"I really regret eating healthy today." ~ said no one EVER! Just keep that one in mind, Folks.
Managed to lace up the running shoes and hit the pavement today for another chilly run (33F and 24F with windchill! Yowsa!) and I rather enjoyed it! I just wish there was a touch of sunshine instead of these dark, grey skies, day in and day out. Oh, and for those of you cold-loving runners, is there anyway to prevent yourself from turning into a human snot machine when you're running in cold weather? Sorry if that's gross, but my nose runs like crazy when I'm running and was wondering if anyone had any helpful hints?
Food wise, I'm trying to plan something fun for The Sig-O and me for Christmas, and since we don't eat "conventional" foods (i.e. anything remotely processed, man-made, animal products or grains), I'm thinking I might make some almond flour flatbread, baked falafel burgers and maybe more of my Kashmir garam masala curry red split lentil and butternut squash soup and some of my amazing raw, vegan, sugar/grain-free "pumpkin pie in a jar".
For me, "healthy" never takes a vacation. It is a state of being. And no holiday is going to derail me from feeling so joyful, healthy and full of vitality and boundless energy! Besides, aren't the holidays about joy, friends, family, goodwill and love? Screw the eggnog, I'd rather go for a nice, long jog! (Hey, that rhymed!)
Have a fabulous weekend, everyone! Be safe, be healthy, and when holiday stress rears its ugly head, just remember to breathe.
Kale, Kettlebells and Kisses to you all!

"No excuses." That's what I kept saying to myself all morning long. "No excuses, Little Miss Runner. No excuses, damn it!" Is it 37F degrees outside? Yes. Are there pockets of snow and ice on the sidewalks? Yes. Is the wind blowing and the sky grey with clouds threatening more winter weather? Yes. Did I let any of that prevent me from lacing up my running shoes and hitting the pavement for a run today? HELL NO!! Honestly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. My nose was a little sniffly from the cold, but other than that, I was fine. No excuses, Folks. Just stop listening to that voice that says, "Oh, you can always do it tomorrow." and just make it happen. There's no better time to stop making excuses than right now! You'll feel better for it. I promise!
Have a spectacular day, everyone! You deserve it.

Still kicking ass and taking names here, Folks! Scale is holding firmly at my goal weight! It feels really good to still be 100% committed to my health during this time of year where everyday presents challenges to staying on track from the cold weather and snow that makes running nearly impossible (Thank goodness for the basement treadmill!) to the extra unhealthy indulgences that seem to plague every social interaction.
I am unwavering in my resolve to make the best possible decisions for my health each and every day and keep the promise to myself that I would never let unhealthy food compromise my health and well being ever again. Staying healthy and making the healthiest decisions during the holidays feels so much better than any glass of eggnog ever did!
Much health, happiness and holiday cheer to you all!

Hey there, Folks!
Here's just a quick update about Little Ol' Me. The scale is holding steady, so I've now been able to maintain my goal weight for over a month with no deviations. I'm still probably logging about 80% of my food intake to make sure I don't go completely hog wild. But for me, "hog wild" means an extra serving of vegan spiced teff "polenta" or maybe a small dollop of organic honey in my tea. Not very "wild", I know, but there's no way I'm letting myself fall back into old habits. Life feels too amazing in this healthy body to ever go back to that. I genuinely feel like I've made some serious, life-long changes to how I eat and more importantly, how I think and feel about food, which I think is half the battle (if not more).
I've gained more focus and clarity on the direction I want to take my health coaching business in the last few weeks and am looking forward to launching it soon. I registered for my CPT (certified personal trainer) exam for January 12th, so I now have a deadline for my studies, which is good and bad. And I took that money from the artwork I sold to upgrade my video equipment for my documentary! I finally feel like I'm making genuine progress towards my goals and it feels great, albeit slightly overwhelming at times. But whenever I get stressed, I put things in perspective take a few deep breaths and press onwards.
This is a really exciting and busy time for me, so I'll do my best to keep you all updated as best I can. I have been reading my buddies' journal entries and I'm glad to see you're doing well! Keep it up and know I'm thinking about you all and sending happy, healthy vibes your way!
Now, go out and make the day extraordinary. You deserve it!

I have emerged from my cocoon of sickness and feel like I've finally recovered from that horrible cold. The scale has remained the same, thankfully! And I was able to get in a 6-mile run yesterday (mostly due to the unseasonably warm weather. Yay!!) Was it as effortless as it was 2 weeks ago? Not really. But did I feel like I disappointingly backslid my fitness level? No way! I still really enjoyed the run and it felt SO GREAT to be able to get outside, soak up some sunshine, and log some more miles! And since I'm not really training for a specific race right now, maintaining muscle memory, cardio fitness, and having fun is the name of the game! I love how I can say a 6-mile run is "fun" for me now! It wasn't too long ago that the single most dreaded exercise for me was running. I was a horrible runner. I loathed it. I truly dreaded it. It did nothing but make me feel like I was heavy, awkward, slow, enormous and out-of-shape. But I made up my mind that I wasn't going to let it limit me anymore, because I always secretly envied those who were good runners and I wanted to become one too. So, I got my butt on a treadmill and I didn't give up. Day after day, I kept getting on that treadmill and refused to give in to that voice that told me how much I hated running. Once I stopped listening to that voice and started focusing on how running really made me feel: accomplished, determined, successful and athletic, I really started to enjoy my runs. Seven months later, I crossed the finish line at my first half-marathon with a huge smile on my face and a sense that I can accomplish anything I desire. How effing amazing is that? It really is just a matter of putting one foot in front of the other and refusing to give up, folks. Set a goal, keep putting one foot in front of the other and refuse to give up until you accomplish it.
Ok, Kids... gotta run. My to-do list beacons me!
Go out and make the day extraordinary! You deserve it!
