Elevated Salad Tip
Add pickled red onions to your salad. Tastes like a $17 restaurant salad.
What can you get done on your worst day ever?
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...
Running on the weekends
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...
Weekend hikes for mental health
When we first left Chicago in October 2022, we first headed out to Lake Havasu for a month.
We did so much hiking that month.
It was literally a 6-minute drive from where we were staying.
We went hiking every weekend. I went a few times by myself. It was exactly what we...
Evening walks on the beach
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...
Evening workouts for stress relief
I struggle to get to the gym in the evening because there's no constant trigger like in the morning.
In the morning, the trigger is waking up and the action is working out.
In the evening, my work day ends at different times and in different ways... it's not always the same.

Just got this email from a client, and I'm just so happy.
To not have willpower.
To not feel the need to binge.
To not have to throw food out to feel safe.
Amazing.
Creating a life you actually enjoy
I've been reflecting on the last 12 months. We left Chicago a year ago, and so much has changed.
I'm so grateful to be living in a place I enjoy. Where I can walk outside and feel safe and actually want to be outisde.
I'm so grateful to be so close to the ocean. We gave up having a large...
Getting back on track - recommitting to your system
I wrote some blogs over the past few days about falling off track last week and then getting back on track over the weekend.
Today was a Monday and a chance to start the week out the right way.
It felt great to wakeup and workout again.
It felt great to drink a green smoothie in the...
Getting back on track - setting your week up for success
Over the last few days, I've been writing about how my week was rough because of poor sleep ruining my mornings, falling off track, and then recommitting to taking a small action to get back on track.
As I look back on the last week, I know another reason things fell apart...
