That last paragraph…that’s the crux of everything. There is no such thing as a perfectly executed plan. Something always happens that we don’t anticipate. It’s how we respond to those situations that makes or breaks our end-goal.

I think you’ve got a pretty good attitude about it all.

Good luck with your first week of school!

Happy Sunday, Maria!

I will be eagerly awaiting to hear about your triumphant return to Planet Fitness. 😉

Woot! I think with as many steps as you get each day, the 5k training will be a breeze. Just to let you know how I’m approaching it, I am just adding whatever they say to do for a day atop the walking I was already doing. I figure if I do that, then I am truly challenging myself. I hope that helps!

Good luck with everything. You’ve been handling…[Read more]

Your enthusiasm makes me smile 🙂

Look at you! So efficient!

Ok just because I’m nosey…what are the meals you’ve planned?

I love that you’ve had such a good day. THANK YOU for sharing it!

Ugh this is so ANNOYING! I wrote a whole response and POOF! My Safari app quit. Bah!

Anyhoo…

Mannnn I been a bit crazy! Got a promotion but still have a foot in my old job. Which has been a bit nuts. We are an international emergency response org and so both my current jobs (Staff Writer and social marketing manager) get nuts during things…[Read more]

LOL. I don’t know if you thought that I was going to oppose this message, but I totally agree! Unfortunately this week I’ve been dealing with two instances of massive flooding on either side of the world at ye olde day job: one that people care about and one that people barely know about. So I’m actually just pretty proud of myself that I was able…[Read more]

Busy morning!

Thank you for keeping me accountable!

The Y has not happened yet. I’m not even gonna lie. But I’m thinking tomorrow is a good day to go. Nothing at all going on tomorrow. 🙂

I dunno what’s up with me today but I have been LEGIT hungry all day!

Usually I try to honor my body when I get like this by doing things like nuts and veggies.

But this is annoying so I’m about to bring out the big guns. Yes, friends. I’m about to eat a Quest Bar.

Otherwise I’ve had a breakfast sandwich and my tilapia with fire roasted…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep!

Bev it’s been so nice hearing about your days in the daily thread. I’m glad we got you sorted out about that!

How are things going this week?

Robin, my sweet Robin…

Mid-week sweep!

I know you’ve been cleaning furiously, trying to use up freezer food. Is there any news yet? How are you managing? I hope that you’re able to cope with the stress well. I know you already know that you can vent here as much as you want. I hope that’s helpful at least.

Mid-week sweep!

You’re back from vacay. Are things going well? Are you settling back into your routine? Inquiring Nikkis want to know! 🙂

Mid-week sweep!

First off, I’m stoked I “beat you to it.”

But secondly, how is the week going? I hope the stress is manageable. I think you’ve been handling it brilliantly.

And remember that you are a rockstar in all facets of life – but especially to me. 🙂

Mid-week sweep!

Ok so today is the day before back to work. How do you feel? Are you prepared?

I think you have a sound plan. Just remember to be FLEXIBLE! If somethings not working, post about it here. We’ll think it out together!
