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

stuff for runners (to read)

I read a ton of blogs:  food blogs, healthy living blogs, running blogs, organization/productivity blogs… I’ve found all sorts of tips, ideas, and inspiration from these blogs, and I love following along in the lives of these bloggers I’ve come to “know.” Reading blogs frequently gives me the motivation to make changes in my life… Continue reading stuff for runners (to read)

week in review: progress

Linking up with Meghan over at Clean Eats, Fast Feets, as an excuse for my rambling… This week, I: -only managed to read one book, Paula Poundstone’s The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happinness. An interesting read, just wasn’t what I expected. But I liked it. -survived the first week of my… Continue reading week in review: progress

week in review: cooking, cleaning, and challenges

Linking up with Meghan over at Clean Eats, Fast Feets. This week was fall break for me, and it’s been a pretty good week, apart from a near-meltdown at work last Monday. I got my grade for my Writing Commercial Fiction  class:  I made a 90! (Which is an A- at my school, not an… Continue reading week in review: cooking, cleaning, and challenges

gym mystery

I actually didn’t procrastinate around the house this morning for too long. (Busy. I was busy. Promise.) Instead, I did several things that needed doing, and one project that accidentally happened. (Went in the kitchen to put something away, and ended up clearing off most of the stuff on top of the cabinet and reorganizing… Continue reading gym mystery

living vicariously

…or, seeking inspiration in far-off places. For someone who barely watches TV, I’ve been watching a lot of it over the past week. The Olympics, of course. Volleyball and gymnastics are my favorite, but I’ll watch other things as well. Usually while repeating “How do they DO that?” The gymnastics have been astonishing. (Except for… Continue reading living vicariously

goals check-in

Since the year is more than halfway over (like, a month ago), I decided to do a brief re-cap of my progress on my personal goals for the year. They were: 1) Finish B.A. with all A’s. 2) Get to a healthy weight. 3) Run a half-marathon. 4) Continue to simplify. 5) Pay off Visa… Continue reading goals check-in

week in review:success, of a sort

Linking up with Meghan over at Clean Eats, Fast Feets to feel like I accomplished something for the week. Usually I have an overly ambitious idea of what I can get accomplished during the week. This week, I feel like I did much, much better at actually accomplishing what I wanted to. I tried something a… Continue reading week in review:success, of a sort

week in review: win some, lose some

Linking up with Meghan over at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for this one. Not sure what I accomplished this week, to be honest. Let’s see. I ate a lot of salad (which I forgot to take pictures of). Cooked zoodles with veggies and spaghetti sauce. Going meatless for the day, apparently, and possibly most of… Continue reading week in review: win some, lose some

week in review: busy every day

Linking up with Meghan over at Clean Eats, Fast Feets to get to listing. What did I accomplish this past week? Well… I worked 5 days/approximately 45 hours at the day job. (Since my awesome boss was leaving, he wanted everything shipshape before he left. Done and done. Sigh…) Went for lab work, a pulmonary… Continue reading week in review: busy every day
