I’m married to my morning routine, maybe to the point that I’m a bit OCD about it. I wake up, grab the paper from the porch, remove the elastic and lay it out just so on the kitchen table, fix myself my ‘wake-up tummy!’ drink of water+freshly squeezed…

Racked up some #charitymiles with pupperoni this morning! It was gorgeous outside, warm and sunny with a light breeze, & while I thought I’d #ratherberunning it was nice to slow it down and spend some time with Charlie. We did 3.6miles for the Nature Conservatory, and our impact on the environment was 9 breaths of fresh air! I love those little factoids. A friendly neighbour had a bucket out with clean water for dogs, Charlie appreciated this VERY much. Thanks neighbour!!! #walk #summer #sun #recover #rebuild #listentoyourbody #restday #activerest #dog #pup #pets #puppy #fitness #instafit #workout #runner #instarun #goodmorning #friend #instapet #instadog

Chocolate #vega Nutritional Shake, 1tbsp flax/chia powder, Swiss chard, frozen kale, spinach, 1/2c Greek yogurt blended up with water. Then I added some TVP in the jar to thicken, topped with Nature’s Qu cereal, half a banana and a huge blob of peanut butter. SO GOOD. #recover #refuel #nourish #tiuspringfever #bikiniseries #leancleangreen #eatyourgreens #veggiepower #powerjar #biaj #glutenfree
#nofilter #uawomen #underarmour #IWILL find the strength in myself to keep on pushing even when my mind wants to stop. Really only wanted to run 5 or 6, but would’ve rather chilled in the backyard with coffee and the newspaper. I laced up and headed out anyway. It was a great run, one with a few challenges like a strain and GI issues, but I pushed through and got it done. #tiuspringfever #bikiniseries #findyourstrong #irunthisbody #instarun #instarunner #run #running #summer #getitdone #fitness #instafit #workout #sweat #bestrong #beresilient #fitspo #chasefear :)
What’s hot? I’m actually writing a blog post right now, hooray! I seriously need to form some kind of habit for this thing, I have so much to share, but life has a funny (not-so-hot) way of demanding my time, you know? I’ll come around, I swear!
What’s no…
#nofilter #runfree #freerun #instarun #run #running #instarunner #uawomen #whatsbeautiful #tiuspringfever #bikiniseries #fitness #workout #hillrun SUCCESS! Ended up having a great run, 1hr15mins of nonstop obstacles: wind both ways, uneven terrain, tons of hill climbs and any incline/challenging surface I could find, and zero numerical pressures made for a really fun run. This was at the top of a HUGE hill at a local park. Will recap this run with a few great shots I had the pleasure of snapping on the blog later. Hot yoga is happening tonight, can’t wait!!! #yogi #ilovefitness#moveyourbody#beactive#liveyourlife
Feeling super unmotivated today, kind of have been all weekend, skipped my long run an was supposed to do it today but really just don’t feel like running for some bizarre reason. Making myself get some miles in, because im not a quitter and don’t like excuses, hoping that #runningfree and leaving the watch at home will stoke my running fire. It’s cold out :( but sunny! Here goes… #fitfam #fitness #instarun #instafit #run #runner #running #motivation #runfree #noexcuses #getafterit #irunthisbody
Hey there, I'm Joanne, a 21 year old English student, gym rat, nutrition fact loving, wanna-be runner with a hyperactive Brittany named Charlie. After losing 140lbs all on my own I've become super passionate about fitness and nutrition. I'm a bit of an everythingtarian who loves experimenting with vegetarian and vegan diets. I'd love to see the day I run a 5k in 30 mins without stopping (DONE! First 5k race 03/4/2012 run in 29:23).
These are my thoughts, workouts, eats and shenanigans from my erratic mind to your computer screen, enjoy :)

I couldn’t think of anything better to do at 6 a.m. than running around with sweat in my eyes...
BOOYAH! I get so excited for these things. It’s always...
My first run in Iowa! It were way more rolling hills than I expected here! It was good hill...
