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!

If you’re planning a trip to Florida’s Forgotten C If you’re planning a trip to Florida’s Forgotten Coast, save this one. 🌊 #RentingTheCoastPartner

We stayed at Singing Waves in Cape San Blas, and it was everything we wanted in a beach getaway: beautiful views, plenty of space, and the kind of place that makes you slow down and actually enjoy vacation.

What really stood out, though, was Renting the Coast. They’re a locally owned, family run company that manages vacation homes throughout Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, and the surrounding Forgotten Coast communities. 

Instead of managing hundreds of properties, they intentionally keep their inventory smaller so they can provide a more personal experience for both guests and homeowners. They’re known for being accessible, responsive, and focused on making sure every stay goes smoothly.

If Cape San Blas has been on your travel list, Singing Waves is absolutely worth checking out, and so is Renting the Coast’s collection of homes along Florida’s most underrated stretch of coastline. ☀️

Ready to start planning your own Forgotten Coast getaway? Click the link in my bio to explore available homes and find the perfect spot for your next beach vacation.

Have you ever visited Cape San Blas?

We’re always looking for ways to be intentional with our family’s decisions, which is why we’ve been learning more about Liberty HealthShare and the healthcare sharing community they’ve built.

Have you ever looked into healthcare sharing before? If you are curious like me, check out the link in my bio or stories for info!

Thinking about staying at Loews Royal Pacific Reso Thinking about staying at Loews Royal Pacific Resort? #hosted

A few things we loved:

🌴 Tropical island atmosphere that actually feels like an escape from the parks

🚤 Water taxi access to Universal CityWalk and the parks

🚶 Easy walking path if you’d rather skip the boat

🎢 Unlimited Express Pass included for registered guests

🏊 Beautiful pool area with plenty of space to relax between park days

For us, it was the perfect balance of resort time and theme park time.
Have you stayed at Loews Royal Pacific Resort, or is it on your Universal wish list?

*Valid on both arrival and checkout day. Please see the Universal Orlando website for rules and regulations for the unlimited express pass. Not valid at Epic Universe or Volcano Bay. Park tickets purchased separately.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s been personally victimized by the passage of time and a perky Gen Z girlie. 😂

I didn’t realize how much mental space hair removal was taking up until it just… wasn’t anymore. Between games, trips, and everything in between, having something I can do at home in minutes has been a total game changer. The app-guided treatments keep me consistent without having to think about it, and I’m already noticing smoother skin that actually lasts. And yes — the full-body, 10-minute-at-home situation still feels a little unreal. 

If you’ve been on the fence, Prime Day (June 14–27) is definitely the moment to check it out with $120 off. #BraunSmartIPL

We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we just needed a break from the noise.
What we found in Florida was something better than that. #ad

Our first stop in Auburndale was all about slowing down in the best way. We stayed in a cozy tiny home at Camp Margaritaville (you can also stay in an RV!). We enjoyed coffee on the porch, our daughter loved the pool and waterslide (there is even a splash zone for the littles!), and at night we slowed things down with s’mores instead of screens. It felt like nature + comfort + family time all finally in the same place. They have so many other amenities like mini golf, golf cart rentals, pickleball, a playground, cornhole, and more. Nearby, we explored the Florida Children’s Museum and had incredible food and drinks at Smith’s American Tavern and Black & Brew Coffee. 

Then, we headed over to Fort Myers to experience a completely different side of the state. Shelling walks at sunrise, beach volleyball, pool cabanas, and the kind of Gulf sunsets that make everyone go quiet for a minute. Direct beach access at the Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers made it effortless to go from “let’s check it out” to toes in the sand in minutes. There were several restaurants on property, so we never even got in our car. That plus live music, fire pits, the spa, and lawn games made it easy to want to stay put and relax.

What stood out most wasn’t just the scenery… it was how easy it was to actually be together here. No rushing or overplanning. That’s the true Floridays feeling for me. Laid-back, a little unexpected, and exactly what we didn’t know we needed. 🌴☀️
