Tonight, I made shepherds pie based on this recipe from TheWholesomeDish.com . The only change I made was that I used ground turkey meat instead of beef or the traditional ground lamb. Oh and I used the Target mashed potatoes and just heated them up before adding on top. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmVfcSuONrf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I always love the end of the year because I am addicted to these statistic wrap-ups that have become a trend! Here’s my @strava Year in Sport for 2022!! 2023 is going to be so much better! https://www.instagram.com/p/CmPN9XEpzOD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sundays have been my days reserved for me, since moving into this house. I usually journal, do a little reading, a little laundry, and just hang out with myself. Today, my journaling session had a purpose: clear my mind so i can work through my final portfolio projects for school. I can’t believe one semester is done already! Only 3 more to go and then I’m a graduate once more. During this quiet writing time, I decided on 3 goals for myself for next semester: 1. Complete weekly assignments ahead of time. 2. Each weekend will have three 2-hour writing blocks 3. Submit 5 pieces of writing to various publications. All attainable, all pieces of a larger goal.

Another virtual race in the books for 2022!! My leg feels so strong these days but this ankle, man…it needs to whip itself into shape if I’m planning on qualifying for races in 2024. Lots of running plans ahead of me. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cle_CJCrAVh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally got the chance to log into my account and see my official @strava time for the Virtual Abbott Dash to the Finish Line 5K!! My fastest racing time yet!! I got my 5K just under an hour!! And DIDN’T come in last. AND I finished this race with an out of shape/weak ankle and foot. Excited for my December race in Brooklyn!

It’s so true. And I’m just so happy that, for once, I stopped and listened. https://www.instagram.com/p/ClDnDDyOvx7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Going to physical therapy has been such a game changer. This is only session 3 but the exercises have been helping me a lot, even the ones I’m assigned as my homework. I’m thinking of buying some of the supplies they have there so I can use it at home or if there is a week I can’t get there. Honestly, this stuff is probably good to have available anyway.

Injury recovery mode activated!!!!! I was able to walk/run my first 5K since March 2022 with minimal pain AND minimal breathing issues. If there’s anything that I’ve gained during this injured period it’s been patience with myself, Grace in my abilities, and mental/physical strength. Cheers to the remainder of 2022 running season and looking ahead to 2023! Now I need to go do some proper recovery so we don’t re-injure anything. Especially now that I’m actually going to physical therapy (at West Hempstead, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkWP2Z7rRZe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

About 15 days ago, I started the #75hard #75hardchallenge and then promptly became in the groundhog’s day that is Day 1, until today. Today I broke the cycle and completed all the steps and tomorrow I get to do Day 2…which is exactly the same as today, but different in a way 😂 In the midst of the collapse of my mental health, this is a small ray of sunshine cracking through the dusty dark corners of my brain. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjouv-VrubU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New computer monitor has arrived!! Upgraded my Samsung 19inch monitor to Acer SB220Q 21.5inch monitor. I love how slim it is and those extra inches of space really make a difference already. I can’t wait for my writing session later tonight! This monitor cost me $99 and it comes equipped with both HDMI and VGA hookups. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjTJ8GCLdYx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

REVIEW : ⭐️ ⭐️/5 Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors, but I have to admit that I wasn't a fan of this book. I felt like it was unnecessary pages. I'm sorry!!! As a pro-choice person with a uterus, I felt this book didn't tell me anything new. I never found a reason to try and feel any sympathy or connection to any of the pro-life (pro-birth) characters. I don't know if this book was written to try and get some sympathy between the opinionated sides, but I was pretty bored with the entire book. I mean, I'm not going to spoil the ending, but literally, the entire story is centered around a man who takes revenge on the wrong people in the story. I am still pro-choice and will never value or agree with pro-birthers' opinions. (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjPBlnsLJbH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
