am running around all day working with kids, working the copy machine, and typing on the computer. Normally dangly bracelets will end up driving me crazy about halfway...

MADISON MARATHON 26.2~I AM A MARATHONER!!!!

OMG!!!!! I DID IT!!! I RAN A MARATHON!!! I AM A MARATHONER!!!! I seriously cannot believe I did it! I am still in shock days later! I completed a marathon! I didn’t DNF! I wanted to several times towards the end, but thanks to some awesome new running friends, I made it through the entire 26.2 miles! I feel ridiculously sore, but I am the happiest and proudest I think I have ever been of myself! I DID IT!!!! I was so nervous waking up this morning! I didn’t fully know what to expect since it was my first full, but I have run so many other races that I just used my normal routine to get myself going. I ate breakfast and got myself dressed, then went on to waking up the rest of my crew. My awesome Mother-in-law spent the night since we had to be up and going so early. I wanted to leave the house by 5:45 but we never leave when I want to. Getting my crew up and going is quite a feat this early in the morning...
