I think I'm finally done cooking. Chili, creamy chicken and noodle, roasted sliced sweet potatoes for snacks, and salads for lunches all done! Maybe a little carb heavy this week, but getting used to some new meds, so wanted to make sure I had enough carbs to hopefully keep my brain happy. Too much work to do this week to get loopy. #maketodaygreat😎🔥💪 #riseuplikethephoenix🔥🔥🔥 #setbacksaresetupsforcomebacks #positivityismycopingmechanism❤️ (at Fowler, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSXxQ4HQ6u/?igshid=wo3bp9nb8uiv

This past weekend was rough on our little family. We have a close family member very sick in ICU and my husband's birthday. When you someone you love is sick, it's hard to celebrate life. I made a birthday cake and special meals for him through the weekend as we prayed and hoped. That chocolate cake is so innocent but for me it's a big NO. I learned again the hard way that I can't eat this deliciousness anymore if I want to feel good. This health and fitness journey has really helped me recognize foods that make me sick more than they make me happy. I'm discovering how super sensitive I am to gluten and how hard it is on my body's digestion. Why do I try it again and again knowing how yucky it makes me feel? Habit and conditioning over many decades I'm sure plays a huge role as to why we all keep putting foods in our mouths that are not good for us. So here I am getting started on my 13th month and I am reminded by the scale, my digestion, and my memory that I am not done working on me. So I'm up and ready to jump into this month with focus and intention! 💪🏼 #glutensensitivity #naughtychocolatecake #healthyjourneycontinues #kelley4hopehealth #perserverance #nevergiveup #setbacksaresetupsforcomebacks #mevsfood #dontquitgetfit

On any OTHER given day I would have been SO frustrated by the fact that once upon a time I covered this distance in an hour or ran over 8 miles in this amount of time...but on THIS day...I'm so excited that today's run was better than yesterday's run. I cannot keep comparing myself to what used to be but accept that I had a setback...and coming back will take accepting where I am NOW and improving from this moment instead of constantly looking back. I was able to stay within my targeted zones today longer...runner faster than yesterday. Excited for what the future hold. #progress #running #triTraining #nycMarathonTraining #TheBestIsYetToCome #SetbacksAreSetupsForComebacks #fitness #fitspo #fitmomma #fitfluential #mizunorunning #milesChangeYou #garmin920xt #garmin
