First Week (7/100)

My first week last week on the 100-day challenge. WORKOUT CHALLENGE: I closed all my three rings 5 days out of 7. WRITING CHALLENGE: I wrote at least 750 words everyday except yesterday, Sunday. I’m utterly failing on the “reading daily” side. If I don’t do better this coming week, I’m going to drop that […]

More sleep, finally.

I made myself wake up late today. I went to bed at 3am last night because now I’m back watching The Crown on Netflix, which is interesting enough to me without stressing me out. I’m nearing the end of the second season after going through season 1 again. I’m so bad at remembering movies and […]

Just a little better at sleep. (5/100)

Even though I lacked a lot of sleep, I made it through the day with all my writing goals and closed all my Activity rings on my watch. My schedule of working out at night seems to work well with me. Last year, I worked out with my eldest daughter 4 times a week over […]

Need more sleep. (4/100)

Yesterday was successful but I only got 2 hours of sleep last night. I stayed up too late completing my writing pieces and in between finishing them up, I watched a bit of The Crown on Netflix. I had to get up before 5:30 this morning for a book club with some folks in India […]

Sore AF (3/100)

I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t close all my rings for my activity yesterday. Of the three, I failed the Stand ring, only because I took a 3-hour nap late in the afternoon. Time was against me, even as I avoided sitting down and doing cardio in the evening. It was just not going to […]

Another hike, another coyote.

Yesterday was a rest day for my regular workout, so I had to figure out another way to crunch those numbers. I went for a hike with my daughter at an open space preserve, and we saw a coyote again, our second time. Looked to be the same one we saw a couple of weeks […]

Still going. (2/100)

I completed all my tasks yesterday, although I thought I would put off my workout last night. I skewed my schedule by taking an hour’s nap right before dinner. I woke up tired and lazy. I had a little bit of dinner then forced myself to work out while the kids were put to sleep. […]

Of course, it went well. (1/100)

That went well yesterday. There are some habits I want to establish in my everyday life, and I started up (again) yesterday with a few of them. My plan is to take on the 100-day challenge for the following: close all rings on my Apple Watch read 10 pages write 750 words publish a post […]

Minimalism starts from mayhem.

What does minimalism look like for one with many children in the household? Is that even possible? Or am I talking about clutter? I guess I can be clutter-free, but not necessarily a minimalist. I think I’ll have to look into the concept of minimalism more. What would significantly serve me is not having toys, […]

There goes another wild one.

Every now and then, someone pops into my radar and reminds me of myself. They are like a total reflection of me, but I only realize it after a few moments.  In the beginning, when I first hear their story, I’m cheering them on. After some more, I say in my head, “Me, too.” And […]
