Protein + Fiber After an extremely loose summer + lots of travel, I finally jumped back on the "high protein and fiber" train last week. I never was totally off the train, but was kinda hanging off the back of the caboose... "Protein and fiber" are definitely having their moment in society right now, and… Continue reading Back on the protein/fiber train + quitting soda update #6
Since I've been making a more concerted effort to do more intentional monthly planning this year, I really think I'm seeing some benefits! I know I would still do "things" without specifically setting aside time to do an actual planning session, but I feel a bit more centered and in control this way. A little… Continue reading Some monthly planning wins!
I was listening to Emma's weekly episode on EmPowered Radio, titled "Dieting with Strategy vs Urgency (Is your Summer Body actually achievable by summer) the other day and thought it had some good points. First of all, the episode does not imply that anyone NEEDS to want a "summer body". Your body is already a… Continue reading Consistent healthy habits
My main Health/ Fitness goals for January were: 1. Go to 1 Core class at my gym (30 minutes). ✅ I went to 2! I found that I can squeeze in the 8:05-8:35 class on Fridays before work. I have a standing 9:15 Friday meeting, so I can shower before the class (it's not a… Continue reading Fitness Goals for February
Dang it, totally forgot to post yesterday! I ruined my NaBloPoMo streak. Oh well… I spent 2.5 hours Sunday morning cleaning out my email which had somehow ballooned to a total of 1,100 emails. Ugh. My personal email has been more and more of a problem lately. I don’t really like deleting things on my… Continue reading Forgot about yesterday…plus some quick thoughts on email and sleep
*Don't worry, this isn't a body image post.* But I'm currently feeling so frustrated with my body! I just feel like I'm way too young to suddenly have all these physical ailments, especially when I'm a supposedly "healthy" person who exercises and is active and does all the right things. (Could my diet probably be… Continue reading Frustrations with my body
My Monday: Yesterday was a rare day in that I didn't have any scheduled meetings. That is THE BEST. My old job actually rarely had meetings (was very solo work oriented, back then), and I didn't realize how much I took that for granted. It was a peaceful day and I was able to catch… Continue reading Monday- tired but good + medical mystery
As you know, Ethan's done with school, and Asher is off today and Monday for the long Memorial Day weekend. Ivan and I both work today, but have Monday off. YAY!!! We, quite gloriously, have no big plans, though I always like to use this "bonus holiday" weekend for part "getting things done" and part… Continue reading Upcoming long weekend, travel planning and Whole 30 Day 4
Ethan is DONE!! He had his last 2 finals yesterday and was home by 1 pm. Here's his 1st Day vs Last Day pic! (I didn't catch him before school for a pic, and when he got home, he put on PJ pants and settled in to video game for a while... lol. I made… Continue reading School’s out (!) and Whole 30 Day 3
I don't want this "Whole 30" thing to take over my blog for the next couple weeks, as I realize there may be varying levels of interest! I also know that talk of diets + restricting in any way could be triggering for some people. But, I also think some people might be interested! And… Continue reading Whole 30 Update: Days 1-2
