Disciplined in 2024

 Hey there and Happy New Year friends!  

Whether 2023 was an amazing year for you where you crushed your goals and made some fun, special memories or the year was a tough one for you filled with sickness, injuries, loss, and hardship, or you just lost motivation after a few months... let's say farewell to 2023 and hello to a fresh start in the new year!  

For me personally, 2023 was BOTH.  I had my best run year ever, celebrating 10 years of endurance running as a mother runner, running my 5th marathon, 2 half marathons, and some 5K's with my oldest daughter which was pretty special.  I ended the year just shy of 750 miles (my highest mileage ever) and I was very consistent with my strength training completing 264 BODi workouts.  I made some great memories with my family, checking off the states of New England plus New York, and we cheered on our girls at lots of soccer games, cross country meets, volleyball games, and football games (cheerleading).  My husband ended the year with a job promotion that he's really excited about.  And we added 6 more backyard chickens bringing our current flock to 10.  

 It was also a bit of a tough year, losing several important people in our lives and for me, lots of change (and stress) in my day job in healthcare.  As with most years, it was a reminder that we can experience really awesome things while also carrying hard things.  I think for all of us, most years are BOTH and that is life, right?  

I am really excited about 2024 and moving forward with discipline (my word for the year) when it comes to my running and fitness, my nutrition with a goal to get back down to an ideal weight for me, my morning and evening routine, and more reading and writing with a goal to finish that 3rd book I've been working on the last few years.  Have you picked a word for the year yet?  

Specifically, I will be running 1000 miles in 2024, continuing to get in 4-5 BODi workouts a week, following the Gut Protocol Nutrition plan that eliminates gluten, dairy, sugar, and alcohol amongst other things (because that is the plan that makes me feel my best and shed the pounds!), and applying for the NYC Marathon by lottery in hopes of getting in this year.  I still have my Cowtown marathon coming up in 8 weeks and some other races lined up, but for fun, I want to see if I can get into NYC as a bucket list race.  Anyone have some big race goals?  

I might be a nerd or just a little crazy, but I love having goals and a direction for the year.  Without a race on the calendar or something else to work towards, I feel a bit lost.  I am someone who likes living an intentional life, who often plans a year in advance.  It's not even the achievement of a goal that excites me, but who I become on the journey of working towards the goal.  The daily habits and actions, checking boxes, and working on myself that lights me up and helps me to thrive and not just survive.  

What helped me stay accountable last year is having a goal, a plan, and a community to do it with.  I'd love to offer the same to YOU!  Because where there is community, there is accountability!  And there's NO better time to join, as we are offering a mind blowing deal of BOGO plus $40 off through the end of the month.  As in, 2 years for the price of one PLUS $40 off a total solution pack to get you started on your health and fitness journey.  You will also have access to my accountability group on the APP as well as a private Facebook community for runners if that's you.  

If you had trouble sticking to a plan last year and didn't achieve your goals, it was most likely due to not having a plan or a roadmap, you didn't treat it as a non-negotiable like your job/kids/house, you didn't make it convenient or fun, you didn't develop the habit, and you didn't have a supportive community to keep you motivated and accountable.  Don't make that same mistake in 2024!  


Let's get you signed up for Miles, Muscles, and Motivation this year and make this your healthiest, fittest year yet!  Reach out if you are interested in taking advantage of this amazing deal this month only!  

I am filluptospillout on instagram and can also be reached at filluptospillout@gmail.com 

Until next time,

Let's have a feel GOOD, get FIT summer!

 Happy June, over a week late!  I just realized I never wrote a blog post in May, probably because May was CRAZY with end of the school year stuff and EXTRA CRAZY weather around here.  It was the wettest month EVER in Central Texas with over 15 inches of rain with several storms including hail and a tornado just a few miles from my house.  We are just a few weeks into summer and have been busy with storm clean-up, driver's ed classes for our oldest (eek!), camps, and workouts.  As our kids get older, summers just don't quite feel the same as sports never really stop and there are more and more things on our calendar.  We are looking forward to a couple of getaways coming up later this month and into July, which will hopefully be fun and relaxing, before getting ready for back to school in August.  I know this summer will fly by, but we are planning on making the most out of it. When it comes to my health and fitness, I am focusing on having a feel GOOD...

My podcast has launched... and some fall training updates!

 Welcome back!  It's been an exciting week as my oldest daughter turned 15 and got her driver's permit, my girls went back to school and their activities have started.... and my podcast officially launched out into the world on Friday!   It's been a dream of mine the last couple of years to start my own podcast as I have listened to an embarrassing amount of hours of podcasts on my runs, drives, and while doing my household chores.  I absolutely love podcasts as a way to learn, grow, get new ideas, and just be entertained as I do things that can sometimes feel monotonous.  And I hope my podcast will do the same for my listeners!  If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link!   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fill-up-to-spill-out-podcast/id1760984013 Tomorrow kicks off official 1/2 marathon training for me as I start preparing for my 17th half marathon, one I have run several times, the Rock n Roll San Antonio 1/2.  I hope to beat m...

Put yourself in the ROOM with others who have what you want!

 Happy July and the last 6 months of 2024!  Can you believe this year is already halfway over?  Crazy, huh?  Whether you're crushing your goals or feeling a little behind, know that there is still time to keep working and end the year STRONG!  6 months is plenty of time to commit to a fitness program and build muscle, change your body composition, lose weight, start building healthy habits when it comes to nutrition, train for a winter race, or start prioritizing those big dreams and goals you are still thinking about (they're there for a reason!).  I don't know about you... but I'm not giving up on my list of goals for the year!  Because I am worth the work... and so are YOU! Over a week ago, I attended our annual BODi Summit in San Antonio, Texas for the 2nd year in a row and was reminded of the importance of putting yourself in the room with others who have what you want.  People who are also goal-oriented, ambitious, health-focused, early-morn...
