Worry Free, Healthy Me

So I woke up Monday morning with awful back pain. I think I pulled a few muscles putting the tree away. I had to lean at really awkward angles to take the tree apart plus it's very heavy. So I decided it would be best to rest and not irritate my back. I focused on doing school and didn't go running or do weights. Tuesday my back felt great again so I decided to go for a run. That probably wasn't a good idea because my back was aching again that night.  The view was amazing though. Wednesday Jake and I decided to book a cruise!!!!! My parents will also be coming with us. It is for seven days and we will be going to Mexico! I'm so excited to have margaritas on the beach again.   Thursday my back still wasn't feeling great so I focused on school. Lando decided to keep me company. Jake is swapping to a different shift so Friday I moved my school stuff to the guest bedroom so I wouldn't wake him up during the

So here I am drinking some coffee and trying to catch up on my recap posts. I'm trying to catch up on school but I still want to be doing these posts so I can look back and remember this year.  Last week (week of 17 January 2017) was a pretty good week. I've been keeping up with my running, my workouts, and I got all the Christmas decorations down and decorated the house for Valentine's Day! Tuesday I decided to go for a run. Although I have Amazon Prime Music, I still love running to Spotify's running playlists because it detects your steps per minute and gives you great music that matches your pace. My favorite palm tree in the neighborhood is so magnificently tall. You can't really tell in this picture how tall it is though. After the run Lando wanted to go outside with me on the front porch while I had my protein shake. Later that night I decided to take down the upstairs Christmas tree. Lando wasn't having it. He

Well I started this recap post a while ago but never actually finished it. So while I'm sitting here sipping on some water I'm finishing up this post from the week of 9 January 2017. Monday, Jake and I went running. We haven't been running in what seems like forever so it was a bit tough. Part way through we wanted to quit but we stuck with it. The trail that we went on was beautiful. That night I made some homemade minestrone soup. Super healthy and nutritious! Somehow the recipe made double the amount it said it was going to so I had soup for the rest of the week. Tuesday I spent most of my time trying to catch up on schoolwork. I went over the reproduction systems in detail. It's not too exciting... but it'll be worth it in the end. I kept getting distracted and found myself looking stuff up on line. Somehow I wound up on Bisbee's website and made a date for Jake and I.  Wednesday I was so tired in
