February definitely felt like it flew by much more quickly than January. It also was a very Asher-heavy month! Which I think is okay...that's just how it goes sometimes. Especially now that Ethan can drive himself places! By default, we're just a little less "hands-on" with him now. As high school tennis starts up soon… Continue reading February 2025 Recap
We had a really nice weekend! The main event for us was Asher's big Conference swim meet on Saturday, which is the beginning of the post-season for high school swim. They taper them to perform well at this meet, the boys all wear their fancy racing tech suits, etc. The meet was Saturday afternoon at… Continue reading The weekend, etc. + the internet gets me
January 31st! One whole month down of 2025. I mean, actually, this is pretty accurate! Haha. So far, I'm happy overall with my progress on my goals. Yes, as always happens, some of that New Year Energy started to wane a bit around the midway point. (Apparently January 10th is officially "Quitter's Day", i.e. when… Continue reading January 2025 recap
I'm really thrilled with my new year's workouts so far! So far I have hit 100% of my planned strength workouts (have completed 13 so far this month) and I'm especially proud of my CARDIO efforts! I've completed 9, but best of all, it feels like it's finally becoming more of a routine habit. As… Continue reading Happy with progress + showing up
Next up- my Health/Fitness goals! These are probably a little more boring, but important to me and I still like them. 1. Do 200 strength, 150 cardio and 50 yoga workouts this year. I originally had shared about this idea a few weeks ago, to zoom out and try to hit a yearly total instead… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Health/Fitness
Okay, I'm back with my Personal goals. I aimed to come up with 5 for each domain to hopefully total 25. (As a reminder, my domains are Personal, Health/Fitness, Kids/Family, Household, and Other). 1. Read 25 for 25 This came to me when I saw "Read 25 minutes in 2025" is Gretchen Rubin's public challenge… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Personal
(I have nothing spooky or freaky to share in this post, besides deciding to title it "Freaky Friday" because it's Friday the 13th. 😆) 1- IT'S BEEN A WEEK. Outside of work, it's actually been a nice week in many ways. 🟡 I went to both of Asher's VB games this week (Monday and Wednesday)… Continue reading Freaky Friday 5
I am having difficulty wrapping my head around the fact that it's August! This has felt like the weirdest summer to me. And it's kind of almost over, but also kind of not. Ethan starts school in a week and a half, on August 15, but Asher doesn't go back until September 3! So that's… Continue reading AUGUST + soda + swim updates
Hey! Sorry to disappear. We went to my parents' house for 2 nights (Wed-Fri) for the 4th last week, and then the "extended family interpersonal situation" I mentioned recently escalated some over the weekend and has had my brain on the fritz. Since I'm the one who is home during the day (obviously working, but… Continue reading Steps woes and other updates
Thank you to all of you chimed in and offered words of encouragement on my post about quitting soda! Truly, it means a lot to know I have people behind me! Today is DAY 3 and going great! I have had no thoughts at all of caving. I think obviously the public post helps a… Continue reading Thanks and quitting soda update + my replacement plans
GRATEFUL KAE
