"If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results." - Jack Dixon

I had a true case of the Mondays as the week started. It seemed like one thing after another just spiraled trying to knock me down. I took a beautiful walk on the beach to calm down and relax. It was a beautiful evening. 




I also had practice. Only 6 girls were able to come but they always know how to keep me inspired. They work so hard and are always smiling. 

We had Gabi and Lux visit us and Bela told us she wants a sister ;) 

Cyn and her golden girls !


Tuesday morning started with oatmeal with cinnamon and banana! Yum! 


Followed by a great hour of hot vinyasa flow yoga! After work I had 2 training sessions back to back, with some really great kids, followed by the SJCWS game up at Thomas College! It made for an extremely long, but productive day! We didn't get home until 11 o'clock! 

Wednesday was a fun filled day! A great 5.5 mile run & I was extremely happy with my splits! 


It was a beautiful morning! 



I spent my afternoon/evening in Dover, NH for work! It was a very productive day! I didn't get home until 9 and you bet I was fast asleep by 9:30!

Thursday was another gorgeous day! After work I had 2 Training sessions and a spontaneous date night! It's so important to spoil the ones you love! Cyn & I headed to the Corner Room for a delicious dinner! Yum! 


Friday morning came and I couldn't have been happier! Cyn got up early and treated us to Dunkin Coffees to start the day! Nothing better than a little spice of Pumpkin to kick off my Friday! 

We had another gorgeous day so I decided to RUN for time! I set out for 30 minutes and turned around and ran 30 minutes back! Sometimes it's nice to just relax and enjoy the time spent running rather than trying to hit certain splits! I got about 6.4 miles in an hour and I was very pleased with this! 

This was a little piece of my view! 


Then, because I was feeling on top of the world I added an hour hot yoga class as well! I couldn't feel any more blessed to be able to express myself through exercise! 

 

We went and visited Jack in the Hospital as he was diagnosed with Croup. He is such a good sport. We went for a little walk around and Murph snapped this shot! 


As we were leaving the sky was gorgeous from the parking lot at the hospital! 


Saturday morning Cyn and I had a date to go Stand Up Paddle Boarding! We decided to go out to Highland Lake! It was so calm! We had a great time, just wished it was a bit warmer! HAPPY LAST DAY OF SUMMER! 

 
After we went up to SJC for the Women's Soccer game! The girls won 2-0! It was a big win for us. I couldn't be more proud of the girls! We hung out for the BBQ with the girls and families! 

We got to see baby Evelynn! She is so cute, and so big! 


We came home to a happy puppy who I took for a nice long walk! And got some cleaning done... Until we realized out washing machine was broken... :( 

It wasn't an ideal night, but we have to remind ourselves we've still got a great life and we will just have to figure it out to make things work! It could always be worse and were lucky to have each other to talk things through. 

Sunday morning we finally got to sleep in! We had a relaxing morning sipping our coffee until Cyn got started on her delicious chili! 


While she cooked I took Bela for a nice walk and came home and went for a run! It was a gorgeous day! 


I'm not a huge selfie picture person but I thought my shirt had a great message! 


I did a total of 3.6 in 30 minutes and was pretty happy again with my splits! 


We started to get festive today and began to decorate! 


I swear, the best part of being a home owner is decorating! 


We had such a great, relaxing & productive weekend I feel well rested for another big week ahead! 

Remember: "If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results." - Jack Dixon

When I started this blog I planned to make it all about fitness, but as you've noticed it is more of a journal about my week in full! It just goes to show the end result isn't always the most important part. It's about a lifestyle. It's about being the best possible person YOU can be, and reaching your goals. Focus on what it will take to get you where you want to be and I guarantee you will get the results you are looking for sooner than expected. 

Stay focused and remember exercise IS fun! Have a great week and work hard!
