This is a “sorta” mid-week sweep because some of your items aren’t due yet. I see you’ve been posting, which is great!

How are you feeling as your work life ramps up?

Mid-week sweep! How is everything going? Have you been avoiding grazing? How’s the walking going? And the planks? I hope you’re doing ok!

So for me:

• Finances: I don’t wanna talk about it. But I have an accounting software program called Xero for BF that I need to incorporate + I heard that Mint is a good app.
• Schedule: my old school planner book has been working fabulously.
• Ideas: Evernote! Seriously I need to do an Evernote training one of these days. It’s changed my life.

Kudos on the “early” bed time! I’m just so glad you’re back to posting. I really missed you.

I think you’ve made an important observation.

Since this is a change that’s not going away anytime soon, look at your routine and see what you can do to still be as organized as you want to be without being so stressed every day. I’d encourage you to think about “batching” things if you can. Batching is the process of taking one chunk of time to…[Read more]

Better than I really expected. Still stressed over my husband’s job situation but I think it will be at least next week before we hear about any more new developments.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I’m a bit late posting today. I think that I’m just running behind on everything.</p>
Steps and liquids (I really need to work on my liquids), cleaning out the home office (sometimes I feel like I will never finish) and a couple of quick errands.

Breakfast was a power crunch protein bar

It’s official. I’m cursed. I feel a bad cold coming on. Still I went to Zumba (had a hard time keeping up but I did it!)

Food:

• Cold Zoodle-sketti salad
• a lunchmeat roll up
• a power crunch bar

and I am about to take some Tylenol cold and say goodnight cuz my face hurts!

Stress is definitely starting to take a toll on my husband and I. He’s eating too much and everything I eat or drink makes me feel sick to my stomach. Where I used to get about five hours of sleep a night, in the last two weeks it’s dropped to three. If his work would just tell us what’s going on, I could handle whatever it is. It’s the not…[Read more]

I heart long posts. Especially ones as good as yours! Love everything you said.

Yikes! Food poisoning is no fun at all. I’m so glad you’re feeling better.

And great news about your injury! Now you can ease back into it without pain. That’s great news indeed.

I was just thinking about 9/11 myself this morning.

Today’s a repeat of last week’s days. I’m still working on cleaning out the home office. I was obviously being extremely optimistic to think I was going to finish it in a week.

Walking, push-ups and planks are on the schedule.

Heading to my local library to renew my card. Being in the process…[Read more]

End of week report back:

• Monday. 5k training happened.
• Tuesday: 5k cross training did not happen!
• Wednesday: 5k walking happened but not all at once like I planned. Still, I walked.
• Thursday: Ugh. That was a trying day. BF live didn’t go well. So I’m glad that it was a rest day so I could just go home and go to bed.
• Friday: Cross…

Awesome! The plan isn’t required. But nobody in the FNC is officially doing the 5k until everyone who needs to do the training does it cuz #NoFoodieLeftBehind.

So if the training plan isn’t doing it for you, that’s fine! Just make sure you’re prepped in your own way and ready to go when it’s time.

Great report-back! Onward!
