Screaming Deaf

Some running yesterday and this picture just kind of happened and I'm in love with it. You know the moment when you get your phone out and the camera is on selfie instead of facing out? Well, this time it was fabulous. #oops #selfie #beauty #nofilter #momswhorun #motherrunner #run #running #buffrunner #runninglife #runnerlife #runkc #runkansascity #runmamarun #runnerbaby #runlife #runselfierepeat #badassladygang https://www.instagram.com/p/Bod8yYngX2y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1omes28r9rwof

#tbt to the day before my water broke. June 5, 2018 Don't let anyone tell you that you cannot do something that you are passionate about. Do not let anyone dull your passion. Do not let anyone tell you that you are not good enough, strong enough, fit enough, or enough or even too much. Keep on keeping on with your badass self and show those people how to shove their heads up their arse where it clearly belongs. This was literally the night before my water broke. I was squatting over 200lb, overhead squats with about 65lb I believe, maybe 75lb. I was lifting heavy and strong at 39w6d and my water broke the next morning on my due date. Baby girl took almost 72 hours to arrive, but we made it 12 wks 5 days later here we are healthy and happy and loathing the idea of going back to work. I had so many people question my activity level, walking, running, lifting, and the intensity at which I did these things. But my body was already used to this prior and my doc was aware of my activities and said as long as I didn't hurt or have issues and listened to my body I could keep it up. I had to stop running at 24 weeks because it didn't feel good anymore and had to pee nonstop. Was embarrassing and humbling but I learned to love power walks and walking hills for hill repeats. I kept it up and in the end my pregnancy was probably the best it could have been because I remained healthy and active. But I refused to let anyone but my body and my doctor dictate what I could and couldn't do. I remember family freaking out as I helped load a car after first baby shower (I think i was about 30 wks) and I was lifting light items, like a high chair, they freaked and I'm like....I can deadlift YOU stop freaking out, it isn't 1960. I can do physical work 🤦🏼‍♀️ Anywho...keep on doing your thing my dears and do not let anyone tell you anything negative about you because it isn't true. #throwbackthursday #tbt #pregnancy #fitpregnancy #fitmomma #baby #newborn #newbornthings #babythings #babylove #infant #helloworld #welcometotheworld #postpartum #csection #birth #pregnancy #newlife #parent #newparents #momlife #dadlife #parentlife #instababy #instaparents #reallife #this https://www.instagram.com/p/BnZFuhZFsY3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17n4ow4jsto2g

She is not amused by the FOMO hat.

Ingredients list for those who would like to see what is in these. I am now tempted to make my own version of this that doesn't taste like 💩

Possibly an unpopular opinion. I've tried the double pb ones, I also tried some when they first came out. Picked these up Friday because I hear good things and I love me some peanut butter. However, i find the flavor of these to be weird. The pb coating has a weird after taste and just funky overall. Chemically is i think what would best describe it. Maybe because I'm used to peanut butter that is salt and peanuts and maybe some oil depending on the brand I choose. I've gotten used to a natural ingredient peanut butter that the big brands just taste weird and fake anymore. Just not my jam. I'll probably suffer through these or take them to run group and pawn them off on hungry runners. 2/10 personally #realpbwinseverytime #toomanypreservatives #toomanyadditives #yuck #chemicalshitstorm

This mama is tired. It's been a long 2 days. We are ready to meet our little girl. We are heading in the right direction now and having an epidural now makes this way more tolerable. #pregnancy #preggo #pregnant

Simple but I'm loving it. Excited to do the other pieces for the nursery. #nursery #babyroom #babythings

Hat on, windows down, 69 degrees and overcast. Let's go home! Repping my home state. #kansasgirl #sunflowerchild #prairiechild #midwesterntgroughandthrough

Feeling good today. Pulled a PR deadlift of 265. Yeah!!! It was tough, but in a good way. Grow muscles grow!! #womenwholift

Felt really good in my own skin today. One day at a time. #goaldriven #goaldigger

We are Rugged Maniacs! My friend Mike joined me for RM OCR this year, bless him. He made it, tired, but made it. I made it with a battle wound. Honestly, hurt like crazy when I knocked my shin against the floating plastic box. Didn't realize till later it was actually cut. It's gonna be a pretty purple tomorrow. You can see the goose egg on it now. Wowzer! Better than a twisted ankle or broken bone 😉 #OCR #RuggedManiacKC #RuggedManiac
