Thursday Things 12.10.15

I feel like I’ve been slacking on my posts a little bit here. It’s not that I’m crazy busy, but rather that I don’t have a consistent schedule like I used to in Minneapolis. At General Mills I knew I would be working Monday-Friday 8:30ish-5:00ish and could properly plan my schedule around it: when to bake, when to blog, when to run, when to meet up with friends. Now I may be at work from 8:00-7:30 one day and only 11:00-2:00 the next – all depending on my clients. For a Type A planner such as myself this throws me a little bit off of my game. I think it’s probably good for me though.

The great thing is that the days absolutely fly by! On Tuesday I was at 24 Hour Fitness for just shy of 12 hours. I trained 6 clients, consulted with 2 new members, attended a meeting with the other trainers, and fit in a quick workout myself. It went faster than any 8-hour day at General Mills. Needless to say, I’m happy with my career change so far.

So anyways, I’m going to try to work on my hustle and stay consistent with my posting. Otherwise my mom will call me out.

Also, the Denver sunrises are insanely fierce and I like these things:

  • I forgot how genius chocolate bark. Check all these out: dark chocolate cherry quinoa bark, pretzel peanut butter stuffed chocolate bark, mint chocolate swirl bark, chocolate almond ginger bark and cherry almond bark. I think I need to make some.
  • Then there are all of these amazing cookies on Sally’s Christmas Cookie Palooza.
  • Settl, a great new online dating app 😉
  • Do you have an RBF (Running Bitch Face)?
  • A guide to craft beer, just in case you need it.

Oh! And did you see that my Chocolate Pistachio Meringue recipe made it to a post on Buzzfeed -> 17 Fantastic Recipes for Meringue Cookies. It made me just a leeeetle bit excited.

Have a great Thursday!!!

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
