Protein + Fiber After an extremely loose summer + lots of travel, I finally jumped back on the "high protein and fiber" train last week. I never was totally off the train, but was kinda hanging off the back of the caboose... "Protein and fiber" are definitely having their moment in society right now, and… Continue reading Back on the protein/fiber train + quitting soda update #6
Meal planning has long not been a strength of mine. I recently mentioned, when I was on SHU's podcast Best Laid Plans (just realized I NEVER SHARED ABOUT THIS! Whoops! Sarah and I recorded a mid-year goals check-in episode when I visited her in July; link here), that I wanted to streamline our meal planning.… Continue reading Project Routine Optimization #3: Meal Planning!
When I posted last time, it was Wednesday and I still felt rather frazzled. I'm happy to report that things finally feel like they're settling down. We had a busy but overall nice week. Like I mentioned, we attended a Senior Parent Meeting on Wednesday at Ethan's school. Of course, LOTS of "college application" talk… Continue reading Settling down
I just sat here and pondered what I wanted to title this post I'm about to write. At first I thought "exhale", as in, I'm finally able to exhale. But I don't quite yet feel that I'm exhaling. "Brain dump" isn't right either. "Catch up" or "Lately" feels a little too benign or relaxed for… Continue reading Whew
Today's habit/ routine that I'm optimizing is: charging my Apple watch. I have had weirdly problematic issues with keeping my devices charged lately (specifically my watch). To the point that I basically gave up and stopped wearing my Apple watch for several months. (Long enough that I forgot my little 4 digit passcode and had… Continue reading Project ‘Routine Optimization’ #2: charging my watch + steps
I'm starting an informal "blog series"! I'm calling it: Project Routine Optimization. 😁 With back to school season underway for us + family visits winding down, my mind has shifted toward tweaking a few routines. I'll cover one each day. I have ~6-ish on my list. Up first: #1: My workout routine Strength: Long term… Continue reading Project Routine Optimization #1 + last first day
We've been home a week already so I know this is old news, but for the sake of posterity, I need to finish up the end of our trip. 🙂 Friday was our last full day. The original plan had been to drive out to St. Andrews State Park and spend the morning there (per… Continue reading Final Beach Report #4: Friday and travel home
I still have 1 more Florida recap to write, but haven't had a chance. I wanted to pop in and say hi and give a little update though. Re-entry In terms of post vacation re-entry, this was one of our best yet! We were away for a total of 9 nights and got home Sunday… Continue reading Touching base!
Good morning! Somehow it’s already Friday, and our last full day at the beach. Hard to believe we checked in way last Saturday?! Tomorrow (Saturday) we check out and start the drive home. We’ll stop somewhere overnight and be home on Sunday. It’s been a great week!! Thankfully, the only rain drops we’ve seen all… Continue reading Beach Report #3: Tuesday to Thursday
Hello! Left off on our first full day here, Sunday, and now it’s Tuesday morning. Sunday the weather did end up clearing, fortunately, though the ocean was churned up and we had a double red flag (ocean closed to swimming). Picking up where I left off: Sunday afternoon tea/relaxing on the balcony: Then a bunch… Continue reading Beach Report #2
GRATEFUL KAE
