Yay for playing your harp! My aunt is a harpist and it takes her an hour just to tune the darn thing :P Yeah, my fingertips got pretty raw from pressing down the strings on the neck of the guitar (I use a guitar pick). I need to build my callouses back up, but I’ll try soaking them, thanks! :)

I must try the yogurt with protein powder. That sounds yummy.

I am all about breakfast foods for dinner these days…and seem to be having my “main” meal at lunch. Awesome job with your goals! I did about 10 minutes or my harp too…though I spent 2 hours stringing it. Was it the skin hurting from plucking the strings? Soaking your fingertips in a little surgical spirit can help with that. I need to do that whenever I go back to playing after a while.

I know, eh? Where does the time go!! It helps that we live in different cities, so it probably reeeally only adds up to 2 years actually spent hanging out :P

Fret not Holly, I’ve already got my three yoga classes penciled in for this week – including tonight, yayyy! :D (my legs definitely need it after that spin class :P )

I love your goals–especially having fun with workouts and getting more sleep! I need work on both of those!

Your pancakes always look so perfect. Whenever I make protein pancakes they never turn out :(

Oh, I’ve been meaning to ask you about your job! I really hope you find the PERFECT one, soon! But in the meantime, just relax and enjoy yourself…being anxious ain’t gonna find you a job!

Ah, what am I saying, you’re already doing so well! I’m glad you’re still making goals for yourself, and challenging yourself!

is it bad i can’t remember my goals? :)

ummm the one thing i can say…is where is that yoga girl?!?!

glad your goals are doing well…i think i really need to sit down and hammer some out, but things are crazy and sometimes putting undue pressure on myself only drives me nuts. so i will probably go for the cliche new years resolutions come january!

love youuuu

Well, one of my goals was to get to do well (whatever that may mean for me) on my 10k and I’d say I did that at my race yesterday. My other goal was to be kinder to myself with my eating and workout schedule in my post-bootcamp living…and I haven’t been doing so well at that. I need to work on some things out from here on out but I’m learning that it really is a journey not a destination…and realizing that, at least, is something :-)

I forgot what my goals were. Oops.

It’s been a productive month, though–I figured out my lung issue, did a bunch of wedding stuff, and ran my 8K. So, that’s something!

And holy cow, four years???? Congrats!

I love chocolate yogurt with protein powder! So, so good. And the pancakes for dinner look amazing. Good choice ;) It sounds like your generally doing really well with your goals!

Big props on goal accomplishment for the week–all you can do is go day to day, week to week, and it sounds like you had a great week! I love breakfast for dinner and have to get the guts to make something like those pancakes at some point in my life…lookin’ good.

Fun week ahead! I love short work weeks and unfortunately, this is not one of them :( Grrrr

Marshmallow fluff in the brek cookie? I love you!
Not at all healthy, but hey, it’s vegan :) Seriously…I love it and someday if I am feeling really adventurous I will try that.
