It’s the MOST Stressful Time of the Year…
One of the major responsibilities of my job is to publish an annual report on or before October 1 every year. If you’re keeping score (or if you have a countdown widget on your phone), I had 25 days left to publish as of today. My desk, admittedly, is never 100% clear, but now? It…

Starting Over is Hard
While my mind knows I should never stop because starting over is the hardest part, I never have been the best listener. After working a side hustle that kept me from my usual gym schedule, I had fallen completely off the wagon. When I left the side hustle in December, it STILL took me a…

How Much Is Your Time Worth?
Time may be finite, but I certainly try to bend the rules and cram as much as humanly possible into 24 hours. Sometimes this works, but eventually energy and motivation wane and the basics necessary for comfortable living take a hike. Namely, household tasks like laundry, meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning become exhausting…

Whole 30 — Day 08 and 09
I was asleep by ten o’clock last night, so blogging didn’t happen. Tonight, I won’t be far behind that mark. This Whole 30 is really weird. I’m still on the plan, even with not making all my own meals. But, it’s so weird. I have absolutely no appetite. None. Nada. Nope. I wasn’t really hungry,…

Whole 30 — Day 06
Day 6 means the Whole 30 is 1/5 done. Can I do this five more times? I’d be lying if I said that today weren’t the first day in recorded history that I drove past Sonic with my window down and actually smelled the waffle cones/sugary sweetness of something forbidden. I should say, though, that…

Whole 30 — Day 05
Today was harder. I failed to plan which left me ravenous by the end of the day. My bad. It was so ridiculous that I didn’t even go to the door when the Schwan’s man came. I hid. Because I knew if I opened that door and he was the only thing between me and…

Whole 30 — Day 04
It was a nice Sunday for my oldest, the pooches and I. We woke to the awesome smell of marinara that bubbled away most of the night. We both slept super late–we totally deserved it! Ha. Our plans were pretty subdued–she needed new school pants, so we had a trip to the mall on our…

Whole 30 Day 01
Day 01 of my Whole 30 is in the books. My goal is to be asleep by 10:30 tonight. We shall see. Today wasn’t easy. My daughter had soccer from 9-11 am and I then had to rush to work. I have so much happening at work right now, it’s unreal. I somehow managed to…

Whole 30 Day 0
Because beginning a Whole 30 challenge in my house isn’t as easy as just going to the pantry, I have to have a Day 0 to prepare. My oldest and I raided the produce section at the local market tonight and I’ve been in the kitchen since cleaning and prepping vegetable, making my favorite Whole…
