Fun for Friday - #MoveEatLive

By
Happy Friday! I've been a bit MIA this week where it comes to blogging. I guess I'm experiencing a bit of writer's block. I am also feeling a bit out of sorts as to where to take my blog these days.

I began the blog on a whim with no real knowledge of blogging - I didn't really even read many blogs at that time. I wrote about what I ate and my workouts each day. After two years of basically recording every.single.dinner I realized I had put silly pressure on myself to A) 365 days a year, B) record every dinner with a photo and often recipe, C) record every single workout, D) respond to every comment.

Slowly I started to allow myself to not post on the weekends (crazy talk right?). I stopped posting every dinner and every workout. Guess what? I still had my amazing friends showing up to read and comment. Phew.

Last year I passed my certifications to become a Personal Trainer and Running Coach. Since that time, I have tried to get a new business off the ground - Where's the Beach Fitness. Along the way, I realized that my ideas for blog posts were starting to change.

I want to share informative bits of info related to fitness and health. Yes, part of that is to drive my business, but it's also what I am passionate about. I'm also seeing a huge trend in blogs to be more about reviews, campaigns, information and less personal. So where does that leave me and my blog? I'm not exactly sure, but that's part of why I've been blogging less I suppose.

But I'm still here. I still read and comment on other blogs. I miss the interaction over here on my blog as well. So I'm not going away, just blogging when I have something more meaningful to say rather than just blogging to have a post going out. I hope you stick with me and I would love any feedback on types of posts, recipes, workouts, me blathering about my weekend ...

With all that being said, I will continue to be Moving.Eating.Living it up. So, for Fun for Friday, I thought I'd share what I've been up to this week.


Move

I've been running (shocker I know). I've gotten in some fairly speedy runs this week and am looking forward to slowing my roll for tomorrow's longer run. I've been doing my weight workouts during lunch. I just can't seem to muster the energy to lift in the morning, especially after a run. I prefer to let my body recover from a run before lifting - trying to separate the two. As cross-training, I will ride my bike. 

Eat

Our garden has been doing amazing this year and my dad and mother both sent me some fresh veggies from their respective gardens, so we've been eating a TON of veggies this week trying not to let anything go to waste. The grill is getting a lot of use.

Live

I've been trying to really relax and enjoy my weekends and evenings. Last weekend my sister was in town so I got to spend a lot of time with her, which I always enjoy. Weather permitting, I've been sitting out on my patio reading for a bit each evening as well. It's a great way to decompress and simply be.

What is your #Move.Eat.Live for the week?

I Run to Feel Alive

By
Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th

Vacation Day 2 - Running, Reading, Relaxing

By
Running This morning I woke up a bit before 7 am. Of course, we had gone to sleep by 9....on vacation no less. I had thought I might try for an outdoor run, but the temps were already a humid 83 degrees by 8 am. So, I took my run to the treadmill. I had the Food Network to keep me occupied for a pretty decent 5 mile run. Running and watching tv isn't so bad ;-) I did 3 miles, then 4 1:00 athletic intervals then finished up another mile to round it out to and even 5. After stretching and rolling (yep, brought my TriggerPoint kit ), we packed up the cooler with lunch and headed down to the beach. Not a bad way to start the day if you ask me. Beach Time & Stair Cardio We set up our little umbrella camp and proceeded to just relax. I was excited to start one of the books I brought along with me: Alice Sebold's The Almost Moon . I've read her memoir, Lucky , and her first work of fiction, The Lovely Bones . . We were out for a few hours before taking a break.
