week in review: my relaxation looks different than yours

Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. After that 16-mile hike last Sunday, I was exhausted on Monday, so I only worked 11 hours or so. Then went home and slept a solid 4 hours…got up briefly, and went back to bed. #noguilt Did my usual W/F work… Continue reading week in review: my relaxation looks different than yours

week in review: it is what it is

Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. Last week, I: Worked 39 hours in 3 days at the day job. WHY can’t people just do their job, instead of blaming their inability to get things done on other people? Seriously. I got in two workouts, 20-minutes on the… Continue reading week in review: it is what it is

I need (food) therapy

I have a very…erratic…relationship with food. Sometimes, I’ll be on point, meal-prepping and gung ho to eat healthy like it’s going out of style. Other times, the slightest whiff of stress or hunger and I’ll rip into greasy fast food like it’s the last meal on earth. There is no in-between, no balance. That’s not… Continue reading I need (food) therapy

planning my week (a necessity for my sanity right now)

I’ve gotten a little off-track this week with food and exercise (where “off-track” means either I haven’t done it at all–exercise–or I’ve been severely slacking for the past two days–food). So I need to get it together today, and get my week planned out, as far as food and exercise goes. I try to plan… Continue reading planning my week (a necessity for my sanity right now)

knowing better, but doing it anyway

Apparently, I do not learn from my mistakes. I’m a smart person. I should know better than to do things I know are going to end badly. (Ha. Hahahahaha. “Should” being the operative word.) Anyway, Enough about my personal faults. (We don’t have time to get into them.) So, I went out to eat with… Continue reading knowing better, but doing it anyway

two things…well, really three

Two things: 1) I ate non-vegan last night for the first time in two weeks and I can tell such a difference in how I feel. Yesterday was my mom’s birthday, and Bubba took us all out to dinner to celebrate. Eating vegan would have been practically impossible at the home-cooking-style restaurant he chose, so… Continue reading two things…well, really three
