Hi there 🙂 I’m all snuggled up in blanket, with Mosby laying next to me and ready to call it a night, but trying to get one more blog post done before the week starts. Life feels like it’s getting back to normal and back to a routine (which I love 😍). I shot two recipes last weekend and can’t wait to share them with ya’ll just in time for THANKSGIVING!
Knowing I will be stuffing my face for 2 days straight (no I don’t restrict myself or hold back), I’m trying to eat clean and have consistent workouts, even with a busy schedule the next couple weeks. With parties and crazy schedules, finding time to workout can be tough. Just remember 30 minutes is all you need!
It’s getting cold here in Iowa, so walks are becoming less frequent and snuggling up on the couch sounds really appealing. But as somebody who has been affected by seasonal depression, working out is one of my outlet to socializing, getting out of the house and staying sane. It’s one of the most important factors in fighting the winter blues.
