❓ What is this? It's a bigger picture way to describe what you're doing these days. The about page for the movement describes it best:
Think of what you'd tell a friend you hadn't seen in a year.
Honestly, I've got quite a lot of things I'd say given that most of my college buddies live far way, and we've moved out Charleston in recent years.
With that in mind, here's what I'm doing /now.
💪 Still making progress on improving my health. Down 18(❗️) pounds since mid-February. Honestly, I could be doing better than that if I can clean up my diet. It's better than it was, but there's room for improvement. I think I might be stretching my indoor walking workouts about as far as I can stand for now. Not from being worn out or anything, but just from getting bored at some point. I tried an AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) style ten-minute workout the other day, and I am still currently paying for it two days later with a ton of soreness. Oh well, we move on!
🧑🧑🧒🧒 Got through both kids birthdays, and it's almost time for school to start back. I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to having the house to myself again for WFH. Did a big party at Chuck E Cheese for my daughter, and took a 3 day vacation to Great Wolf Lodge for my son's birthday. We also managed to sneak in a Six Flags trip.
🏗️ Still working on website stuff. Lost a lot of momentum on this site once a lot of the basics were done (combined with leaving everything behind for vacation for a week, see below). My media diet app is still getting most of the love. I'm about 50% through adding a "Wrapped" feature to showcase what I watched/read in a given month. I've been finding a lot of edge cases and bugs that I've missed, so those have taken precedence (not that anyone cares because it's made just for me, I just want it to be amazing).
🌴 Went on vacation! Spent a week at Edisto with my side of the family. Probably had a better time over there than I've had in previous years due to working on my anxiety this past year. Also helps that my kids were another year and older and just a little easier to manage. Felt like I did a pretty good job letting small things go and making sure everyone had fun. Lost at rummy like I always do, but I did finish two books in a week which is very uncommon for me.
I mean, honestly, who can have a bad time with this view? 😍
