Strive for 5 (1/1-1/7)

As I ease back into blogging, I decided to pick 5 things to talk about until I am inspired to find relevance a niche. Here are 5 things I think I can commit to weekly to chat about on Sundays..

Reading: the book of John is my first study of the year. I am struggling with it being a part of my morning routine, though. This week back at work after 2 weeks of break was hard! I have been coming home in the evenings and reading, but I really desire to do this in the mornings before I leave. I need to pray about discipline…. and get up!

Battle tested.

As for my leisure, commuter reading/listening , I just finished ‘Leave the World Behind’. I watched the movie right after and actually liked it! Ruth was the daughter vice the wife and a few things that happened in the movie did not in the book but – I was entertained!

Eating: I took a break from homemade protein shakes this week. I have been on my Earth Chimp since school started back in July. Finding a perfect vegan smoothie still has not happened, so I am opened to tried and true options. I do want to try Ascent and Kachava next. But again, with the transition back to work ,convenience was king this week. I had Chipotle twice and paid for it brought a bagged salad and berries for lunch everyday. I do plan on making a few chickpea based recipes this week, so I’m a bit excited to try and hopefully lean heavily on those eats this week.

Weekday chips and dip 🤣
I kid, I eat Pop Corner White Cheddar daily.

Movement: my week was 20 min every morning at 6am of cycling on the Peloton and 10 minutes of strength right after. I hardly walked on my Peloton tread this week and did not use the Peloton guide at all. Again, getting back after having all the time to workout over break

My bike’s new corner upstairs since the tread moved in downstairs. Yes, this is how I ride in my room in complete darkness at 6 am with headphones because I am too polite.
It’s a gloomy Sunday… but my first walk of the New Year week!

Work/School: I survived. I did get a new student Friday in my resource math class and will have 2 more before month’s end.

My final class started (student teaching for my Master’s) so I dusted my MacBook off and headed to Press Coffee Saturday morning to get going.

Something New: I tried a few things this week but I’ll chat about this find that hopefully gets my temples growing again.

Def has no flavor and can go in anything so far!

I don’t really know anything about the brand, but I do know that my temples have been disappearing since moving to Arizona in 2018. Will use the bag and note any changes. My weekly selfie won’t be changing anytime soon!

Here’s to Week 1/52!
