This title perhaps sounds grander than it really is, because I don't have any crazy big goals for 2024. (I mean, I'm not trying to qualify for the Boston marathon like someone I know is! 😉 SO excited for her on this, by the way!) My fitness main goals are: 1. Keep strength training regularly.… Continue reading Fitness goals for 2024 and new strength program
Whew, we're home!! As alluded to in my last post, we did not actually make it home Friday night as planned. Womp womp. As soon as we landed in Guadalajara, Ivan pulled up the Aeromexico airline app, checked our next flight and it said... "In the air". So much for that. It was already after… Continue reading Home, Charlie reunion, setting 2024 intentions…

Hello! I have nothing too exciting to share today- just checking in. Let's see. Macro Tracking: Day 2 So I successfully completed Day 2 of macro tracking. I mostly ate the same stuff as I did on Monday, which is definitely a great hack for simplifying macro tracking (assuming you don't mind eating some repetitive… Continue reading Wednesday check in and workout tracking
We're officially over a week into the new year now. I can ALREADY feel that "new year magic energy" kind of dimming!!! Despite my best efforts, something always happens to me around Day 8 of any new plan, etc. that I try to follow. (A couple years ago, I tried repeatedly to do the #75Hard… Continue reading One week in + new endeavor…
Mental hurdle: a busy gym I love our local gym, but guess what? So do a lot of other people. And this makes me happy, because it's locally owned by a couple (and the owners are super nice), AND our gym provides an AMAZING place for teens and pre-teens to hang out somewhere safe and… Continue reading Overcoming a mental hurdle, books + a meal plan!
