Instead of doing nothing at all, just do something small.
Walking with your mom
Yay, finally! I went on a morning walk with my mom. Back in the early days of the pandemic, my mom and I started walking together. She was in te burbs, and I was in Chicago, but every morning, we'd head out, hop on the phone together, and walk.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Well, I wasn't expecting to wake up to snow, but here we are.
It was still great to get outside. Just had to wear a coat, boots, hat, gloves, and a scarf. It's the California weather I love, but I'll survive.
What to do when you achieve your goal
I am listening to an audio book to help me work on my goal of squatting and deadlifting 200lbs, and in one chapter, she suggested signing yourself up for a competition or buying yourself something for achieving the goal.
And I've done those things in the past. They were fine.

Over the years, I've learned that when you miss a day, the BEST thing you can do is just show up again the next day.

When you're eating too much sugar...
I made a podcast here about this topic but wanted to write a quick blog!
You may think you have an issue with eating too much sugar. You're not alone. Lots of people do. So what have you tried in the past? Cutting out sugar, right?
When I chat with people who eat too much sugar, I find...
Our Weekend Ritual
A couple months ago, I was feeling kinda blah about our weekends because we weren't doing much. Sleeping in, and that was kinda it.
We decided to start hiking again. Nothing crazy. Nothing far. Just an hour hike here and there.
It's become something I look forward to on weekends. A...
