Hey folks, July was a BUSY month (I feel like I say that frequently, this adulting thing is HARD). But with a mind towards gratitude let’s stop for a minute and talk about five great things from July!

I just started seeing a new doctor. (Not because I didn’t like my old doctor-I will always love her with fire of a thousand suns, after all she encouraged me to go to Healthy Kitchens, encouraged my Whole30, and had my number when it came to excuses. She is the absolute best. But she decided to go to New Zealand for a few years this fall- and who can blame her? I figured I’d better start establishing care with my new doctor, you know so I could have a place to go if I got sick. After meeting her, going over all of my most recent labs and my family history she mentioned those dreaded words…Physical Fitness. Yikes. Of all the things that I am good at…this is not one of them. So let’s talk about this…

Are you a fan of New Year’s Resolutions? I definitely used to be. I would carefully craft long lists of all the new things I was going to do/see/be/improve in the coming year. I would excitedly make plans and then – inevitably – about two weeks later, life would get in the way and all of those things would fall by the wayside. Over the past few years, I’ve realized that as much as I love the idea of resolutions, they really weren’t working for me. So I gave them up. And you know what? It’s been great. Instead of resolutions, I have used the start of the New Year as a simple opportunity to reflect on things that have worked for me in past year as well as those things that didn’t. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about fitness and keeping strong and healthy in 2019. With that in mind, our Good Food Reads this week is some thoughts on fitness as a food blogger!
