Vent Sesh

Not gonna lie, feeling a little down today. As I mentioned in a few posts, I've started working out again and I am really loving it. But I have to admit, there are days when I feel like absolute crap and I push myself to get through even the simplest moves. Today was definitely one of those days.


I've been an athlete since I was 7 years old. I played competitive soccer for 9 years, and always ran on my days off from practice. In high school I ran upwards of 5 miles a day, everyday, starting my sophomore year after I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Exercising, conditioning, and being mentally focused is not something that is new to me, so on days like today I get frustrated! Why is it taking me so long to get back into the groove of things?!?! I really wish I would have kept with running during college, but alas, I was too fascinated with living in LA and working in the industry to actually do it. I guess there is no time like today to change, but man can it be hard.


One of my inspirations, Mrs. P at Alis Grave Nil (you all may know her as Heather, but she was my English teacher in high school so to me she will always be Mrs. P) wrote me on Twitter and said, "A crappy workout is better than no work out!" I loved these words and I literally keep telling myself that over and over, especially on days like today. Side note: Mrs. P is running her first half-marathon this weekend! She is 100% awesome! Head over to Alis Grave Nil and show some love!

Ok, sorry for the vent sesh, just needed to get this out. Hopefully I can read this post again in the months to come to see how far I've advanced in my journey.

Oh, one last thing, promise! I was chatting with Maegan at A Little Twig Birdhouse last week about our love for HomeGoods and since we live in the same area she gave me a great recommendation for one near us that I had never been to. So Saturday afternoon I ran over there and I was in complete heaven. I bought tons of things for a total of $69.30! Here are a few of my fave things that I picked up!

Have a good night loves :)
