Post half marathon feels

So the last few days, I haven't been posting because I've been getting up before 3 am, napping each day and going to bed early.  Why?!

Walt Disney World Marathon weekend!   I volunteered at 3 of the 4 races and ran the half marathon on Saturday! 

My legs are still crazy sore and this morning I didn't get up to exercise to finish making up for lost sleep!   My husband and I already have agreed and plan to wake up and exercise in the morning!

I also got a little off track of my Plexus products due to weird sleep schedules and not knowing what day and time it was....so I'm happy to be back on track today!

I woke up and had my Pink drink, Active and Vitalbiome. 

Then I had my Lean and Collagen smoothie with my x-factor, some extra Ease, and Metaburn.

Water, water, water and BioCleanse (I've missed some of these and wonder if less magnesium is why my calves are so sore).   Snack was some popcorn with Eli.

Lunch was a ham and turkey on a low carb spinach wrap with mayo, tomato and lettuce. 

Water, water, water, BioCleanse.  Some strawberries and deviled egg for a snack.

Water, water.   Dinner was ground turkey patty and steamed veggies.  I put all the burger toppings I normally would eat and just cut it all up together to keep it low carb. 

More water, and ready for my Probio5, Mega-X, and more Ease! 

Good news for anyone wanting to join me on my health journey with my supplements- while I believe 100% they are worth every penny, this weekend I went to a Plexus training and got a discount code for new people!  Get with me to save some money!

Blessings in Health and Happiness!

First Monday

First Monday of the New Year means extra challenges.
Today was also the first day for me for a new job.  And still the lingering little bit of sickness.

I coughed a lot last night, so I didn't get up early to exercise.  That was going to be okay because I was going to do it later with Ella. 

It's way past later and it's not happening.   Reason #1 I should always get up.

Breakfast was my Lean Collagen smoothie about 30 minutes after my Active/Slim and Vitalbiome.  Took my antidepressant, Ease, X-factor and Metaburn with my smoothie.

Had lots of water and BioCleanse.  Lunch when I got home from working was Caesar salad and a cheese stick.  

I had a second cheese stick for a snack later.  More water, another BioCleanse.  Dinner was ham, collard greens and green beans.  

I broke down and found a little candy bar.  Finders keepers.  I also had some banana chips (not pictured).  I think I mostly wanted these snacks because I was super tired- probably from coughing half the night. 

So now I haven't worked out, or had even a super productive day other than my morning at my new job.  But tomorrow is another day that will be sure test my patience with school starting again.

So Probio5, Mega-x, and Ease and off to bed.

Blessings in Health and Happiness-

Sunday in recovery

Today I started trying to live normally again and did pretty decent. Had a few coughing spells but got through!
Started with my Pink Drink and Vitalbiome and then lifted with the husband- did dead lifts and clean and jerks among other things. Then ran a mile with Ella.

So breakfast today after working out was my Lean and Collagen smoothie with my X-factor, Ease, and Metaburn!

Water, water, water, and some Active after church.  Lunch was a 7ish layer salad. 

Snacks today consisted of banana and cheese stick.  I really wanted chocolate.  Lucky for me, I don't have any so I didn't have to torture myself! 

Water, water, water, BioCleanse.  Dinner tonight was Meatloaf and mixed veggies, but I made sweet potato potato salad and ate that before dinner was cooked and didn't do the mixed veggies.  

Those don't look the yummiest, but they are!   

More water.  Family and one of Eli's friends were outside playing this evening including jump rope contests!  I think I win!  

Before bed I'll do my Probio5, Mega-x and Ease!

Plagued by the Plague

Lovely heading, right?  I've had a cold.  It was awful.  Thankfully, my immune system is top notch and I'm feeling better already. 

Yesterday I didn't exercise, spent most of my morning in bed and basically all afternoon on the couch. 

But I was pretty productive in bed, had my smoothie, my water and all my supplements.

For a snack I had some grapes and didn't really have lunch or dinner- had some ramen noodles which really wasn't anywhere on my eating program but the warm broth was good for my chest congestion.  

This morning I woke up feeling a whole lot better.  Got my Active and Slim in right away

I walked on the treadmill- didn't trust running just yet- and then did a short workout with Ella.

Breakfast was a baked egg dish

Water, Water, BioCleanse, Water.  Salad for lunch

Water, water, BioCleanse and snack of turkey sticks and cheese.

More water and dinner was a chicken in wine sauce served over zoodles!  Soooooooo good.

Now time for Probio5, Mega-X and Ease and bed!  Going to try a short run tomorrow.  Hope I continue to get well and hit my goals!

Blessings in Health and Happiness-

Happy New Year

Happy New Years!   Last I posted was New Years morning, I had just completed my running and drank my Lean/Collagen Smoothie to kick the New Year off Right!

After tons of water and BioCleanse, I had some grapes as a snack, and for lunch a low-carb turkey wrap! 

More water, BioCleanse but then started to get a sinus headache. A friend took Eli for awhile to play and while Lyle and the rest of the family had salmon per our meal plan for dinner- I went with noodle soup to help loosen the congestion.  This is Mrs. Grass soup which is no where on the meal plan but always my go-to when I'm sick in any way.  I didn't add any extra noodles or crackers like I always do though, so I'm counting it as a healthy!   I also had 2 turkey sticks a little bit later for a snack since that and decongestants were helping.  

More water, Probio5, Ease, and Mega-X then off to bed.  

Got up the next morning, drank my Active/Slim, took my Vitalbiome and met my friend for a 5k training run.  Lots of coughing and a rough go.  Then got Lyle out of bed and we lifted weights and did the "walk" (he took off running which I couldn't catch up), and then Ella and I wrapped up with a mile of intervals.   Breakfast we made egg "muffins" the night before and got them out of the fridge- they warm up easy.  Took my x-factor, Ease, Metaburn and prescription medications with it.  

Water, water, water, BioCleanse and grapes for a snack again. 

With decongestants kicking in, started feeling better- just a little congestion- and family visited before flying home to Indiana.  So we took them to a local place called "The Catfish Place".   I had a side salad, shrimp and tenders with fries and hush-puppies.  I ate 1 and 1/2 off the hush-puppies (because from this place you HAVE to) and maybe 4 fries?  Not much.  Mostly the meat and salad.  

We had a beautiful Florida afternoon and sat in the backyard talking.  I was still drinking down my water and had my BioCleanse.  I started getting a little congested again as the afternoon wore on and I dabbed some Ease Cream on my chest and head to try to help open up and relieve headache.  

Dinner was supposed to be green beans and smoked sausage- I had a little but also had some more of my sick soup. 

More water, Probio5, Ease, and Mega-X and I was in bed asleep by 8:30 PM.  

I get ill so rarely it's like an insult to my being.  I think since I've been running on full for awhile now that I have time to focus on me and relax, not to mention trying to get on a new system, my immune system is a little low.  I hope I bounce back quick, which I normally do, especially without all the junk in my eating to flair it all up. (sugar feeds bad stuff y'all)

So that's what's up now.  I just woke up and did my gratitude practice for today and getting ready to mix my Slim.
