It is a dreary, rainy day here in Northeast Florida. Despite the weekend’s crummy weather, I am in good spirits, and rather productive for a Sunday morning. This weekend I caught up on several loads of clean, unfolded laundry, cleaned several rooms in the house (including the massive dumpster fire of Hazel’s room), cooked a … Continue reading Chilly and Productive in NE Florida
Ella had a late night Thursday evening game yesterday with Upwards Basketball. Hazel also had cheer practice at the same time. I love watching Ella trying new sports. She is still learning, especially the quick transitions of the game. She excels as a defender and rebounding. Sometimes there is a struggle for her to get … Continue reading B-ball Game nights
Admittedly its been a rough start to this whole process. I have made some changes sure. Time to get serious. The past two weeks Ive been shut in with the family covid quarantine special. Now we’re all doing fine and are healthy. Returned to work in person and school for the Little’s. I have no … Continue reading Month 2 SG Workout plan- The Girl is back in town
Since 1.10.22 the Grants have been quarantining from a Covid positive test starting with Ella. Today, a week and a half later, she is now negative but the others in the house are still positive. Super exciting. I must add that we are very lucky to have only had very mild symptoms. In the midst … Continue reading Quarantined, Overstimulated and Awake in Orange Park.
I have been struggling with how to begin this essay for graduate applications this weekend. In one application it is called a statement of purpose. I have been mostly ruminating rather than producing anything. When speaking in individual therapy this week my therapist and I were discussing the application process, but more than that, more … Continue reading What is my why?
“The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” -Nelson Mandela I decided some time ago to start this path of graduate school. For many, this decision might not have such a profound effect. Or at least, not as many trials as I am simply having in … Continue reading Conquering the storms

I read something lately that struck me, it was an anonymous quote. It read: “Getting lost along your path is a part of finding the path you are meant to be on.” On taking those steps…along my path….I find myself now prepared with the correct equation of fortitude, passion and hope to move towards a … Continue reading Step. Step. Moving Forward
Just checking in really. Today I made dozens of Christmas cookies with the girls. And maybe for the first time in my life, did not eat any dough, or gorge myself on cookies. I ate two finished cookies, one peanut butter thumbprint (with rolos not hersheys kisses), and one chocolate chip cookie. The past couple … Continue reading WK 3-4 SG Workout Plan
As the Christmas season briskly approaches, I am just doing my best to keep up. I have had some major setbacks with my physical pain levels, mostly in my lower back. This combined with the pace of life right now, I don’t really have the time to deal with it. The back pain has slowly … Continue reading Roadblocks and Holiday Prep
I did not have any major victories this week. It was rather lack-luster watching what I was eating and I was easily bored. Until something stopped me in my tracks. “Be aggressive about your ambitions, do not allow setbacks to set you back.” -Random TED Talk lady I heard while scrolling lazily. I thought to … Continue reading Wk2 Recap SG Plan—Don’t Stop Me Now
The day began like any other Wednesday. Normal kiddo routine getting ready for school. On this day, we were nearly out the door, when Ella realized that it was “Dress like a Candy Cane” day at school. I thought about it briefly and said to myself, who in their right minds would create such a … Continue reading Candy Cane day, a lesson in school preparation
Rooftop View of Downtown JAX Have yourself a Merry little Christmas. Let your heart be light….How many times have I heard this lyric…how many times do I repeat words or lyrics in song, without considering the impact it might have if I just….listen. The weekend came and went so quickly, I met my co-workers for … Continue reading From now on your troubles will be out of sight…
I had every intent on trying this week. Even making small changes admittedly is harder than I thought. In terms of diet, I have introduced more fiber, protein and veg and higher water intake. I went on three long walks. I did do some things “correctly”, others were an epic fail. Mid-day hunger is the … Continue reading Week 1 Epic Fail Recap—SG’s Workout Plan
