Little Bean and I decided to walk to school this morning without the carriage.
Which ended like this.
I only have a few more months of being able to do that so I’m taking an advantage. The bean in getting BIG and big FAST!
When I got back I had to run to Ryan’s school for a photo with the Fit Club. We wrapped up the year and plan on doing it again next year which I guess is a good transitions for this photo I posted on IG today.
Another gym member finished the workout early and went around taking photos of everyone. My caption for the photo was:
This is how I start almost everyday. My brain thinks I’m crazy but my heart loves every minute of it.
I can’t believe the progress I’ve made and I’m fascinated to see how far I can go.
@Paulalynnallen commented and said,
Wow… Just curious! Have you changed your eating to the iifym? You seem very happy!
I’ll be honest, I couldn’t figure out what iifym meant but her comment about being happy really made my day. I HAVE been happy lately and I think it’s because I finally figured this out:
“Healthy striving is self-focused: “How can I improve?” Perfectionism is other-focused: “What will they think?” ― Brené Brown
Carla and I talked about it in today’s #wycwyc podcast — click here to check it out.
I got another question on that photo from @jenniegift,
I have been going to 6am class at my box too. How do you fuel your workout that early in the am?
Boy do I wish had the answer for that! I’m still trying to figure it out. Right now I either go on an empty stomach, have an granola bar, apple with peanut butter, a banana, or oatmeal. Today I tried a slice of toast sunflower seed butter which was pretty perfect.
The weird thing about eating that early is I end with having like 3 breakfasts. Which is why I think the idea of 3 meals a day is kind of bogus.

While putting it away I thought, hmmm what can whip up real fast. It’s basically a ham and cheese sandwich turned into a quinoa bowl. I added cubed ham, cubed cheese, a good whole grain mustard and tossed everything together. It was delish!
