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
Happy Monday. 🙂 Workout Recap Without Pictures Because I Wasn't Really in the Picture-Taking Mood This Week: Monday 8/21 20 minute morning walk after Ethan left for school. Midday workout with Asher- Legs #1, Week 4. Starting to feel ready to move on to a new month's program, but, August is a long month, so… Continue reading Workout recap + Monday memes
I can't let today pass by without commenting on our extreme heat situation up here in Wisconsin! Also, it's always very fun to sing that song and it instantly gets me in the mood to be somewhere tropical and dancing in a congo line. "Ole ole, ole ole.... feeling hot hot hot....." Ooh, especially the… Continue reading Feelin’ hot hot hot
A little delayed, but here's my recap for last week! This was Week 3 of my August workout plan. I managed to technically complete all 5 strength workouts, though one of them was shortened and done at home. Monday 8/14 This was Ethan's first day of school and I knew we had a busy evening… Continue reading A recap: Workouts, life and my week of August 14th
TGIF... we made it to the end of Week 1 of the school year. 🎉🎉 Now, instead of celebrating yet, I need just one quick minute to be negative. I have a Pet Peeve to get off my chest. The best representation for how I feel about this current situation is: Yes, a big ol'… Continue reading A Pet Peeve and good advice
The school week is going very well! Ethan reported being "tired" when he got home last night, which is not surprising. I am actually not sure if he meant physically (from soccer), mentally or just sleepy; probably a combination of all three. He continues to be very positive overall. Wednesdays and Thursdays are their block… Continue reading Changes cont. & thinking about school year routines
Another solid week of workouts! Is sharing these recaps here the secret sauce? Wait, am I an obliger and not an upholder as I thought?? 😁😝 I actually had a few hiccups this week; I had to skip Wednesday/ insert my rest day in the middle of the week, and I subbed a home workout… Continue reading A recap: week of 8/6 workouts
We have been totally kid-free over here since last Thursday morning! So almost a week now. (In case you missed it, Ethan is at my parents' house, and Asher is at his cousin's.) It has been nice!! I have this little feeling like I'm not, I don't know, fully capitalizing on this rare kid-free time… Continue reading Some kid-free days and a digression
I am feeling GOOD today!! I feel minorly guilty saying this so excitedly, but I'll say it anyway: Both boys are away from home for a while!!! This is a very rare situation around here. Ethan wanted to go stay with my parents for a week before school starts (he does this most summers and… Continue reading A ME day… and passing on a travel opportunity
🔷 I feel 1,000 times better and more myself this week. The biggest factor I think is a more normal workweek, where I'm more in control of my schedule again. The audit isn't over yet, but the "heaviest lifting" re: prep work is done. So this week I'm not needing to focus on any of… Continue reading Thursday Thoughts
GRATEFUL KAE
