I made my Mexican lasagna for my lunch this whole week. It just makes things easier to have the same thing every day. Takes the guess work out of it. We had nachos on Monday (I made mine the healthy version). We've also been enjoying the panko breaded tilapia fillets from Trader Joes with some veggies. Simple and quick is what we're all about here.
What I'm reminiscing about:
Last year's snow days. We had so many. I remember waiting by my phone and constantly checking the school website for cancellations. We haven't even had a hint of snow here. I miss cuddling on my couch and binge watching Netflix with my dogs in my pajamas.
This may seem weird, but I'm loving getting up at 4:15 or 5:30 in the morning. If I choose to do an AM workout, I'm up at 4:15 so I have time to have a little quiet time before heading to my 5 AM workout. If I choose a PM workout, I'm up at 5:30 so I have some quiet time before getting ready for work. Right now, I'm really liking the 4:15. I feel so much better throughout my day. I'm thinking about making it a daily habit.
What we've been up to:
Mr. B and I have started a consistent workout routine. We joined up with Camp Gladiator to get in full body workouts with certified trainers. It's something we can do together. This helps with accountability. We can encourage one another. The couple that sweats together, burns fat together.
Testing at school. The amount of testing that I do in first grade is insane. I feel like I'm doing more testing and teaching on how to take the test than I am on the actual concepts. It's a long process. I feel once I finish that I barely have time to meet with groups for a week or two before I'm back at testing once again. #thereisaidit
What I've been working on:
My February planning. What!? Yeah, I've spent some serious time detailing things going on in February in my Erin Condren planner. January was boring with black pen and pencil. This upcoming month I added colorful markers and motivational quotes to get my excited. Yeah, I'm a nerd. But I'm a proud nerd!
What I'm excited about:
I'm getting ready to start my 21 Day Fix next week. I'm excited to get my eating back in check. I didn't get the most favorable lab results back from my doctor. I'm looking to make more changes to my diet to get that under control. I'm excited for recovery week at Camp Gladiator. I think I'm going to do a boxing session Tuesday morning. I saw a Zumba workout one day, but I don't think that fits in my time schedule. I guess I'm just excited about continuing on my health journey.
What I'm watching/reading:
I'm still recording Hallmark Channel romance movies every Saturday. Other than that, I'm watching the Bachelor (because I love me some Ben Higgins) and Downton Abbey. I finally finished "The Husband's Secret" a few days ago. Took me long enough. Now I'm trying to catch up on my vampire series by Bella Forest. I also need to figure out what I'm going to do in February for my reading challenge from Modern Mrs. Darcy.....
What I'm listening to:
I've added a few podcasts to my load:
My #1 podcast will probably always be "The Popcast" with Knox McCoy and Jamie Golden. Today's episode had me laughing out loud. The uncomfortable truths about pop culture....think your guilty shame in the pop culture world. Mine: I don't do Harry Potter or Star Wars, but I will do any and all things vampire. I loved the Twilight series. I owned a "Team Edward" shirt and wore it to the midnight premiere of Twilight back in 2008.
Other podcasts I love:
- The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey
- Around the Table
- What Should I Read Next with Anne Bogel from Modern Mrs. Darcy
- The Most Dramatic Podcast in Bachelor History
- Serial
What I'm wearing:
Whenever I can, I will rock leggings, boots, and either a sweater, dress, or long tunic. I'm all about cute and comfy. I will also take advantage of a jean day at work anytime I can get it.
What I'm doing this weekend:
I'm so excited for Friday night because it's the annual singing at Westside Church of Christ in Irving. 2 hours of singing praises to our Lord. I'm a girl who loves to sing! I look forward to this event every year. Saturday will be grocery shopping, reading, and Hallmark Channel. Sunday will look very similar with the addition of worship service.
What I'm looking forward to next month:
My chunky dunky is turning 1 on the 24th!!!! We are going to Lubbock to celebrate his birthday (and get our taxes done). We go to Lubbock the 3rd weekend in February every year because I just can't go to any other bookkeeper for my taxes. She's been doing them since I was 16. Now I have a double reason for going.....Jude the Dude's birthday!
Cooper and I have joined up to Camp Gladiator. We've made a 12 month commitment to our journey. We are in love with it. This is the last week of our first camp. I thought I would have to suffer from withdrawals during the off week. Turns out, they still have a modified schedule for BOLD members. The workouts are just less intense....more fun. Oh, the excitement!!!!
What is you favorite Valentine treat:
You know, I can always go for a good box of chocolates. There isn't a bad chocolate in my opinion. You could also tempt me with some chocolate covered strawberries, and I won't complain. I'll ask for forgiveness later (or pay for it by doing burpees)!
