CHECKING-IN // Jan. 30th

With a half hour left in my prep period at work and papers all graded and entered into the grade-book, I wanted to snag a second to check-in with y’all about my last post and my protein adventure! ♥So, week one and done and two days into week two on my protein journey! It’s such an easy plan to follow and makes prep the night before flyyyy by, especially when you’re trying to be in bed by 9:45PM (I wake up tooooo early, y’all)!

I haven’t gotten hangry, I’ve been super dedicated to following the plan, and this week, I’m stepping up my workouts even more than last week.

Last week, the Hubs and I babysat the cutest lil’ baby and still managed to get a workout in! It was so surreal…me and the baby in the stroller, the Hubs with Syn on a leash power walking along with me…I die.

Anyways, I’m not sure what’s up with my mindset right now, but I’ve been a bit swamped with my night school Master’s courses along with preppin’ and plannin’ for teaching during the day. I try to write it out and stay organized, but this week, instead of allowing myself to be stressed out by everything that seems to be overwhelming me, I’m working on focusing at the task at hand, setting small, manageable goals, and being thankful for the little things!

Make sure you’re following me on Insta for some micro-blogs on my posts there! I feel like that may alleviate some of the pressure I put on myself, and I’ll save more of my formal posts for here!

Yikes, sorry all. I feel like I’m using this post to vent it out so I can flow with my plans easier, so if y’all have any suggestions–i.e. less posts on here, more posts on Insta, less on Insta, more posts on here…vlogging on Insta…?

I just feel like Instagram is calling me and it’s so much more easier for me to interact and respond and write and vlog daily in my Insta-Stories versus planning a huge post on here, maintaining working on my sequel, teaching, writing papers for my Master’s, research, and on and on and on…

Hmmm, well…tell me what you think, loves. I’m game for anything! I just feel like the Universe is trying to tell me something: whether that means scaling back on the information I put out there, focusing on a smaller, more interactive audience, focusing solely on writing and giving the blog a break…#idk

Help a sister out, loves!

I appreciate it. And so does my brain, who clearly needs more caffeine and last week’s episode of Riverdale! 😉

I love you all. Thank you for reading–always.
