New Work Out

  Hello and welcome! It's Friday! We made it to the end of the week! I hope everyone has a lovely and safe weekend. 

Today I will be writing about my new workout plan. I am in no way any kind of trainer or even in shape for that matter, but this is the simple workout of a retail pharmacist, who's always tired, doesn't have any children yet, and wants to look and be healthy.

With my new work schedule, I am able to work out more days per week because I have more shorter shifts. I would MUCH rather workout on a day that I worked than one of my days off. My days off are for doing literally anything else, i.e. going to the beach, going shopping, getting my hair done, going out with friends. 

Right now, I try to work out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I do weightlift exercises, usually an upper body or lower body work out, alternating the two and I finish up with an ab workout every time. My workouts are never longer than 45 minutes, but I am sweaty and sore afterwards. Sometimes after the workouts, I'll come home and walk my dogs around the neighborhood for about 20-30 minutes. 

This isn't really a lot of exercise, but it does feel right to me for now. I think with about 6 months of consistency, I'll start to fine tune the actual workout. It's very basic right now. I've been trying to increase my protein intake as well. I believe this will help me not only in the gym, but in everyday life. Everyone, especially young women, need protein. Every bodily process depends on it!

That's all for today, just a small health and wellness post. I will see you Monday for the LAST full week of August!

Have a great weekend!

Decor, Discipline, and Maybe even a Scented Candle๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ•ฏ️

  Good morning, reader! I feel a mindful essay coming on! Grab a coffee and maybe a notebook, because this essay has some numbered bullet points!  I have been thinking about discipline a lot lately. I feel like it goes hand in hand with attention span, self-awareness, and ambition. Is it becoming more and more rare? They say with smart phones, everyone's attention spans are diminishing. I have noticed this with myself sometimes. This is not a judgement- just an observation I've made about myself and the world around me. And I want to refine it for myself. I want to be disciplined so that I can live my dream life.  I am dedicating this post to 3 ways to be more disciplined in a world that has little to none. So, let's begin! 1. Why do you want this? I believe you should first recognize why you want to achieve something. Is it for your health? Is it for your career? Maybe it's less extreme than that. Maybe it's for your home to be decorated for Halloween. Whatever it ...

Spring Has Me Writing Again ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ’›

  It has been a while, but I am back! It is so nice to be typing here again. After a busy fall, a holiday season that didn't slow down for a minute, and the harshest winter I've ever lived through, I finally feel like I can breathe, and write, again. I will do a quick recap of my life and then explain my plans for the future of this blog.  So, since my last post was in October, life has been full. Here's a little peek at what's been happening behind the scenes: 1. My cousin's wedding was a success! It was beautiful and now they are actually pregnant!!! I can't wait to meet their baby girl.  2. Thomas and I were fortunate to be a part of our friends' engagement that took place in Boston in December! It was so much fun celebrating the two of them and surprising the bride to be! Now I am excited to help her plan their wedding for next year! 3. I'm changing my career from retail pharmacy to hospital inpatient pharmacy! I start in exactly 3 weeks from today. ...
