We had a really nice weekend! The main event for us was Asher's big Conference swim meet on Saturday, which is the beginning of the post-season for high school swim. They taper them to perform well at this meet, the boys all wear their fancy racing tech suits, etc. The meet was Saturday afternoon at… Continue reading The weekend, etc. + the internet gets me
I know a LOT of people who read this blog are huge readers. I pale in comparison to the majority of you, with my maybe 1-2 books a month average. Funny story: so my dad reads this blog (hi Dad 😘) and he often finds the comments to be very interesting. ("They're all just like… Continue reading When are you reading so many books?
January 31st! One whole month down of 2025. I mean, actually, this is pretty accurate! Haha. So far, I'm happy overall with my progress on my goals. Yes, as always happens, some of that New Year Energy started to wane a bit around the midway point. (Apparently January 10th is officially "Quitter's Day", i.e. when… Continue reading January 2025 recap
I'm really thrilled with my new year's workouts so far! So far I have hit 100% of my planned strength workouts (have completed 13 so far this month) and I'm especially proud of my CARDIO efforts! I've completed 9, but best of all, it feels like it's finally becoming more of a routine habit. As… Continue reading Happy with progress + showing up
Next up- my Health/Fitness goals! These are probably a little more boring, but important to me and I still like them. 1. Do 200 strength, 150 cardio and 50 yoga workouts this year. I originally had shared about this idea a few weeks ago, to zoom out and try to hit a yearly total instead… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Health/Fitness
Okay, I'm back with my Personal goals. I aimed to come up with 5 for each domain to hopefully total 25. (As a reminder, my domains are Personal, Health/Fitness, Kids/Family, Household, and Other). 1. Read 25 for 25 This came to me when I saw "Read 25 minutes in 2025" is Gretchen Rubin's public challenge… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Personal
(I have nothing spooky or freaky to share in this post, besides deciding to title it "Freaky Friday" because it's Friday the 13th. 😆) 1- IT'S BEEN A WEEK. Outside of work, it's actually been a nice week in many ways. 🟡 I went to both of Asher's VB games this week (Monday and Wednesday)… Continue reading Freaky Friday 5
Thank you to all of you chimed in and offered words of encouragement on my post about quitting soda! Truly, it means a lot to know I have people behind me! Today is DAY 3 and going great! I have had no thoughts at all of caving. I think obviously the public post helps a… Continue reading Thanks and quitting soda update + my replacement plans
Eek, this is a hard post for me to write. Buckle up, it's a looong one. I have a big confession. I have a very bad habit that I have never really delved into on this blog but am going to today! I've maybe hinted at it here and there, and people with an observant… Continue reading BIG CONFESSION time + a life-altering mid-year goal
May 15th today! Halfway point through May. SO, how's it going? Overall, not as bad as I thought, really. We have had to do a fair amount of picking and choosing/ skipping things, which in some ways I suppose is unfortunate, but also has helped wield down the number of things from this list. I… Continue reading How the month is going
GRATEFUL KAE
