Made for More - RISE Movie

Boy, I dislike staying up late -- even for something terrific.  I've become THAT person.  Home and jammies by 8 o'clock 7 o'clock and I'm a happy camper.  Unless I'm already out and oblivious to the actual time, it's painful to wait around to leave the house.

BUT, it was really good!  I think I officially have a girl crush. Rachel Hollis -- entertaining, funny, motivating, real.  I'm so excited to see her live in June.

I still can't figure out why I don't like her book: Girl Wash Your Face.  I'm going to read it again before the conference with my girl crush eyes and see if that changes anything.  She has a new book out in March too.

She's an odd bird in the best way - someone you'd want to be friends with and know in real life.  I'm thankful Darcie encouraged me to "see" her beyond the book.

Let's talk boxing.

I decided to go 2 days in a row for boxing because of the instructor schedule (avoiding my injury guy) and my dentist appointment this morning.  Guess what the Universe decided??

It was THE instructor and his constant right leg kicks and I was the ONLY one there!  Thanks a lot, Universe.  After the warm-up, another lady came - super fit, pretty and totally took attention off me - yea.  We ended up hitting pads in the sparring ring.  It was fun, but not what I was looking for and I was super annoyed.

But then ...

I eye-spied an elliptical machine in the corner.  I used it for 12 minutes during the core part of the workout and my leg felt the same (no pain using it at all).  Oh, cardio how I missed you my sweet friend!!  Bam!  Going to use it at the boxing gym until I can run again.

I'm issuing a heartfelt apology to the Universe for being pissy -- turns out you were working for me all along.  I never would have found the elliptical if not for the "special" class today.  Love, ME.

Today, I'm doing a quick elliptical workout before the dentist.  Tomorrow the morning is too tight and so I'll go for it again today.  I have a Trader Joe's run so I can get at the cook-up from all the Costco meat.  I finished my using up my freezer stash and it's time to stock up for the winter.

Everyone is up this morning and going into work late - got to run.  Have a fantastic day.  Later gators.

P.S.  I'll leave you with a video of Aspen.  She's finally showing some interest in people.  When I came home last night, she jumped and danced for me!!  Don't know how well this video will load, but I'll give it a try.  It needs to play on MUTE because my dog-voice is annoying LOL!
