Exercise Chiropractic care And so I’m doing a newsletter series sharing some of my favorite tips about those pillars.....and we started with mindset.

Your are what you eat.......so let’s make sure that what you eat is nutritious and healthy!! Fun fact for you, but I think that if I wasn’t a chiropractor and owner of Sunrise Chiropractic and Wellness, I’d probably open up a restaurant: Shannon’s Salads Salads are so versatile and you can customize them any way you like - no meat, all the meat, fruits no fruits, lots of veggies, or lots of toppings! Yes, you need to beware of salad dressings and not putting too many f...ruits/dried fruits on there, but overall - it’s a great way to eat whole foods!!! Yesterday’s lunch was: 50/50 spring mix Olive oil and ACV for dressing Pickled beets!! Walnuts Apples Dried cranberries Chicken salad with cracked pepper. And today’s was: 50/50 spring mix Olive oil and ACV for dressing More pickled beets!! Carrots Cucumbers Apples Dried cranberries Chicken salas with cracked pepper. What’s your favorite salad topping??? What’s something I need to add to my salads??

Yesterday there was weird hail/sleet/snow stuff, and today, suns out guns out for some speed work cause..........I got confirmation from the Skidaway Island race director that I’m officially switched to the half marathon so here were come super scary goal that makes me wonder what I’m doing, makes me wonder if I can do it, pushes me outside my comfort zone, makes me scared to stay it out loud 1:30 . . 6 miles: 4x800 at 6:40/mile pace with some weights and a... walk mixed in. . . ~what if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what it you fly?~ . . #sunrisechiropracticandwellness #chiropractor #chiropractic #runningchiro #runlikeamother #speedwork #motherrunner #halfmarathontraining #roadrunner #runninggoals #kennesawchiropractor #acworthchiropractor #westcobbchiropractor #drshannonobrien See more

I held a vision board workshop at my office this past weekend. And as always, it was magical People participated near and far, families made boards together and individually, and it just makes me feel so good thinking about the good that others wish for this world. . . So I share with you my vision, and I feel compelled to mention something in particular.......MOVEMENT........because we are energy our world is energy our thoughts are energy our emotions are energy... how we show up in the world is energy and that energy can get stuck.....right? My mom sent me something recently that spoke of this specifically. How MOVEMENT of our bodies is key to the MOVEMENT of this energy. So maybe that’s why this word made it on my vision board but I do know that my energy is better when I move (run, spin, yoga, breath work, weight lifting, walking, hiking, belly laughing, and so much more ). Maybe I can challenge you to move your body today, set a movement goal, or picture the goal of this movement as more than just a number on a scale or a measurement around the waist......but a way to process stuck energy and maybe a chiropractic adjustment plays a role too in moving stuck energy and helping our bodies move better . . #sunrisechiropracticandwellness #chiropractor #chiropractic #movementismedicine #movementheals #moveyourbody #healthandwellness #wellnessevolution #holistichealthcare #weareenergy #runningchiro #runlikeamother #motherrunner #creatingavision #visionboard #kennesawchiropractor #acworthchiropractor #westcobbchiropractor #drshannonobrien See more

Hit miles for the month on my run this morning.....and with just a few days to spare although, with views like this, I really could have just kept going. There’s something magical about getting out of town for a bit, eating lots of food, focusing intently on gratitude, and running down the middle of a country road. . . It’s hard to believe that we’ve only got about a month left in 2020 This is the time I start reflecting on the year.....what worked, what didn’t, where c...ould I improve, and what my word of the year for next year might be oh and I start thinking about my running goals One thing that came to mind during my run was the thought........whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right . . #sunrisechiropracticandwellness #chiropractor #runningchiro #runhealthy #runspiration #runlikeamother #motherrunner #roadrunner #countryroads #chiropractic #healthymindset #goalsetting #kennesawchiropractor #acworthchiropractor #westcobbchiropractor #drshannonobrien See more

Hit the trails with these crazies today there was whining and complaining and fighting, but we actually made it 2 miles without anyone taking home any sticks or rocks (that’s a win in my book). We hiked up the Laurel Ridge Trail as part of Pine Mountain and made it to Allatoona Dam (such gorgeous views) . . Don’t forget to read my Take a Hike blog to find some cool trails near the Kennesaw/Acworth area .... . #sunrisechiropracticandwellness #chiropractor #runningchiro #familychiropractic #familywellness #raisinghealthyfamilies #hikemoreworryless #hikingwithdogs #hikingwithkids #wellnessevolution #optoutside #kennesawmoms #acworthmoms #westcobbmoms #kennesawchiropractor #acworthchiropractor #westcobbchiropractor #drshannonobrien See more
