Reached over 90 workouts in 23 weeks since starting this whole ‘don’t die super young’ thing. I had a rough couple of weeks doing the bare minimum and really had to talk myself into working out today. I’m really glad I did. My legs are on fire but my mood is already brighter. Proud of myself, especially when I feel like I’m ‘failing’. Just trying to remember this is a forever thing, not an -until I reach my goal weight- thing. Let’s get to 100!! @joinladder

Ellie’s first day of seventh grade!!! She let me do her hair, I can tell she’s so excited but slightly nervous. I’m so glad she has good friends joining her at the new school. The vibe on her new campus is so great. I hope our kids have a safe and exciting first year of middle school.

I’ve been waiting since I was a teenager to watch this one! So excited.

Grady Hendrix really knows how to get under my skin. 😰

For my contribution, I pose a question for all you lavish peeps. Which horror franchise would you SURVIVE. If you were in any big horror movie story, which final girlie/person, do you think you’d be and tell me why!

Took my oldest to get a pre-7th grade fresh haircut today. I keep seeing posts of people going to farmers markets, and thrifting with their moms. Having brunch and making jokes about being the first person they call is always their mom. It tugs at my heart that I never had the opportunity to have that kind of relationship with my mom, but it hits me today that I get to have that AS someone’s mom. We get to ride in the car listening to our favorite podcast, they shares their favorite memes and gifts me little knitted sunflowers and stickers. This is 1000% better than wishing for something that could never happen. I’m so full of pride for the person my Ellie is becoming, and so excited and happy that they want me to be there for all of it too. Middle school is hard, even harder when you don’t have people that have your back. Ellie will always have that with me and @Jeff Richardson
