Yesterday was a 5/5 day on my mood ranking chart! I don't give those out too often. What made it such a good day? Well, nothing special, really. It was just a nice day. 1. THE WEATHER. After a terrible spring, it was sunny and ~60 degrees yesterday. 2. I liked how I scheduled my… Continue reading 5 out of 5 day
Good morning....I've been up since about 4:18 a.m., when I woke suddenly from dream. In the dream, I had felt a little something under my pillow. So, (in the dream), I of course moved my pillow, and found dozens of SPIDERS crawling all over the bed! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like, big, black, disgusting spiders!! Ivan and I… Continue reading Workday appointments, resisting temptation and spider dreams
I'm happy to report that I am still tracking my macros. Yesterday was Day 8. "Day 8" (or thereabouts) tends to be my kryptonite. Usually, any time I try to implement a change, or do a "program" (like when I tried repeatedly to do the #75Hard program...), I go forth strong for...about 8 days. I… Continue reading Over the 8 day hump/ nutrition podcast rec
Weekend Recap: Friday night- Asher had swim practice from 6:20-7:35, so I drove him to that. After, Ivan and I went out for our pretty typical Friday night date night, to his friend's Mexican restaurant. We, as usual, got the chicken and steak "nachos fiesta", no sour cream, add raw jalapeno. If you're wondering if… Continue reading A very Mama Mia-full weekend
A reader requested a long time ago (like maybe January?) that I write an "all about hot tubs" post, and I totally forgot!!! Something made me think of it this morning while I was sitting IN our hot tub. Megan, if you're still reading, I'm sorry!!! Here you go! My morning tea, taken today on… Continue reading About hot tubs

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
I finally went back to the gym! (I feel like I've had a few of these "I'm back!" posts....hopefully you won't see one again. 😆) Back around my birthday in October, I had kind of claimed this next year as the "year I return to the gym", after falling out of it bigtime during the… Continue reading Back in gym (again)
This was a busy weekend!! I knew this was coming, so I was pretty mentally prepared for it. 😉 My parents were here for the weekend, too, specifically to watch the play performances. It was definitely full, but we had some nice chunks of downtime, too. This is the first we've seen my parents since… Continue reading Weekend in pics
