Ok or not ok to workout when you’ve been sick?

I was puny all weekend, ran a low grade fever for 24 hours, and was feeling good enough to go to work today but still not 100%.

I’ve had giant bags under my eyes indicating inflammation as well.

I felt the urge to sweat out the lingering issues. And now I feel better!!

What I did NOT do:
- cardio
- HIIT
- high impact
- heavy weights

These can cause you to exhaust your cortisol too much. Your cortisol rises to assist your immune system in fighting something off and recovering. You want it to be reserved for that important work.

What I did do:
- low impact barre workout
- low weights and loops with tons of reps
- moderate heart rate to induce a cleansing sweat
- extended somatic stretching at the end to give lymphatic release and flush my system
- deep breathing to wrap up

Sometimes we need to move out what’s causing heaviness and lethargy whether that’s physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. ❤️

Now, what to do with this ugly, “country” dresser that is an eyesore in my room. I want to update it so bad! That’s gotta be for another day… 😂

Xoxo,
Miranda

It’s worth it.
Purposeful pain yields the most peace and promises a better future.

Wellness is every nook and cranny of your life from the food you eat to the way you move, from the way you steward your resources to the wounds you allow to be healed.

The other side is waiting for you with great anticipation. This mountain can be moved.

If you’re ready to start your journey with that one first, brave step, message me and let’s talk about it.

Xoxo,
Miranda

Food for thought…
If you are unwell mentally, you will eventually be unwell physically.

The body keeps the score.
Change your thoughts by healing the underlying lies, limiting beliefs, traumas, implicit memories, and shame that fuel them.

Watch your physical health improve. 👊

A lil hey there since there are so many new followers the last few days!

Hi, I’m Miranda, 45 year old midlife mom. Here’s a few share worthy tidbits so you know who you’re following and if you want to stay. 😉

1. I am a nonprofit marketing professional by day. I love the mission and doing work that makes a difference in the world.

2. As soon as work is done, I’m in workout clothes or sweats. And I mean, I go from the car to my closet ASAP. I prefer comfy to bougie!

3. My daughter is a brain cancer survivor and the reason I have a passion for wellness. She is my hero and a huge source of inspiration!

4. I’m one of “those” moms who over-loves her kids. They’re the most amazing humans I know. My boys are almost 26, almost 23, 22 (a beautiful foster-like situation), and my girls are 21 (cancer survivor), and 15.

5. I am obsessed with research. Currently, I am aiming to resolve the perimenopause struggles that arrive in your early 40s. I’ve made astounding progress I can wait to share more of to offer solace and relief to my lady friends in this season of transition.

6. I’m also looking at neuroplasticity and how to rewire the brain with guided meditation, ketamine, and therapeutic psilocybin.

7. I read books like crazy, mostly nonfiction, but take a fiction break every 5 or 6 books I read.

8. I have adrenal fatigue from years of chronic stress and toxic relationships that maxed out my cortisol and put me in adrenal insufficiency, which I have been addressing for 10 years now.

9. I am a highly sensitive empath. If I’m in your presence, I’m feeling your energy and seeing straight through the facade to your heart.

10. I am not really funny unless it’s on accident. If I do offer an attempt at humor, it is usually excessively corny or doesn’t come out quite right.

11. I talk a lot until I’m done. Then it’s quiet, quiet, quiet.

12. I LOVE being in the company of women with beautiful souls. I love to listen to you, serve you in any way I can, share stories and experiences, and just enjoy female fellowship in this season of life.

13. Obsessed with nontoxic living!! Food, cleaners, supplements, beauty products, alllllll the things.

14. I HATE small talk. Give me the meat.

15. I want nothing more than to serve Jesus with my life. ❤️

Do we have anything in common?!

Xoxo,
Miranda

Thank for accepting my invitation to follow this page!

I used this page years ago and have dabbled with it here and there the past few.

But, I recently became certified as a Health and Wellness Coach by ASFA - American Sports and Fitness Association and I’ll primarily be using this page to share helpful content for your wellness journey. ❤️❤️

So, to pick things off, what do you personally think holds you and others back from achieving wellness goals? I’d love to hear!

Attention women 35 and up!

Did you know:
Perimenopause is the beginning of a natural decline in estrogen, which increases visceral fat mass, decreases bone mass density, muscle mass, and strength.

When your hormone levels start to fall, it can have a profound impact on your joints. Your joints can become stiffer, causing flexibility and range of motion to decrease significantly over time.

Low back pain?
Hip pain?

The decline in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA combined with an increase in cortisol that seems to come naturally with this season of life due to stress of raising teens, sending kids off to college, career changes or stagnancy in creative outlets, body changes, relationship and financial issues, etc. can wreak havoc on your joints and flexibility.

To top it off, estrogen is protective for your joints and bones and progesterone is the soothing salve for estrogen’s darker side that can causes anger, mood swings, and weight gain. The decline of both can leave you feeling really off physically and emotionally!

Perimenopausal and menopausal women should consider a health and well-being program that includes:
- moderate weightlifting or resistance exercises to help mitigate muscle loss

- an abundance of stretching when your muscles are warm; think 10-15 minutes of stretching post walking or workout

- yoga, Pilates, or barre are great options that include both resistance training and stretching for an all-in-one protocol

- walks in nature to connect with the earth

- going barefoot outside; proven to lower cortisol and help with balance hormones

- meditation and prayer

- adequate and high quality sleep

- stress reduction wherever and however possible

- balanced meals with tons of veggies, high protein, and seeds (seeds help balance hormones)

- supplements as necessary for individual deficiencies or gaps; there ARE natural things you can take that do help without HRT.

Questions?! Reach out! I’m happy to provide additional guidance!

With LOVE and compassion for this season because I’m with you,

Miranda

Recipe share!!

Here are two recipes I made this week and one I posted about two weeks ago a lot of you had asked for. They are all SO good! #1 is best for Saturday or Sunday when you have a little more time to cook. #2 and 3 are one pan meals so perfect for weeknights!

1) Comforting Cauliflower Crust Pie
- I add 1.5lbs clean ground beef with this. You could easily do ground turkey or shredded chicken.
- I also do half a package of frozen kale instead of broccoli.
- I use a 9x13 casserole pan because added meat takes up a lot more space!

2) One Pan Turkey Taco Quinoa Bowls
- I used clean beef instead of turkey.
- I served this in a bowl on top of sautéed kale with chopped avocados on top.

3) One Pan Creamy Asparagus (Veggie) Pasta
- I used chicken tenderloins instead of breasts because they’re easier to cut into chunks.
- I subbed the condensed milk with cream of coconut.
- I used Zuchini pasta instead of wheat.
- I used frozen asparagus rather than fresh because it’s what I had.
- I suggest using double the Parmesan cheese it calls for. Lol
