I shared my fitness goals the other day, which are going well so far EXCEPT for one thing. My "do morning workouts" goal was based on the idea that it is the one time slot in the day that I can generally always count on. Everyone else is sleeping, there's no soccer practice then, etc.… Continue reading (Attempted) morning derailment….
Officially September! I am pretty happy with certain aspects of my life in these past few weeks. A few areas - not so good. But overall, I think I have more WINS than FAILS. August Wins 1- extremely consistent workouts! On week 5 of my monthly strength plan and haven't missed a strength workout yet.… Continue reading August Wins and Podcast Recs
I've heard a few good nuggets lately that have stuck with me and been rolling around in my head. Figured I'd share! + Laura's blog post titled "If others can, you can." She talks about how it can be helpful to remember, whenever you're feeling overwhelmed or incapable of something, that usually many other people… Continue reading A few things inspiring me + a Facebook update
Thanks to anyone who read my epistle of a life update the other day. LOL. Things are slowly feeling a little more "normal" this week, but I think I have come to understand that summertime is always going to feel sort of like a hot mess for me. The reality is just that with the… Continue reading New life mantra??
I'm currently reading 3 books. Which is probably not that smart of me, because I seem to have a hard enough time getting through 1 book in a reasonable amount of time. (Because, as outlined in this other post, I guess I just prioritize other things.) But I do actually love to read. And I… Continue reading Books + reading speed
It's been an enjoyable weekend so far. Yesterday I NEEDED some open time to catch up on some things- I had been persistently sort of ignoring my personal email inbox honestly since we got home from Costa Rica. I mean, I had dealt with the must-dos, but it had just really accumulated and needed attention.… Continue reading Pondering: G.R. and extreme diet changes
I want to clarify a couple more things about my time tracking experiment! First, why I'm doing this: I am not tracking my time so that I can deeply analyze it, or be able to say with certainty that I spent exactly 3.21 hours with my children yesterday. Maybe some people may want to do… Continue reading Time tracking, continued!
Good morning! It's a 5:30 a.m. swim practice day. These are currently "necessary" in Asher's schedule, because he is so busy with volleyball + soccer right now that he can't get to as many of the evening practices. Even with the early Wednesdays in the mix, he's only making it to swim about 3x/ week… Continue reading Time tracking experiment
As many of you might also, I feel like I hear reference to "Type A" personalities a lot. It seems to come up frequently in casual conversation. Example: Dealing with volunteer committee issues, and someone will comment that so- and so (who dropped the ball on something or is generally disorganized) apparently isn't very "Type… Continue reading Type A- and spring scenes
The cool thing about having a blog is that you have a fun place to decompress and share details about your life with other people. The bad thing about having a blog is that.... other people know a lot about your life! Which, is NOT actually a "bad thing" in my opinion- obviously I choose… Continue reading New habits + blogging + feeling self-conscious
GRATEFUL KAE
