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.

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: from NOLA, with love

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.

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

things I’ve enjoyed this week

I have fifteen tabs—exactly, no exaggeration—on my browser right now. Mostly things I’ve read and enjoyed, or things I want to try. One Nat Geo video that I loved. A few things I found intriguing this week: –this rather complex article about the correct order to apply skin care products in. (Um…I’d have to write… Continue reading things I’ve enjoyed this week

week in review: conquering my fears

Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. This was kind of a crazy week. Or, at least it felt crazy. I worked…I don’t know, somewhere around 45 hours this week. 15 1/2 of those hours were Friday. Yeah…My feet still hurt. Even more when I followed up on… Continue reading week in review: conquering my fears

week in review: races

Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. I survived the week. This is a huge accomplishment. And I took quite a few pictures. Work was work. I ended up working a short (10-hour) day Wednesday because bad weather/sleet moved in, and we sent the patients home early for… Continue reading week in review: races

week in review: getting by

Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. It’s been a week. On one hand, that says it all. Just a really long week. Like, I’m just tired. There’s been a lot going on. But, I: -worked around 45 hours at the day job, in 3.5 days. -escaped the… Continue reading week in review: getting by

what my running motivation looks like on any given day

Linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons to talk about my running motivation–or lack thereof. Actually, I’m just trying to motivate myself into finishing the other half of my homework and getting a run in, since I was too swamped on Tuesday to run (bad runner, I know). These are the stages of my… Continue reading what my running motivation looks like on any given day
