Let’s Catch Up

Hi and happy Wednesday. I hope this week is going well and that you’re all getting geared up for the long weekend. I wanted to write a general checking in post today to kind of let you know where I’m at and what’s going on with me at the moment. I feel like the blog has been a lot of business lately with lots of workout, recipe and food posts. Here’s a little life post for you.

From a holistic view, things are good. I’m in one of those flows right now where career opportunities overfloweth. I’ve received countless training inquires over the last few weeks and I have quite a few writing projects in the works.

One of those being a proposal for another book…help me! It’s due this week. I’m grateful that I’ve already got one successful proposal under my belt so I hope the process will be a little easier this time around. I shot a few sample shots with my photographer yesterday for the proposal. We’ll see what happens with it. I’m going to be glued to the computer for the next 48 hours! 5.21charlottemag.jpg While we’re talking career stuff, I was totally shocked to learn that I received a “Best of the Best Award” from Charlotte Magazine. What an honor to be recognized in this amazing community of health and fitness professionals! I seriously had no clue until the magazine published and I started receiving congratulatory messages. Crazy!

I totally need this tank in my life. I am sitting here totally sore from the pistols and back squats that we did in Monday’s WOD and I managed to include peanut butter in yesterday’s breakfast AND dinner! 🙂

I started watching the new series Black Box after it replaced Scandal when the season ended (tear). It’s tough for a TV show to get my attention but I’m actually really loving this one. House was one of my favorite shows of all time and while it’s not up to House standards, it is pretty good.

I’ve talked in the past about my night sweats. I’ve had them since I was a teenager. While I still have them on the regular, they haven’t been too bad for the past couple of weeks.My dreams, however, have been intensely vivid for the last few days. Like I wake up remembering them and feeling unsettled vivid. I really need to keep a journal of my sleep/dreams/sweat. I am sure I would see some sort of pattern.

And I have to leave you with the face that makes me smile every day. I hope it makes you smile too!

What do you have planned for Memorial Day Weekend? 

Do you remember your dreams?
