Texan Tally

30 Days of Cold Showers… was it worth it?

My exercise routine wasn’t consistent enough to have anything I could really measure as far as physical improvement… but honestly, I could get used to these…

Figuring out how to be vegetarian at my restaurant job (when there are few or no options on the menu)

When overthinking drags you down, go for the simplest options when they’re free and do your own preferred thing on your own time (and money).

My right foot is making me take the day off… are there exercises that can strengthen your feet?

The questions we don’t think need asking until we’re confronted with injury… but I’m not the only one!

Taking the time to research: learning how to balance my macro nutrients as runs become longer…

When you typically want to tackle all the changes you can at once, it’s hard to slow yourself down and find the BEST way to achieve your goals in order to tweak the others…

Making my shopping list in preparation for going vegetarian…

There are a lot of factors at play to ensure I am successful in this dietary transition… and I can already tell finding the protein (and getting the appetite necessary to eat it) is gonna be the rough part.

I admit, I was rooting for the Thunder to win… but dammit!

So many game-turning injuries with star players have made this season crazy hard to predict winners. Haliburton was just the last, and it’s quite the upset whether you rooted for the Pacers or not.

Learning to Practice Self-Care

How do I practice self care? A notebook and pen… mostly.

Definitely NOT a TGIF feeling… or, the “mental health pity party” of today is going to pay off tomorrow.

The search for purpose and happiness sometimes ends up taking you through a tangled thicket that you get stuck in. Instead of feeling bad, backtracking and re-evaluating the point of your journey is more important than jumping right back in… lest the same mistakes occur.

Wasn’t expecting this bit of news… didn’t know they had a Mascot Hall of Fame til today.

Way to go, Toro, of my Houston Texans. I hadn’t started watching many of the vids til recently, but I love that the prankster just can’t help himself.

Week 4 Check-in: I still have much to learn and change for success…

While I wish I could say I got a great deal of exercise and some improvement in my run game, I found other challenges I’ll have to face to prevent injury or further backsliding from my goals.
