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

New habits + blogging + feeling self-conscious
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
1 down!
It's February! Cue everyone saying, "Oh my goodness, can you believe it's February already???" 😄 But it is crazy to me to realize that 2023 is 1/12th over already. I'm feeling pretty solid about how 2023 is going in terms of goals/ resolutions/ what have you so far. Habit Tracker: Read: 26/31 days Walk: 19/31… Continue reading 1 down!
All or nothing
On Sunday I wrapped up my 2nd week of this "January Shred". For the second week in a row, I was 100% on my workouts (5 strength, 3 cardio sessions). I've been thinking about this, because I know for a fact that these are the first weeks in a VERY LONG TIME that I have… Continue reading All or nothing
Couple more misc. macros thoughts
I wanted to jot down a couple more thoughts about the macro tracking stuff! 1) Eating the same foods frequently makes macro tracking much easier. (I think I said this already recently.) 2) The hardest part isn't actually getting in all that protein, it's getting in all that protein without going over on carbs or… Continue reading Couple more misc. macros thoughts
Update on my adding/subtracting habit plan + some fitness “advice”
November is almost over, which means my goal of adding a specific habit for the month of November is almost over, too. If you recall, I talked about this idea in this post. I have really enjoyed focusing on just ONE THING for a month. I chose to start with "adding" a good habit (versus… Continue reading Update on my adding/subtracting habit plan + some fitness “advice”
Training gratitude/ minimalism
I wanted to share a short You Tube clip I ran across yesterday. It's from Joshua Becker, of the Becoming Minimalist page. I know he's pretty popular, to the tune of millions of followers. I think he has some books out, in addition to his social media pages and blog. Looks like he also has… Continue reading Training gratitude/ minimalism
Adding/ subtracting and a productive Thursday
Adding/ Subtracting Habits: One of the people I read about in Tribe of Mentors talked about his custom of making "New Month Resolutions" instead of "New Year Resolutions". Specifically, he rotates between either ADDING a habit or SUBTRACTING a daily habit. The examples he personally gave in the book were: July = Daily readingAugust= No… Continue reading Adding/ subtracting and a productive Thursday
Hunger cues/ constant eating! And dinner
1. Hunger cues I've noticed something interesting whenever we travel. I typically always "lose a little weight". (Not a lot or anything, but I tend to feel just a little trimmer and slimmer than usual when we get home. Which always surprises me, because I do not watch what I eat at all when we… Continue reading Hunger cues/ constant eating! And dinner
Getting unstuck/ daily habits/ streaks
I have heard the same general "message" in several different places in the past week, so it must mean the universe is whispering it loudly to me. Daily Habits > Once in a While! It started last week when I listened to an episode of the 5 am Miracle podcast titled "5 Bad Habits I… Continue reading Getting unstuck/ daily habits/ streaks
