week in review: time off

Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats Fast Feets for the week in review. Last week, I: -only worked 2 days! (My “normal” workweek is MWF.) My awesome boss asked me on Monday if I wanted to take Friday off, because I was having my usual first-week-of-school anxiety, and I was all over that! So,… Continue reading week in review: time off

cheesy chicken & cauliflower rice poblano casserole

I’ve been meal-prepping for years now, and I just started following the keto diet a few weeks ago. I know carbs are a trigger food for me and I love sugar, so it just makes sense. I’ve done quite a bit of reading about it, and the research just makes sense to me on a… Continue reading cheesy chicken & cauliflower rice poblano casserole

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.

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

positivity gets results…I hope

It’s been a rough couple of weeks–or months–as far as effort I’ve put out for my health. I just did a 2-week sugar reset challenge with Megan at Skinny Fitalicious that motivated me to get my act together. We have about 15 1/2 weeks until the Grand Canyon hike, and I’m not even remotely ready!… Continue reading positivity gets results…I hope

week in review: wherein I try to hide my lack of accomplishments

Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. Once again looking at my planner to jog my memory… Last week, I: -went for a killer 6-mile hike at some new-to-me trails.

weekly update

I’ve really been struggling lately with the healthy eating/exercise thing. One day will be good, the next day will be horrible. Exhaustion. Busyness. Lack of motivation. I’m fighting all of that, all while being surrounded at work by people who never eat healthy–and my company likes to buy meals! Here lately, that’s been adding up… Continue reading weekly update

week in review: an unremarkable week

Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. Is it sad I have to look at my planner to remember what I did this week? Maybe a little.
