Weekly Recap: July Week 4

July 29, 2012 | fitness, injury, running, Uncategorized

 

Good morning! So, who spent the day yesterday watching the Olympics? This girl! I switched between television and live feeds online, but got my fill of sports for the day. I have a feeling I am not going to get much accomplished in the next couple of weeks!

I did manage to get a decent week of workouts in, and am looking forward of week two of Best Body Bootcamp!

Sunday: rest

Monday: BBB workout A, 20 minutes bike (HIIT)

Tuesday: BBB workout B, 20 minutes bike (intervals)

Wednesday: rest

Thursday: BBB workout C, 20 minutes bike

Friday: biceps and core

Saturday: core, stretching, legs

————————–

I am excited to challenge myself with BBB week two, and hopefully won’t have to be in my boot too much longer. I go to the doctor August 6th, so fingers crossed that it is not a stress fracture and I am able to go back to running again before the Disneyland half. I can’t believe I leave in just about a month for it! What is even more crazy is that Health Living Summit is just around the corner. I am so excited to be a speaker and can’t wait to see some of you very very soon!

 

Be on the lookout for a review/giveaway coming up this week!

QOTD: Opening ceremonies, loved it, hated it, favorite part?

    Love watching the Olympics and I love having it on when I’m at the gym. It inspires me so much more!

    LOVED the opening ceremonies – and loving the games so far!! I second you on the lack of productivity expected these next two weeks…

    Can’t wait to meet you at HLS!

    I didn’t watch opening ceremonies or any part of Olympics
    I’m not good at watching tv unless on my bike and lately have been busy doing other stuff

    Sounds like you had a good week!

    I didn’t watch the opening ceremonies. I like the Olympics, I’ve just gotten out of the habit of watching tv, so it never even occurred to me to turn it on LOL.

    I wish I was going to HLS :-(. Sigh. Maybe next year.

    As I type this, I’m watching women’s cycling. Multi-tasker :-). Had to record the opening ceremonies, though (and haven’t watched yet). They just go on too late for this eatly bird.

    Great week of workouts! I’m obsessed w/ the Olympics, too. I hope you can get out of the boot soon 🙁

    I only caught bits and pieces of the opening ceremony. I haven’t really been watching much of the games to be honest though. Had my sister over and sister time kind of trumps everything else 😉

    I’ve been watching as much of the Olympics as I can in between errands and what have you. I watched a good portion of the Opening Ceremonies before falling asleep (had to get up at 4am on Saturday to run) and thought it was interesting. It was different. Definitely a lot of work went into it.

    Can you believe that I missed the opening ceremonies???? I promise I’m not unAmerican! 🙂 Had worked a 9 hour day and went out to eat with hubby.

    Fingers are crossed on your hopefully not fracture!

    great week in the gym! We’ve had the olympics on all day too. Swimming is my favorite–loving seeing Lochte’s success!
    oh-opening ceremonies started good, but ended with a big thumbs down from me as a whole. It was kind of strange there in the middle.

    Wow you did AWESOME on your first week! Boooh to the injury, but YAY for hopeful recovery! On to week two!

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️

The end of the year is always a time that I reflec The end of the year is always a time that I reflect on how things went, what I want to do different or better in the new year, and to be honest…I’m always really hard on myself.😕

I often end up sad or frustrated that things didn’t “turn out as planned.” But planned according to who? Success according to what? 

As we were ice skating last weekend at Gaylord Opryland, laughing and just having so much fun as a family, I was hit with what I can only describe as a warm fuzzy. I wanted to smile and cry all at the same time. I thought to myself….this is it right here. 🥹

If nothing else good happens, I’ve got this and am so rich because of it. These moments. This is what I always prayed for as a girl when imagining my family one day. And it’s here, happening right now. I don’t want to wish it away waiting for the next big thing to happen. 

I just want to ice skate with them in a place that makes us so happy. Wha a year. ⛸️ ❤️

It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as a Thanksgiving post, right? 🦃🫶🏻

I took the day off on Thursday and then worked a ton Friday, EK had bball Saturday and then we went out of town. I realized I never posted for turkey day! 😜

I have so much to be thankful for, most days I feel completely undeserving. God has been good to us, even in the days that don’t feel so good. His plans may not make sense at the time, but thankfully He is the one that sees the whole picture, not us! 

We are going into the Christmas season with hearts full of gratitude and love as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is the most special and my favorite time of year! Let the celebrating continue! 

Lastly, I am thankful for all of YOU! For liking, commenting on, and watching my content over the years. Without you, my career doesn’t exist and I am beyond thankful for the opportunities this job has given me. So THANK YOU! 🫶🏻
