Friday File: heart rate monitor and the workout

Happy Friday! It’s been a long and adventurous week for me. Life has kept me busy the past two weeks and I’ve been trying to change some of my habits. There a lot of change happening among the chaos in my life. This week I’ve been trying to get my Garmin Fenix watch of unproductive fitness mode into something that made me feel better. Do you pay attention to your heart rate zones when you work out? I have always paid attention to my heart rate but never in the area, I should be working. I always assumed that if…

A Weekly Dinner Meal Plan: Ground Turkey

The meal plan and meal prep are what is on everyone’s mind. There’s not much for me to offer you in this area because I don’t create my own recipes. Plus, I don’t mind eating the same food all week. I can make one meal and eat it for dinner all week, but I know some people just don’t like leftovers. I thought I would try to create a dinner meal plan for the blog readers. To make grocery shopping a bit easier, I focused on one protein cooked different ways throughout the week. Here’s the meal plan with this…

Putting yourself first

Life is busy and things get really messed up in life, but it is OK to put yourself first. Have you ever made a list of the important things in your life? Where do you fall on that list? Most of the time your name doesn’t even show up on the list. I’m giving you permission to put yourself on the list. The misconception about putting yourself first is that selfishness. This is not being selfish, this is smart. Think about all the things you do in a day and how many of those things you do for other people.…

Friday File: podcasting, running, essential oils and more

Happy Friday! I’m starting something “new” on the blog called the Friday File. I’ll be honest, it’s just the Friday Five but without the five. The pressure to produce a list of the five things sometimes made me not want to do a weekly roundup. I feel like I’ve been hitting my stride this week in life, which means next week everything is going to fall apart. I’m ok with that though. I did some great things this week. If you haven’t listened to the podcast, you definitely should. Having this podcast will add more content to the site and…

Race Recap: Louisiana Marathon 2019 Weekend – Half Marathon

Louisiana Marathon weekend happened a couple of weeks ago, but I never got around to talking about the events of the weekend. The event happened January 18-20, 2019 in Baton Rouge. The event didn’t go exactly as planned, but the weekend turned out great. This is the race weekend I look forward to every year. The atmosphere is great! The expo isn’t my favorite part because it’s very small. There isn’t really much to see or do so it’s really just a place to pick up your bib and see friends. There were a few extra things this year but…

I am making changes

I am making changes. I’ve been hanging out without a plan for too long so now it’s time to change. It’s ok to not have a plan, but I know I need a plan to get back on track. Before I get too far into this post, I want to tell you about the biggest change I’ve made. Yesterday during the Super Bowl, I finally dropped my podcast. Back in the day, I did podcasting before it cool and I talked about Gossip Girl. This time around I’ll be talking self-improvement, weight loss, and some other things. My co-host of…
