Day 31/50 of #Project50 Let’s see how many of my goals I hit today 😅

Day 25/50 for #Project50 I’m not even sure how to put in words how much morning walks have started to change everything for me. An hour and a half of walking, breathing in fresh air, clearing my mind and listening to the sounds around me has started my days off in the best way possible. Every…

Day 23/50 of #Project50 I’ve been walking 10k steps almost every day that now it feels weird to not start my morning with a walk #ChangingMyLife

my new motto: Messy Doesn’t Help Mental Health To Do Before I Go Insane: -clean & declutter middle bed -clean & paint laundry room -clean & declutter end bed -install water filter middle bath -fill garden bed with cardboard from garage -add soil to garden bed -plant garlic -plant bulbs in cut…

Day 14/50 of #Project50 What I eat in a day, trying to get 100 grams of protein in! As an extra challenge in my project 50–I’m trying to get my 100 grams with Whole Foods, instead of with protein bars & protein powder! (Guilty of eating a protein bar for lunch instead of an actual lunch)
