Motivation Thursday

Hey NeverEver's!

I haven't really been here in a while. Been having a pretty hard 2 weeks. I thought I kicked it to the curb on Monday but my funk really didn't leave me. I have been low energy and low desire to do anything. Which isn't good at all.

So I went to my doctors. I am not used to having this little of energy. I mean I am used to being lazy but that feels differently then this. They ran some blood tests on me and other things that I am not exactly sure what. But they came to the decision that I am deficient in some vitamins. Like B-12. Which they believe is the reason why I have been feeling physically drained. Don't get me wrong I know I have some mental baggage weighing me down but I have never felt this tired all the time.  So I agreed to get 1 month of shots of the B-12 and see how I feel after.

The doc wanted me to get the pills but after reading online I decided that the shots would be the best method to get the vitamin straight to me. And yes I did read about all the wonderful things this vitamin can do and I will be giving a review on how I feel but I am mainly doing this to feel like I used to. Having energy.

So on that note, I wanted to share my Motivation!!

Seriously needed all of this. See you all on Sunday! Have a great weekend!!

Motivational Thursday - I Need It The Most

Hey NeverEver's

Welcome to Thursday on the short week. But, is it just me or does these short weeks always feel like they are super long. I hope it is just me as it is a unique kind of torture to feel like the week will never end.

However, before we get into the Motivational Thursday...which I really need today. Let me tell you why I need it.

I went to go see the doctor yesterday. About my foot pain that I have been having, especially in the mornings. Sometimes it hurts to walk on my whole foot so I have to use my toes. It is usually in the morning or if I sit down for too long. So seeing the doctor seemed like a really good idea.

Well they informed me that I have plantar fasciitis, which after many google searches I was thinking I had anyways. So I have been restricted from doing any type of running (more then a few steps). I was granted approval to walk the 5K's that I have already signed up for so that is something.

I will be going to see a specialist next week and see if I can...maybe...run the 3 miles that I need to do but it isn't looking good. I do have a set of foot exercises that I shall be doing tonight that is supposed to help stretch the feet out and help with the pain.

But...I am still restricted. I am not happy but I will push though it. The 5K's that I have coming up I will do them. So the 2 Virtual Runs (Be Our Guest and If The Shoe Fits) and the in life 5K's (Awesome 80's Run, Bubble Run and Turkey Trot) are ALL still on. My time might not be good but I shall do them.

This does mean more swimming (I SHALL do it), my rowing classes are still on but I am not sure about my boot camp. I will have to talk with them about modifications.

However, now it is time for some Motivation!!

Ok NeverEver's, it is time for me to be getting back to work, lunch hour is done ^_^, but wish me luck at the specialist!!

Motivational Thursday

Hey NeverEver's!


Welcome to Thursday! Woot and week is almost done and the weekend is almost here. Best day ever!!! No really I have been in a super happy mood all day today. Must be to the fact that I have been dancing in my seat at work listening to techno! Is it time for EDC again?

Anyways, I wanted to get this Motivational Thursday started! So without further ado...here is the Motivation!!

Okay NeverEver's, let this carry us onto the weekend. I do have to admit that I am taking it easy on the working out right now as my heel is just giving me so much pain...but I will have a doctors appt for that by the end of next week. I am still doing my run next Sat and I have a plan for the next 2 months. Which I will be showing on Sunday! 

So guys I will see you on Sunday. Have a good weekend!!! 

Motivational Thursday + A Recipe!

Hey NeverEver's!

Man did I sleep good last night! After I warmed up dinner (took me 10 minutes w/ Food Prep) and went for a walk. Well after that I basically passed out. Earliest I have ever been to bed, at least in a while, 9pm.

I do have to say it felt good. Didn't really workout last night...just slept. And you know what? I don't feel bad about it. Apparently my body needed rest and it...well it let me know. But that doesn't mean I didn't want to workout today.

And it mostly worked out. No treadmill at work. Went to lunch late because of some extra little things that came up (yay...) and by the time I got down there both treadmills where taken (grrr). So I just had some of my leftover salad and got lost in a good book. Which is why there are no pictures (oops) I really got sucked in!

But before we start with the...late...Motivational Thursday, let me show off my dinner and workout!

I remade my Chicken Enchiladas but I did make some changes. Here is the recipe!

• Chicken Breast cooked in water and then shredded. 
• Saute 1/2 an onion and 1 garlic
• Chili Verde (I used Archer Farm's from Target)
• Once the onion & garlic has been sauteed place the chicken and 1/2 of the chili verde in the pot and allow it to warm up. 
• While chicken is being sauced up (yup my word) the other half of the Chili Verde spread it on the wheat tortillas. 
• Heat up oven to 350*
• Get the chicken off the stove and scoop 1 spoon full on to the wheat tortilla. Add light American cheese and 1 spoonful of quinoa. Wrap up the tortilla and place it into an oven safe pan.
• Do the above step over until you have enough enchiladas to make you and yours happy. 
• Rub the last of the Chili Verde on the top of the enchiladas while sprinkling some of the shredded cheese. 
• Place into the oven for 10 minutes. 
• Take out of oven and top with some light sour cream and cilantro. 
• Serve to your family and bask in the compliments ^_~

But after that yummy dinner it was time to relax and then...it was time to sweat it out with Shaun T and Hip Hop Ab's! 

It was Day 11 of Hip hop Ab's and it was a sweaty one. Did Total Body Burn with my weights on the whole time! Although it was a sweat fest I didn't have to stop once. I was able to power through the whole 40+ minute thing! 

I also found out that sweat stings when it gets into your eyes! Seriously that stuff hurts and makes you cry...Oy. My muscles are feeling it but I am looking forward to tomorrow! Going to get Day 12 done Woot Woot! 

Now it is time to head to some Motivational Thursday (make sure I get to Day 12)

I really think that people need to remember this. A bad day doesn't mean a bad week. 

Time and commitment! 

Especially those non scale victories

Yes this is true!

I really like this quote

You can be an inspiration to yourself! 

Jiggle no more! JIGGLE NO MORE!!!

Okay NeverEver's, it is time for me to call it a night! I will see you all tomorrow for my breakfast, lunch run and evening workout ^_~. Have a great Friday!!

Motivational Thursday - Independence Day Version

Hey NeverEver's!

Its Thursday and Its Independence Day! Yes I like saying Independence Day instead of July 4th. I am old fashioned ^_~

However, today is special because I have put together an Independence Day Motivational Thursday!!

This one just seemed awesome!! 

This is what I am going to be doing for the PotLuck that I am going to later today!

If I can find some stars I am doing this one as well ^_~

Yes. I never regretted taking that jog!

This works for us Night Owls too! 

Don't forget while your eating some BBQ add some fruit to that plate!

Motivational Thursday

Hey NeverEver's!

Only one more day until the weekend is officially here!! Yay! It has been a pretty busy day and after writing this I am headed out for a night walk. The weather is just perfect for it. And it will be my last 'official' workout this weekend. Lots of dancing and walking this weekend but no official workout. All about EDC ^_^.

But tonight it is all about Motivational Thursday!

\

Well if I didn't want to walk before this I really want to do it now! So have a good weekend you all! I will be  back on Monday!! 

Motivational Thursday

Hey NeverEver's!

Been a while since my last Motivational Thursday!! But I am happy its back, especially today as I just finished my root canal and my mouth is hurting! Oy!

I can't move my left side lol...but it still hurts! So without me even planning it today has become my rest day and not Sunday.

Anyways, on to the Motivation!!

And Determined Men...But I might be a little biased ^_~

I have learned this is true...thank you Hip Hop Ab's!

Because keeping that thing pumping is what its all about!

So I hope this help us going into the weekend! I am going to be popping a pain killer and try to eat some dinner!
