\"Penny<\/a>I want to get back the core of what started this blog; food and exercise. \u00a0Showing how living a healthy lifestyle can be fun and fulfilling while not depriving yourself of good food. \u00a0I do not\u00a0believe in being restrictive when it comes to life and food.<\/p>\n

When I started this blog I shared my journey becoming a distance runner and I also shared our journey changing our eating habits and becoming more healthy.\u00a0\u00a0After a while I moved away from that and focused more on recipes and kitchen tips.<\/p>\n

While that is still important to me and I’ll still be sharing recipes and kitchen strategies, I’ve realized that I need to go back to my roots.<\/p>\n

We’ve come full circle.<\/p>\n

I’m starting and learning how to be a distance runner again. \u00a0Starting from square one and learning how to run in the mountains. \u00a0We’re also back to changing our eating habits for the better.<\/p>\n

I’ve struggled with both of these things for the 2+ years that we’ve been living here. Getting back into a routine but also finding the motivation to do so. \u00a0I used to read blogs to help with motivation but I struggle with finding blogs that focus on realistic healthy living (food and exercise) and that are also written well.<\/p>\n

I tried having accountability partners and I’ve tried joining groups but none of that worked for me.<\/p>\n

What works for me is seeing someone else’s journey and being able to relate to them in some way. \u00a0Since I can’t find that, then I need to be that. \u00a0And that’s what this blog is going to get back to. \u00a0A space used to show off life and a journey back to being active and eating well.<\/p>\n

Fridays are going to be about fitness and what I did that week to move and be active.<\/p>\n

I would love to share great stories with you from this week but I didn’t do anything. \u00a0That doesn’t mean that I was sitting on the couch all day every day. \u00a0I’ve got two dogs and they need to get out for walks and exercise. \u00a0Scott and I scouted some new trails\u00a0but we’re still looking for one that’s perfect.<\/p>\n

For the first half of the week I was recovering from a cold so\u00a0sleeping was way more appealing than running. \u00a0Walking the dogs and playing with them outside was about as much as I could muster. \u00a0I’m ready to get back at it this coming week!<\/p>\n

I’m all about being realistic. \u00a0Not working out happens. \u00a0I’m not perfect and\u00a0I’m OK with that. \u00a0It’s a process and I’m learning all over again.<\/p>\n

Goals for this week are to get out and get running in the morning and maybe getting some cross training in. \u00a0How did your week go?<\/strong><\/p>\n
