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!

Until next time,

It's August! Back to school, back to routines...

Happy August , the month that basically feels like January (except much hotter!) as we gear up for fresh starts and new routines.  Some people grab a new planner at the beginning of the year, and others like me associate a new year with August as the kids start a new school year.  So whether you're in the 1st camp or 2nd camp, either way, August feels like a great time to reevaluate, clean out, and refocus.  Summer has pretty much come to an end, and it's time to get back on track with routines that serve you and your family.   I don't know about you, but this summer felt like it FLEW by!  To recap, the girls had cheer camp, soccer camps, driver's Ed, and a week of overnight camp at Pine Cove, not to mention summer workouts, a few cheer practices, as well as soccer and cross country practices.  I attended my BODi summit in San Antonio, which was a highlight of my summer, getting away for the weekend with teammates and friends.  We also had our annual f...

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...

Aging well in April

  Happy April ... just a few days late, as I decided to start April with getting really sick.  I RARELY get sick, or at least not sick enough to miss a day or 2 of work, so when I do, it is always a good reminder for how much I APPRECIATE my body when it feels GOOD.  I am used to having energy and working out daily.   What a GIFT it is to be able to take care of my body!   In the last couple of weeks, I've been reminded, not only in my own sickness, but in other ways, WHY I do the things I do to stay healthy.  I want to AGE WELL!!  Last week, so many of my patients ages 40 on up kept telling me how horrible it was to get older.  When, I told them, "well, it beats the alternative... as in being 6 feet under," they laughed and said it might be better to be dead than alive.  Their aches and pains, fatigue, weight gain, and more made them wish their life was over, instead of just beginning another season.  How sad it that?!?!   As a fam...
