Yeah, so I haven’t blogged in like…I don’t know, almost two months, maybe? I was busy, but there wasn’t a lot going on, so it seemed kind of pointless to keep repeating: I worked, I did homework, I read, blah blah blah. So I stopped. But I’m trying to pick it back up again. Hopefully,… Continue reading update…
Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. The past two weeks have been full of more craziness. I’ll try to stick to the highlights. On May 31st, I drove down to New Orleans to see my Dad again—he was in rehab after surgery—and to celebrate the fifth anniversary… Continue reading week in review: from NOLA, with love
Linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons for Thinking Out Loud. -I made it through Halloween with no trick-or-treaters. This is a good thing for a couple of reasons: I do NOT need candy in the house, as I have little self control when it comes to chocolate. And some of the people who’ve… Continue reading thinking out loud: so many wrong things
Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of bullet journals. When I first heard about them, I was intrigued. I mean, I’m moderately obsessive about making lists and getting things done (Baby Brother is laughing right now), so a way to stay organized and keep an ever-changing to-do list in the same place… Continue reading my basic bullet journal
Linking up with Megan at Cleat Eats Fast Feets today. I’ve had pretty productive week. Not off-the-charts, not in the dumps, so it’s all good. This week, I… Worked 40+ hours at the day job. The usual beginning-of-the-month craziness. But I get a four-day weekend next week! Read two books, Trust by Kylie Scott and… Continue reading week in review: turning tides (I hope)
From July 6th of last year to around mid-October, I made huge changes in my diet and exercise routine (which had been mostly slim to none before that). I started running with the Couch to 5k app, cut out processed carbs for the most part, and lost 28 pounds, ran a 5k trail run, and… Continue reading weekly review: the truth hurts
Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the usual shenanigans. I don’t feel that I accomplished a whole lot this week, but let’s see. I finished reading The Long Run and The Rules of Half. Also wrote a post on the books I read in June. Finished a paper and a Powerpoint… Continue reading week in review: fashion police and pregnant coworkers
Linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons for this bit of randomness. Okay, not randomness. Not to me. Today, June 1st, is my four-year survival anniversary. Four years ago, I had a major stroke, without warning, and I almost died. The doctors pretty much said I’d die. Fortunately, they weren’t the ones in control.… Continue reading today is for gratitude (thinking out loud)
Six months ago, I ran six miles like it wasn’t a big deal. (Not like super fast or anything, but I ran it without stopping or passing out.) Then I was injured for 3 months. Then I started trying to run again, and life and laziness kept getting in the way. So, here I am… Continue reading when a mile feels like a marathon
Yesterday afternoon, my hip pain came back with a vengeance: a deep, angry throbbing in the muscles of my right upper thigh. After a hot bath, I put the heating pad on it for a while and finally went to sleep about midnight. When I woke up this morning, it had faded to a dull… Continue reading sidelined
