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

A recap: week of 8/6 workouts
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
A recap: week of 7/31 workouts
Shall I try this again?? It was both fun and motivating to write a workout recap last week, so here's round 2! Monday I started out the week in a bit of a stupor after having been away most of the weekend. I felt good, just kind of groggy and slow. No early morning walks… Continue reading A recap: week of 7/31 workouts
A recap: last week’s workouts
Since I'm trying to re-establish my consistency in the gym after a wonky summer so far, I thought it might be motivating to share a workout recap. This format is 100% inspired by Jenny's weekly workout recaps (which I love). (I love her blog in general. I don't know how it wasn't on my radar… Continue reading A recap: last week’s workouts
No Gym Fridays
I am trying to get back to consistency with my workouts, but I had a little revelation this week: The gym doesn't really fit in very well on Fridays. This is kind of one of those things where I kept trying to force a square peg into a round hole. *I should clarify- the gym… Continue reading No Gym Fridays
New life mantra??
Thanks to anyone who read my epistle of a life update the other day. LOL. Things are slowly feeling a little more "normal" this week, but I think I have come to understand that summertime is always going to feel sort of like a hot mess for me. The reality is just that with the… Continue reading New life mantra??
Flexibility: a question
I have a question about flexibility. And no, not flexibility as in what I might normally talk about in this space- the flexibility to work from home, or work/life balance, or things like that. I am literally talking about flexibility, of your body. Is it actually possible to really improve flexibility??? I feel like I… Continue reading Flexibility: a question
Week in review/ workouts going strong
It always boggles my mind how the same thing can sometimes feel either SO hard or SO easy. I think this is because I'm really quite an all-or-nothing person. So when I'm "in" on something (mentally, I guess), it can seem quite easy. But when I'm "not in", it can feel impossible. This past week… Continue reading Week in review/ workouts going strong
Workout update + a couple gym things
I haven't really been talking much about workouts lately here, but I'm still working out. Still primarily doing strength training as my main form of exercise, aiming for 5 times per week ideally (though I don't always hit 5). I walk "most" days for ~20-60 minutes, as I can. Formal, higher intensity cardio has not… Continue reading Workout update + a couple gym things
February/ time constraints/ missing workouts: a time block explanation
It is definitely February. Obviously- you all know this. But what I mean is that that new year window of January is most decidedly over for me. See, January always tends to be a "lull" month around here. Probably not for everyone, but in my current life, January is always pretty chill. Just not usually… Continue reading February/ time constraints/ missing workouts: a time block explanation
