Okay, disclaimer- this is a topic that I could go on and on about, so I will try my best to keep this concise (edited to add- I lied. This is not concise.) I want to get more into my personal experience, but I feel like I should give a little "101" level intro first… Continue reading My experience with macro counting/ IIFYM
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
Yesterday: Biggest accomplishment= I did our taxes!!! On April 10th. Plenty of time in advance...a whole 8 days to go til the deadline. 😆 We actually intentionally decided to do them "late" this year/ after our trip. It was just too busy in February with all my volunteer work stuff + trip planning, etc.... so… Continue reading Sunday list + Meal plan
I still haven't had time to finalize my 22 for 2022 list, which I started on New Year's Eve. In a way I'm okay with it, because I feel like I'm sort of having a dry run/ trial week this week. I've been floating some of the ideas in my head, but not feeling any… Continue reading Vegetables
One of my favorite things about working from home is, of course, the FLEXIBILITY. We badly needed groceries for a few days, but with soccer all weekend, it just never happened. (In large part just because no one actually wanted to go get groceries.) Come Monday night, when I thought I would run over to… Continue reading The joy of a midweek, morning grocery run
Quarantining = eating all meals at home, obviously...and besides one pizza last weekend, we haven't ordered out at all, either. As I said though yesterday, my work hours have been a little wacky. I haven't really felt like I have had an abundance of free time, probably due to working until later in the day.… Continue reading Meals + leisure
My big accomplishment of the day yesterday was that I didn't get in my car or have to go anywhere in the entire day. 🙂 I know we are all supposed to still be staying home, and for the most part, we are. We really don't go anywhere too exciting these days, but with the… Continue reading Housekeeping- cleaning & meals
Working in healthcare for over 15 years now, I've obviously had a ton of experience with sick people. I've seen horrible cases in the hospital, of people who just can't catch a break. Families that suffer and struggle for years with chronic illness.You'd think that everyone who works in healthcare would walk around with a serious… Continue reading Perspective
I haven't talked much about cooking/ meal planning on this blog, because generally speaking, my meal planning and cooking style is pretty "fly by the seat of my pants". We (mostly, I) cook at home often, but it's honestly not super organized (though I have made more attempts recently to plan our meals). A few issues:#1:I… Continue reading Recipe storage….a possible epiphany?
I ended up missing my blogging window yesterday morning, thanks to a watermelon.Yes, a watermelon ruined my morning yesterday. Hmph. I have a pretty bad habit of buying large fruit items that require chopping and then letting them sit on the counter for many days before actually getting up the gumption to spend 10 minutes slicing/dicing/chopping/storing… Continue reading A strange household disaster
