A Dollop of Positivity

I’m tired, but I’m finally back. What are you listening to? Watching?

Don’t think of it as you have to, rather believe that you get to and you might find yourself enjoying something that is less favorable more!

Like how everyone who knows me at work knows I love OrangeTheory, they now know I love Taylor Swift. And it’s ok.

It’s ok to take long recovery periods to let your mind and body rest, but be sure you get back into your routine! If you haven’t started, it’s never too late!

All that can go wrong on a Monday did, but it could have been worse.

How strong are your trapezius muscles?

Are you going to buy another planner?

Well I’m sitting by the Saugatuck River. I’m in my car because I don’t feel like shopping and I was the chauffeur. So I’m just enjoying the scent of my new fragrance L’eau d’Issey. And I’ll read one of my 1000 books now.

Another episode of driving and chatting. Excuse the clicking and clacking. Don’t you always play music while driving?

It’s ok to take a break, but don’t stay out of the game. Get back in when you’re ready and take it slowly.

Yup

Way better than I expected!

I just can’t. Not even a friendly kind. The struggle is real. Take a listen.

I’m back rambling about workouts and sneakers.

Do you have any? Small steps lead to changes, too. Let’s head about them.

Sorry my voice is gone, but took advantage of the Halloween $13.13 pricing and it was fantastic being the only one in the theater! Loved it the 2’d time around.

Let those feelings erupt. You’ll feel better after whether it’s sadness or happiness.

Today was my best 5K. Not my best time - I’m not sure if I will ever finish in 34 min again (I was 9 years younger), but 37:54 is my third best time in the 9 years of 5K’s.

Sigh

Got a system?

So good. Also discovered new favorite songs. Don’t worry, if you sit next to me no don’t know the lyrics.

Love the rower and love the benchmarks. What are your workout challenges?

Those water bottles and coffee mugs get nasty! Soak and clean more often than you have been!

I previewed this and am tickled by how much I have to say and my train of thoughts that early in the morning. Warning: it’s long and random.

I’m sorta back.

You in for the challenge?

I’m not in my recording studio, but I am using my Beats earbuds. How do I sound? Monday motivation thrown at you.

What are your October goals?

I don’t know if I dislike driving in rain more or snow, but I’ve come a long way from driving in the snowstorm with bald tires to almost hydroplaning. Fun times!

I went through an emotional roller coaster this week. Bottom line, get a second opinion when possible. Don’t rush into procedures.

What should I add to my jar of overnight oats in the morning? Currently it has 1 cup of oats and some oat beverage (I guess we’re not supposed to call it oat milk). Help!

Then move forward! Send me some of your positivity! Thanks!

PopUp Bagels review.

Hurts so good. Agree?

Today was a long day, but I took some time to reflect and be grateful.

You got this!

I had car trouble this morning but I made it through the day!

Apple picking is our annual date now…he likes Macoun apples. I like the cider and cider donuts. Win-win. Also get excited about the new podcast I’m co-hosting! Launching soon! Follow now so you’ll know when we launch: Cat and Ryan’s Look Back, Move Forward: https://open.spotify.com/show/5s0OV0TgBcMDFAutapWI2k. Thanks for your support!

Woohoo. She’s amazing and still tough as nails!

I survived my stretch of work! For workouts I dabble on my Covid recovery this time vs. last and my new focus on strength building.

Cicadas wow I thought my watch ticking was loud!

Can you guess how many before I tell you? It makes a great punishment for someone who can’t stand that sound.

Ack - I need to actually use my roller! Learn some new stretches. And go easier on the knees. Take rest days. Do you have tips?

I didn’t get invited to a concert. Life goes on! Hope you had a fabulous Friday!

Thank you to my wonderful listeners! You rock!

Do you wordle? What’s your starting word?

So many online options, and the final price ends up being similar (with processing fees and shipping added) across the board. I ended up with glassesusa.com

I have a drinking problem; I don’t drink enough liquids. I should be drinking 120 ounces of water a day, but I dislike plain water. Here are my favorite brands of drinks and teas! Hope this helps you find your favorites.

What is your favorite dessert? I’ll eat anything chocolate. 🍫 Also my one-liners about Bubly’s Key Lime Pie seltzer and Lesser Evil’s Pumpkin Spice popcorn. Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any restaurants or products mentioned in this episode.
