Relentless Wellness

This may not look like much, but for me today this is everything. It’s been over 6 months since I did any sort of strength training workout for myself. Between my surgery in December, healing, and then starting chemo mid-February, I have had zero energy or ability to do this for myself. Now a week post chemotherapy my energy is finally coming back. Today felt like the right day to begin again. So I hopped onto the E-Gym circuit at after my shift, and did one go round. By the end I was done, muscles shaking like Jell-o. I listened to my body and left it at that for today, but it was amazing. For 25 minutes, I felt like me again.

Here’s to practicing what I preach, to new beginnings and getting back to basics 🩷

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️ Is it a commercial holiday? Sure. But should we celebrate LOVE at all costs? Big YES❣️Love for your partner, your family, your chosen family, your friends… most importantly the love you hold for yourself ❤️🩷❤️

What does wellness mean to you?

I may not be able to lift right now (still recovering from surgery) but and I can still pose it out for a silly photo with buff Santa & Mrs. Claus 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄

We did it! 8km under our belts 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

There was a moment on Friday, feeling totally under the weather that I thought race day might not happen, but I rested for two full days, and yesterday we set off at 8:15am for our 8km run! My body hurts more today than it did through the entirety of training from May until now, maybe I pushed the limits a bit, but I wasn’t about to let myself down by not being there, even if I had had to walk the whole way. At the end of the day, I RAN the entire damned thing in 62 minutes.

Thank you for knowing I needed a challenge to take on, because I always need a goal to work towards. Thanks for being one of my very favourite people, and the best “little” brother a girl could ask for. Thanks for being Thing 2 to my Thing 1 (and for the fun shirt suggestion) ❤️

To the friends and family who supported, sent messages of encouragement, who came down to the race, hugs to you all 🥰

And to my biggest champion of all, my husband and “coach”, the ultramarathoner himself I will never love running as much as you do, but I do love you 💋

Everything Bagel seasoning has so many uses: sprinkle it on eggs, avocado toast, smoked salmon! Want another delicious option? I created this high protein, gluten free everything bagel breakfast bread. A great base for poached eggs, or just eating a slice on its own! Bonus: I slice it, then freeze, and reheat by the slice in the toaster for a beautiful warm, crisp bite!
