Life with Michelle Sparkles

Someday, you will look back at this version of yourself and realize just how strong you had to be to never give up and keep going. It’s the courageous version of you TODAY that makes it happen.

It wasn’t fast, it wasn’t pretty, it was the slowest 5k I’ve ever done but the point is I did it 😍First in 5+ years and first 5K with Lucy Lou (who is now conked out).

The highlight of my week.

Sitting with my 4th grader, waiting for the bus, listening to him talk all things Jurassic World, hockey, and his first few days of school. Time has been flying as we’ve been busy with sports, work, school and everything else and these moments aren’t as often as they used to be.

I hated hearing “it goes so fast” from every little old lady when my kids were toddlers throwing temper tantrums in the Target checkout, but it sure does💙

Greater Wausau friends- help a girl out! What are your favorite local restaurants and things to do on date night?

This year my hubby and I set a goal to support our local businesses. One of our adventures led us to Osso Buco - Weston and it was AMAZING! We loved the Italian menu with a few unlisted chef specials, cute atmosphere and attentive staff.

We want to keep the fun going, so tag your favorite businesses and ideas below 👇🏼👇🏼

This spring I lost my 52 week Peloton streak almost right after I announced my celebration hitting. *cues tears*
I spent a week throwing myself a pity party before I got right back at it and I hit 19 weeks this week!

So this is your reminder if you have a day you don’t meet some goal, just get right back at it. You’ll be there again before you know it!

BABE IT’S AUGUST! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?!?

Pumpkin spice time!!! If you haven’t tried them yet, I strongly recommend the International Delight cold foams! And they have a Pumpkin Spice for fall!

One day at a time.

I’ve been reading new book “Speak” and LOVING IT. One of the first first quotes that caught my eye was this one. Learning to navigate my health & weight loss from a completely different place where I learn to trust myself, my body, my decision and be loving instead of self-loathing has been a trip and is a work in progress. One of my biggest hang ups is the uncertainty and self-doubt that can go with learning new habits and changing my mindset and that’s NORMAL. Her words are a reminder that uncertainty isn’t bad- it’s full of possibilities.

A 52 week Peloton streak is worth sharing! It’s been a year you guys 😅 I’m not where I want to be but I’m really proud of giving it what I could at least once a week. So for anyone else out there feeling like what they’re doing isn’t enough, just remember something is better than nothing. Thank you Tunde Oyeneyin - Peloton for all the amazing workouts!

Let’s see what this next year of Peloton fun will bring!
