It's National Donut Day!

Yes! Today is National Donut Day! And I celebrated it! What exactly did I celebrate though? Well.... I will give you some small information on it,
"National Doughnut Day started on June 7, 1938 when a young military doctor by the name of Morgan Pett was sent to a military base. On his way there he stopped at a bakery and picked up 8 dozen doughnuts. When he arrived at the base he started helping many wounded soldiers, and would give them a free doughnut. One man he helped was a Lieutenant General by the name of Samuel Geary. Samuel Geary greatly appreciated the help on his leg, and the doughnut (as he was a very comical man) so he decided to make a fund raiser with Morgan Pett to give every wounded soldier, and the needy a doughnut. This fund raiser was later joined with the Salvation Army. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Doughnut_Day)" Got it? Awesome!  

Embrace the glorious mess that you are. [Talk about it Thursday]

Everyone on social media usually shows the beauty in their life but never the darkness. They show how their life is truly so perfect but not really what is behind closed doors. Which don't get me wrong, I totally get. You do not want people to know your business. Or maybe you just want people to think you really have it all together [which we all know you really don't all of the time. it is okay.] However I am going to share something short with you that happened this morning and the morning before..... well really it happens a lot. But I get a lot of comments on it, joked about and asked how. And every time I sit there and think in my head. Gosh if you only knew. Then I think maybe it is because I put on this face, like this is so easy and I am the freaking bomb all of the time. Well..... I am not. And what I am talking about is how this fitness lifestyle is so easy. [Which this relates with life also.] I am going to be honest and real. I am going to speak from the heart and let you see the true me.

The top 10 questions I am asked about fitness and my job. [daily.]

A few months back I went and had dinner with some very big and important people. Of course the thing we all had in common was the career with AdvoCare, The faith in God and determination to live the life we dreamed. But there was something else that we agreed on and just could not stop laughing about. However in AdvoCare you will come to see that we all come from different walks of life and even backgrounds in careers. Some are coaches, teachers, doctors, lawyers, dentist, sales associates, unemployed, full time mothers and fathers; so we all have some stories to tell and advice to share. And that was just it. Being A doctor, lawyer, dentist, or a coach. You are asked for advice. 'What toothpaste is best or how can I whiten my teeth?', 'Doc, I have been having headaches constantly for weeks now. Do you know what it might be?', 'So my baby daddy has stopped paying his child support, what do I need to do.'. I even got asked questions when I was outside of work when I worked at Sports Authority. 'Yo Miriah, you got them Nike 5.0s in?' However now being a Personal Trainer, Fitness Nutrition Specialist and working AdvoCare; I get asked many questions every day. The same questions every day. [Nothing is wrong with this. I love being asked questions and helping people out. Even if it is the same question that was asked a week before.] However, I want to share on here the top ten questions I get daily with ANSWERS! 

Thankful Tuesday! [Thrifting]

Gosh I have been so thankful for today. So much in that matter of a five hour time spand, has there been some wonderful news, good findings and just happiness. And it has all been just the sign from God continuing to show me that he has a plan and is by my side. That, I am thankful for! So besides the wonderful news from Raul today about Montana, My sister and I went to visit my grand parents. On the way, we see thrift stores!!!! And if you are us or really a Texas folk; you stop! So we did and I found some awesome deals. Here they are!

What makes your faith with God better than mine?

Every Sunday growing up from the day I was born, my family and I went to church. We had a small home church in Mesquite called 'Higher Ground'. This was our family, the Pastor and his wife are actually my God parents. So I have always been around the love of God, knowing who he is and knowing the life I am here to live. However when I moved to Corsicana in 2007 things had changed. Not in the sense of straying away from God, but in the way I felt welcomed in the house of God.

The Runner's High ! 

[ & my first 5k ]

Ok so no, I am not a elite runner, I have not been running for years, I am not a expert.

But what I am, is a woman who experienced a whole new life in the world of running.

Growing up I have always been active in physically activity. I was a cheerleader for 8 years, basketball player for 13 and volleyball for 3. Sports were my life.

Oh and I did cross country one time during middle school because the coaches told me,

'You will do amazing ! You have the body for it'

and well.... lets say, I never did it again after that one time. hahah.
