Got it DONE tonight. Once the music from #sweat4 started, I got super energized & went into beast mode. Finished it up with yoga & stretching and now I feel great. Working shift work tied to a desk feels like torture sometimes, so this workout was just what I needed. Forever grateful to @estellearcher for making working out fun again! #sweat #estellearcher #dawnarcherfitness #dance #yoga #stretch #happy #endorphins

#eatgoodfeelgood ~ I want to feel empowered by my food choices, not trapped. I don't want to be controlled by food anymore. And an insightful beautiful woman responded to this by saying, you can have that feeling anytime you want. I choose now. I am powerful, I just don't know how powerful yet ❤️ #imincontrol #eatforfuel #igotthis #powerful #strong

Explored my neighbourhood today, a little bit ambitiously I'll admit. 8km walk on a gloomy day followed by #yogawithadriene ~ now putting my feet up until it's time to make dinner for my man #8kmclub #walking #yoga #gloomyday #afternoonoff #beats #lululemon #feetup #netflixon #wifeymaterial

Well I did it! Definitely one of the hardest & most liberating mental runs I've ever done. I was a hot mess emotionally throughout & when I finished. But now I'm smiling. I'm proud of myself for finishing & ready to say 'fuck it' and just focus on myself. I will try to lessen the pressure I put on myself and just live & see where I can take myself on this journey. A huge thank you goes out to my running partner & favourite uncle @northbayscott because we both know there's no way I would have crossed that finished line without him. Feeling like a clean slate & ready to move forward ~ today is a new day #runner #itsallmental #pushingforward #dontlookback #newday #freshstart #ourhospitalwalkrun2015 #5km #proud (at North Bay Regional Health Centre)

Get up, lace up, shut up, & run. Then take a sweaty selfie and get your recovery on ~ then go about your day & be awesome. Now for some housework followed by wine & #tgit | #runner #runnershigh #couchto5k #training #happy #healthy #vino #shakeo #recovery

❤️ fall walks ~ my man & I took the pooches out to Callander for a beautiful walk. Reminded of all the reasons fall is my favourite season (besides pumpkin spice everything) | #fallwalks #favouriteseason #familytime #dogwalk #trees #nature #mancrusheveryday (at Callendar, Ontario)

Easily my favourite way to start the day ~ crisp fall run, stretch sesh & a delicious recovery drink. Not an easy run today, my body fought me on every step but I pushed through. Because if it was easy, everyone would do it, right? Here's to staying motivated & pushing through on even the hardest days! #runner #couchto5k #training #staymotivatedmyfriends #fitspiration #noteasybutworthit #notadnb #happy #healthy #shakeo

One of the many reasons I'm so in love with my man is how supportive he is. Yesterday I was telling him how I hadn't run in almost a week because I had let life and work get in the way. So this morning on his way out the door he says, go for a run today. And if it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have. But thanks to his inspiration I had another beautiful run in my #happyplace ~ very grateful for him & runs like today. Followed it up with a quick stretch & #shakeo matcha smoothie. Perfect start to a 12 hour work day! #runnershigh #run #healthy #couchto5k #training #support #mymancrusheveryday #gorgeous #nature #offtowork

Accomplished my goal of running three days a week, this week & really pushed myself tonight to boot! The first couple sets of running/walking were rough, my legs were aching and I felt a shin splint, but a wise coach once told me never judge a run by the first kilometre @northbayscott ~ so I put a smile on my face and pushed through. I ended up really pushing myself and sprinting up hills just to show myself I could do it. Also my man joined me on the last bit of my run, which obviously made it perfect! Side bar: to say @rondarousey book is inspirational, is the understatement of the century. There are so many pieces of advice that hit close to home within the pages & I'm truly captivated by #myfightyourfight ~ go get your copy, friends! #runner #runnershigh #training #5km #couchto5k #rondarousey #fitspiration #notadnb

#motivationmonday | #rondarousey is the most badass person and fitness inspiration out there. I'm anxious to read this & find out more about her story. Not only did I find this gem in the bookstore today but I also watched @rondarousey on @theellenshow ~ #timingiseverything | perfect book for a new chapter in my fitness journey ~ #fitspiration #notadnb #goodreads #happy #healthy

She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water ~ the feels from today's run. The surroundings on my run were so breathtaking, I had to unplug, take off my headphones and just listen. To the wind, the birds, and my footsteps on the pavement. I will never forget the rush that running gives me. I'm all smiles when my running shoes are on and I can't wait to push myself and see what I can accomplish ~ #runner #runnershigh #happy #nature #unplug #breathtaking #northbay
