Apple smoothie - based off the last smoothie post recipe!
I chopped a small apple, added half a cup of skim, one tbsp. of maple almond butter, cinnamon, and ice. Blended and served - so good!

Ch-ch-changes!
Sometimes, changes aren’t visual but rather being able to do something now that we weren’t able to in the past.
Like pushups, for example.
When I started working with Ron-the-trainer, I could barely do A pushup. He never had me revert to modified pushups (aka “girl pushups”), he’s always told me to just do what I can.
In the rotation today I was able to do 5 sets of 10 pushups. And what’s more? I didn’t even THINK TWICE about it. I just did them and then realized what I had done later!
Also? I conquered the tire jump! Today’s session was much more kind on my spirit.
Hope Tuesday (which is presenting itself as a Monday) is treating you all well!

Always striving to hit my personal best. It's not a competition with anyone but myself.
I've been working out for the past five years, some times more than others. I'm more of a newb than not when it comes to running so I'm figuring out a lot of stuff as I go (with a little help from my friends).
This is my fitspo tumblr where I put things that inspire me and perhaps others who are looking to be inspired.
My pretty pictures tumblr is whatwereoncestars. If I follow you, it will probably say that name rather than this one but trust, I'm the same girl.
Any questions - just ask. I'm not shy.
