I'm so excited :)

and I just can't hide it!!  My daughter comes home tomorrow after being gone for almost 6 weeks!  I'm ready to road trip up to STL to pick her up tomorrow- I can't wait!


It's been a few long, hot days in Missouri.  The gym feels like a sauna, even at 5:30am!  (it's definitely a detoxifying experience- LOL!)  I am super proud of all of my clients that are pushing it and giving it their all despite the high temperatures and high humidity!  You guys are amazing!!  The determination of the clients that I'm working with right now is really strong- it's not always that way, and I thank you guys for your hard work and effort!  I know that you have some tough goals that you're striving for, and I have no doubt that you will reach them if you keep up the hard work & the improvements to your nutrition!


Here is a pic of my puppies- Lola is a pug, and Ray is a mix that we adopted from Petsmart last summer!  They are my babies, and they curled up together to avoid going out into the heat!

FAITH:

Today I am thankful for my family & friends!  You help me keep my sanity over the summer as I'm missing my kiddo!  And you have been there for Pat, myself, and E as we've faced some tough times the past few months- thanks for all of your love & support, and keep on praying for R & his recovery process!  

FAMILY:

We weren't able to see R again last night, so I'm a little bummed about that...  but I continue to pray for the entire situation.  I am super excited to see my baby tomorrow :)

Last night we were able to spend some time with some great friends, and the guys all grew up together!  It's always fun to get them together and hear all of their crazy stories from back in the day!  Despite all of their crazy past lives, (HAHA!) they have all grown into these amazing guys (with amazing wives :) !!)  

So, Josh & Katie- thanks for having us over!  And Chris & Vaiata- great spending time with you guys!

FITNESS:

I've been talking to several of my girlfriends about their fitness routines.  I like to get new perspectives on health & wellness.  While everyone has a totally different approach, they are all doing what works for them & their lifestyle!  I realize that everyone needs to find the routine that works for them, and that is do-able int their everyday life!

This was my breakfast today-

Eggs, Avocado, & Sweet Potato :)

And tonight it's salmon & acorn squash- here is the squash fresh from the oven!

Have a great night!  Time for dinner :)
