Shake Up the World a Little More...

Downtown Running

If you're thinking of running in downtown Jax. today, be forewarned:: aaallllll the crazies are out!!!! Drivers & pedestrians!!! Between them, getting stopped at every stinking block possible, & construction & detours..... I can't remember the last time I've gotten that aggravated while on a run, but....#LordHaveMercy

Make-up location plank challenge because I forgot to do it yesterday.... Short because 1.) Metal slatted benches hurt!!!! 2.) I was in run mode, short on time.....and had no patience left 😉. Got a cool pic of that blue sky, tho....👍

Operation Christmas Child

How many Jills does it take to make a Sunday School class extra fantabulous??? Just one.....but they're stuck with me, too!! 😉😂. We're name twinsies!!! 😁😁 And this beauty in purple has the SWEETEST disposition, always a smile and a hug to give....& crazy awesome drawing skills!!! She has at least one gift of her drawing talents that she gives to someone every week....and takes special requests!! 😍 And, the fact that this is our last week to turn in our Operation Christmas Child boxes has me thinking I should probably let go of my denial of what time of year it is! 😂😂. These boxes will go to 6 sweet girls in a place where things like pencils, soap, toothpaste & toothbrushes are the kind of treasures that will make a child's day. ❤ Another challenge for you today:: consider giving to a charity this holiday season that will bless those who have so much less than we do. Things that cost us little could bless someone beyond measure!! 🎄🎁🎄

Be an Audrey....

Headed to church & I might be one of the few who still actually ENJOYS dressing it up when I do....it's usually the only day I get to!! 😉😂 Your challenge for the day:: be true to YOU, but stay classy while you do!! And that's more about what's on the inside than the outside, dontcha know... (People have told me I remind them of Audrey Hepburn when I wear my hair up....I take it as a compliment!! She was one classy chick 😉)

Cat Mockery...

The mockery is strong with this one....😹😹😹

The Victory is in the Smile...

The eyes say....I feel like crap today. The smile says....I still win. :P But that stretch workout left me on the floor for the last move....and whatever I'm fighting is trying to catch up. I think I'm stuck, lol...

5 Miles with Marathon High

My running buddy today did an AWESOME job & cut some time off of his pace per mile!! 👍🏃😀 #MarathonHigh

Be Sweaty. Be Strong. Find your Beautiful.

Paraphrasing what someone wrote when posting her sweaty post-workout selfie in one of the online fitness groups I'm in..."I've never thought of myself as pretty and have never felt good about myself in general, but I feel beautiful after a work out when I'm sweaty and gross & my hair and make-up's a total mess, and I can't believe I'm saying this"!!! Yeah. Me, too....

I is smart. ❤
I is kind. ❤
I is important. ❤

YOU IS, TOO!! 😘😘

I is also sweaty. 😉 ❤
I is strong. 😉 ❤

Healthy choices, consistently made, change a lot more than a number on a scale or the size you wear. Those other changes.....THAT'S where you find your true & lasting be-YOU-tiful. ❤ #FlexFriday

Plankety Plank :)

Because I know some of you have decided to try this planking thing 😉::

When it starts to hurt....DON'T hold your breath!! Learn to breathe through discomfort correctly & you can last a little longer than you think you can....and that goes for more than just planks!! 😘😘
