Week 2: Monday - Wednesday   LoseIt: 🧁🧁🧁 Water: 🧁🧁 Read: 🧁 Movement: 🥖🥖 Tidy: 🥖🥖 Bake:    I'm struggling a little this week, in a way I normally don't hit until week 3. 😆 I think it has to do with the rain and my work schedule being a little different than normal - not so many meetings I can jump on the treadmill during. And with Matt back home to split up the bedtime/kitchen cleaning routine with, I haven't been great about tidying up in the evenings (the house is still in good shape at least). Also, not to tell on myself, but I've been giving over to doomscrolling a lot this week, and that's never productive for my mental health (literally didn't I just do an entire challenge fighting back against this? ugh).   Tonight I'm going to get my last 1000 steps in by tidying up the house and then settle in with a book for the evening. Hopefully tomorrow the sunshine and good weather will bring better results.

right?? But I’m walking away and I felt protected and safe in my decision.    solidarity sister. Dairy hated me today.    thank you!!

No. Just.... no. Nope.     Whether a hair color looks flattering or unflattering with someone skin tone depends on the undertones of both. This is where the cosmetics world start talking about warm and cool shades of a color, and wants to match the warm ones with yellow complexion undertones and the cool ones with pink complexion undertones. (For the record, a skilled hair stylist can and will steer you towards shades that are more flattering for your skin tone and overall coloring, while taking your personal style into account as much as they can. There are also thing that can be done to make the root growth fade into the color, but it tends to cost more and is difficult to do well. I usually don't bother.)   Definitely cancel future appointments with this one. In fact, if you can find a color you can live with until you are in Munich, you will only need to go through the stress of dealing with a new hair stylist. Word of caution: A lot of home/box colors do not play nice with professional salon products, and applying the expensive professional stuff on home/box colored hair often does not end well at all. Not a recommended combination.

Fair enough. To each our own, as we need and want.  

Happy that you have clarity!

I cannot wear mix-matched socks,  because all of my socks match.  I do wear mix-matched nail polish.  Ice-cream should have lots of stuff in it. Tin roof sundae is good.  Phish food. Marionberry Pie... now I want Cold Stone 😢  

Are we talking Charleton Heston as Long John Silver with baby Christian Bale as Jim? Or did you intend to say Treasure Planet? 😉 Both are solid, as is Muppet Treasure Island. 😆

I have officially paid off the credit card I used to purchase coaching! It took less than a month to pay it off and I saved $87 doing it that way ($100 off for lump sump vs monthly minus interest due for the 24 days I held a balance. My next paycheck only has to cover, bill-wise, one loan ($209.77), the pet insurance ($63.16 and change), and AAA insurance ($27) since the money for truck payment has already been set aside. Otherwise it will be groceries (which I have 2 additional mouths to feed after next week), setting money aside for our annual vacation in mid-June (5 days, 2 of them will be traveling), paying ahead bills so I have a bit more wiggle room during vacation and don't have to worry about paying bills, and then anything extra towards debt!   I'll likely set aside a bit extra for the vacation since we got a BnB with T and Kers (and Gigi and their 2 kids) so there will be a grocery haul. T and Kers are rather bougie when it comes to food and 3 days of food for 9 people can easily cost nearly $2,000 when they're involved. Plus, activities! I want to cover as much as I can without the Man's help since this trip is centered around Father's Day and his birthday (along with T and Kers' kids birthdays). But I'm feeling a lot better about this year's vacation than I have since we started this annual trip back in 2020. 

20 burpees - 🐝   Had to break it up in two sets of 10, with pauses between the later reps in each set, but I did them!   But that's the last time I'll remark on a string of relatively "easier" exercises... 

Yup, anthro or animal drawring (in your case it would be canine, wolf or hyeana) tutorials are what you want to google.    i have borrowed a few off google (please note none of this is my art and because im an idiot forgot to write the artist names down) As you can see, your essentially drawring a box attached to the front of the circular head shape. Everyone has their own style of doing this so i found a few different examples to give you an idea, but there are a ton out there.
