How many of these September spotlight foods have YOU had?
Any faves?
Yay football! Go Patriots go! 🏈
(And people, wear white after Labor Day if you freakin’ wanna! #lifeisshort 😉)
… and so that’s what she did! 🏃♀️
I slept in a bit so instead of my usual “run before the sun”, I was running WITH the sun, but since temps are finally not stifling, it wasn’t too bad!
3 miles in the books, less tan 50 to go before I reach the 175 mile goal!
Love this weather! Who else is catching some mileage today?
Great weather (at least at the hour I was out there!) for some running… continuing the quest towards 175 miles!
It was 60° out when I ran, which is pretty cool after the summer of humidity we have had – I am personally looking forward to Fall for running purposes. The summer temps coupled with humidity are not very kind to a runner!
Racked up 4.2 miles today, clocking the first at 8:56 and the last at 6:27 – this splits stuff is pretty awesome and definitely shows me I usually finish stronger than I start!
It was also nice to be able to breathe while running
What’s YOUR Saturday sweat?
We fell back, which means we got an extra hour of sleep, but it means it gets darker much, much earlier…
Many of us are summer children, unprepared for the cold test of patience that is winter. So while we celebrate the seasons, we also grieve the daylight; the sunlight.
This grief lives in your lungs. If your lungs are healthy, you might just feel a passing sense of sadness, a little pang of melancholy when the last leaf falls from the tree outside your window. But if you are already holding grief in your lungs, perhaps due to a bad breakup, the loss of a job, or bereavement, Fall can bring these greater pains to the surface. Sometimes this manifests as chronic physical symptoms like bronchitis and frequent colds, and other times it shows itself as anxiety and depression. The waning daylight can also trigger Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in some people (that’d be me!)
Good nutrition, exercise, and herbs can help but what’s really needed in the case of deeply held grief is counseling or other therapies that will bring release for these stuck emotions.
Reach out, don’t be afraid to talk about it or seek treatment – there is no shame in seeking treatment so you can be as happy as healthy as you are able. I have been getting acupuncture, and it has been very helpful – have you tried?
How do YOU cope with less daylight?
Who’s sweating with me today? Come on guys, just because the temps have dropped doesn’t mean your health and fitness no longer matters – summer bodies are MADE in the cooler months!
Go get it!
Fall brings some of the best candle scents with it, if you ask me!
What’s YOUR favorite fall scent/candle?
Mmmmm, yum! This makes about 4 servings, each about 43 calories, 7.3g of carbs, 1.5g of Fiber… a great snack you can store in the refrigerator (in a sealed container) for next time!
What would you pair this with? I might pair it with some celery or an apple, but you might just find me eating this on it’s own… 🙂
