Well, today was not a bad mental health day but rather it was just a packed day with a full inbox everytime I opened it.

And then some issues around the house that popped up.

And then a pup who desperately needed a bath but we had no dog shampoo.

It was just things piling up one by...

So I have been going to my running class again, which is something I've missed so much since leaving Chicago.

The run isn't pretty. I still have a lot of issues with my knee, hip, and now my foot too, but the doctors and PTs have said to not stop, so I do what I can in class.

I wish...

This week, we also started adding in evening walks on the beach.

I know, I know. Whose life is this?!

Several months ago, I added in an evening walk if I didn't hit my step goal of 8000. Sometimes the walk was 5 minutes and sometimes 30. But oftentimes, I struggled to make it happen.

So what's...

I started Pizza Friday back in 2016 as a way to rebel against Whole30's strict rules around fun food.

Pizza Friday means you get to eat pizza, but you eat some of the pizza without eating all of the pizza.

How? How does one eat some of the pizza without eating all of the pizza?

Ah! Another post on this but it's important. This week has been kinda hectic with some travel and visits and just not the same routine I mostly enjoy.

And this is usually when things fall apart for people. They have to go on a trip. Or work gets hectic. Or family comes to visit. Or it's...

The fastest way to results is to keep taking daily action.

It's not sexy. It's not fun. It's not marketable.

Take action over and over again... How boring. 

But it's what works and what achieves the fastest results...

It's 11:22 pm tonight, and I just got home. I realized I didn't get a chance to blog yet, and today's blog made me realize I missed yesterday's blog. I think a lot times when we mess up, we think that messing up makes us a failure, so we give up. But messing up doesn't mean you're a...

On the days I don't want to take action, I think about:

1. What pain will I experience if I don't take action

2. What pleasure will I experience if I do take action

3. What's the SIMPLEST way I can take action

Taking action on the days you don't want to take action moves you forward....

When I started working from home in 2018, I was horrified to see how sedentary I had become.

Sure, I was still exercising and running, but walking throughout the day? Much less. I was no longer walking from my apartment to my car. No longer walking from my car to place of work. No longer...

Paul was laughing at me today because I was explaining the 3Rs to him, and he was like whhhhy do you have to make everything into an acronym and I was like I don't think 3Rs in a row are an acronym, they're just 3Rs... and also we need tools to move forward!

So the 3Rs. This is a tool I...
