December 1, 2020. 🙃☕️ I’m excited, I’m tired, I’m confused, I’m hopeful, and most of all, I’m reflecting back on the last few weeks and am in awe.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I have a long list of goals in my online businesses, so I try to focus my energy on one thing at time to really see where each direction can go. But, like a lot of you, I do many different things and it’s hard to really do everything to its full potential when you want to do 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘭𝘭𝘭 the things.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Blogging, creating content, and freelance writing will always be a passion of mine. It’s something I don’t see myself moving on from for a while, and it makes my heart smile any time I get a message from a reader just checking in to tell me they enjoy it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I really miss training and teaching fitness, especially in person! This is something I’m looking forward to focusing on more in 2021 as we all navigate through this unforeseen season of quarantines that have had us homebound.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I decided to put a lot of my time and efforts into my Beautycounter business in October and November. It’s actually one of my favorite parts of being in the health & fitness industry because it’s rewarding in many different ways. Conversations about the importance of clean beauty and what we’re using on our bodies with easy solutions in high-performing, safe and amazing products has quickly taken over my inboxes, and I’m here for it. I honestly never thought I would want to dedicate so much of my time to it, but it really doesn’t feel like work at all! I love, love talking with clients about what they need and seeing how their skin improves. And, I am truly enjoying mentoring my team to develop leaders alongside me and grow together. This has all happened unexpectedly and as a pleasant surprise!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There are a lot of not-so-great things about 2020, but there have been a lot of great things to note, too, with the latest being a double promotion in the last two months, bringing me to Director — something that I wasn’t sure I would reach when I first started the journey, as only 1.9% of consultants do.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m sharing this with you because I think we need to celebrate the goals ... [cont’d in comments]

𝐎𝐡, 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬! 👋🏼👟⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The last time I went out for a run was a few months ago, thanks to some kind of injury and a lot of discomfort with my right foot. I took more rest days than normal this month, more than a week away from the gym, and I cut running out of my routine completely! It was weird, actually, since movement is key for my overall happiness and I’ve been enjoying the sport or running for mental and physical benefits since high school.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Well, after a week of being away from home, I felt plenty rested and was ready to give it a go. I set out for my favorite running loop and completed 4 miles way easier than I expected to. I think my body was telling me that I needed to take a minute, and I listened. Then it rewarded me with a full recovery.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Sometimes — not always — the answer could be taking a step away to rest, reassess, and start again without any preset expectations. I wasn’t sure where today would take me, but I’m so grateful for how it turned out ... and I have a newfound appreciation for what my body can do.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Also, just another reminder that these little humans are always watching ... as soon as I took a photo before this, Skyler hopped in this one and a few others and started stretching with me.⁣⁣
⁣⁣

What is something you’ve taken a break from that you are excited to get back to when you’re ready?

⁣
We made it back to Brooklyn this morning and have taken the day to unpack, rest, and reintroduce ourselves to vegetables after a week of being on the road!⁣
⁣
There are a lot of things that feel different about this year, but one thing that remains the same is my love for these turkeys and each and every one of you who supports us. ⁣
⁣
Following this page, reading my blog, engaging on posts and on other LIL social pages, pinning workouts and recipes, and shopping clean beauty with me enables me pursue my passions while being able to stay (and work) at home with Skyler. This is something I’ve always dreamt about since I can remember, and I do not take it for granted.⁣
⁣
I want to personally thank you for being here and following the journey — through the sunshine, the storms, and everything in between. Wishing you a happy and safe holiday season ahead. ⁣

Packing up our time at the farm and heading out for a long drive home. Feeling sad to say goodbye to family, but leaving with a full heart and full bellies.

Happy Thanksgiving week, my friends. And whatever you decide to do, or don’t do, be safe out there! 🍁🤍🍂

After two full days of driving, we made it to the farm for some quality time with Scott’s family.

No Friday Favorites post on the blog today, but you can catch up on what we’re up to in stories and on Life In Leggings Facebook Pages.

I don’t always plan a time to unplug, but it’s feeling like one of those times and I always come back refreshed with new and fun content to share.

Thanks for all of your support around here! I’ll be sharing tidbits here and there but will be focusing on family time first and foremost for the next week.

Catch ya soon! ✌🏼 #nonetflixjustchill #camoandoveralls

I’m not always a last-minute packer but I’ve been notorious for it over the past few years. Maybe it’s because I added a baby (now toddler) into the mix and I try to cram in every other possible thing before I go? ⁣
⁣
Like projects, blog posts, and emails? And hey, I should probably do every piece of laundry, deep clean the refrigerator and organize our coat closet, too. Don’t forget a workout, followed by “one of those” showers where I wash my hair, shave, do my eyebrows, and make sure my nail polish is good.⁣
⁣
Is this normal behavior? I’d love to hear some of the tasks you randomly give yourself before leaving for a trip.⁣
⁣
Well, I’m going to get back to all of that and start actually start packing. Here’s to getting to bed before the wee hours! 🧳🙃 #lifeinleggingsquotes

⁣
Weekend workouts are always come-and-go for me. No two weeks are ever the same, unless I’m training for something specific like a race or physical event. ⁣
⁣
I will typically rest on Sundays, but go for a long run on Saturdays. But sometimes I skip that if it was a workout-heavy week for me, or turn to a low-impact strength circuit if I’m feeling one.⁣
⁣
I guess I’m all over the place these days, but hey, we’re all just doing our best! I like to have a plan, but I also like to go off of intuitions ... for meals and exercise. 🍎🍦🚴🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
Listening to our bodies to know when to push and when to pull back is so important!⁣
⁣
Swipe to see today’s Compound Strength & Stability Workout, and peep my stories some of the exercise breakdowns. ⁣

And I’d love to know ... what does your weekend activity usually look like? 🧘🏼‍♀️ #lifeinleggingsworkouts

I started watching 𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘖𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥 with @thehomeedit on Netflix last week and binged all nine episodes in just a few days. It’s so fascinating to me! ⁣
⁣
(And in my defense, I would be organizing in the background … so it was time well spent if you ask me.)⁣
⁣
One of the best tips I’ve gotten from watching the show is to organize anything from pens and products to books and toys by the rainbow. Start with Red on the left, and go through all of ROYGBIV followed by brown, black, grey, and white.⁣

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍
⁣
I think it’s beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, especially for kids books and anything in a line! I’m fully in on this trend and even got into a black hole of organizing my phone’s home screen this way, too.⁣

For me, it’s taking a spin with indoor cycling. I’ve just never been a huge fan of spinning, especially for a full hour class! It’s the opposite of comfortable for me. I’ve taken a dozen or so @soulcycle @flywheelsports and @cycfitness classes, and I enjoyed them, but I will always be the girl who chooses running or almost any other form of cardio before jumping on a bike for more than twenty minutes at a time.⁣
⁣
But that’s the thing ... sometimes all you need is 20 minutes! It’s certainly better than nothing, and has become my sweet (and sweaty) spot of how I like to finish good strength workout at the gym.⁣
⁣
I used to choose sprints on the treadmill, but I’m recovering from some sort of foot injury and I’m not hating the bike. I’m not exactly sure what I did, but it functions pretty good for most daily activities ... but definitely not fit for running. I’ll see someone eventually for it if it gets worse and not better!⁣
⁣
Anyways, my point in sharing this story with you is to chat about doing things outside of our comfort zones. Even if it’s something as small as choosing a type of equipment that you don’t necessarily like, it’s a big deal because you chose a route that challenges you.⁣
⁣
I’d love to know about one uncomfortable decision that ended up surprising you recently.⁣

We had nachos for lunch today, but they were loaded with tons of vegetables thanks to a new recipe I randomly created last night. It was a huge win with everyone and will be repeated did sure!⁣
⁣
This dish is light and loaded with vegetables, yet filling enough to substitute for your next Taco Tuesday. It’s not your typical cabbage casserole, is low/carb and packed with nutritious foods, and is extremely easy, flavorful and cheesy. 🍅🥬✨⁣

#𝗪𝐀𝐇𝐌𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄: Sometimes it feels like you’re nailing it, and other times lying on the floor next to a “stunt fall landing pad area” with stains on your outfit (most likely athleisure), cold coffee, a toddler on your back, and a dog by your side is how you get work done.⁣

𝘈𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦? 🙋🏻💻☕⁣
⁣
There are a lot of messy and uncomfortable experiences about 2020, but one thing that I am not going to take for granted during this time is togetherness. ⁣
⁣
Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely moments where I feel like we might be a little toooo close in our apartment space, but for the most part, I am looking at this extended period of time that we are able to spend together as a family as a gift.⁣
⁣
In the real world, Scott is traveling a lot … sometimes more than he is home. He’s also working weird hours of the day that includes a lot of nights and weekends. As much as we can annoy each other by both being home all the time (and it’s been almost 35 weeks since this weird period of quarantine started?!), a lot has happened that we would have never gotten to experience pre-COVID.⁣
⁣
I want to send a little mid-week encouragement to you … just in case you’re having one of those days, weeks, or months where you feel like this position on the floor is the only way you’re surviving. 🤪⁣
⁣
I see you, I feel you, and I applaud you.⁣
