Flu Week

So this past week I've been sick with the flu. I have no idea if it was the swine flu or just the regular flu. Hopefully not swine. Anyways, I've been sick since Monday and its Friday. I hate germs. I have already missed two tests and I'm gonna have so much fun making up all the work I've missed. Whats the point in skipping if you can't enjoy it? *sigh*
Well, hopefully I'll be better by Sunday or even Saturday. Sunday is stake conference and then the youth conference video thing, I really want to go and see everyone again. *crosses fingers*
Anyways, it's been a relaxing week minus blowing the nose constanly and coughing. I think I have now seen every episode of Phineas and Ferb, Suite Life on Deck, and Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Vanessa was sick with me until today and she was watching Disney channel and playing on some disney channel fairy site. It actually looked cool for a fairy site. :) Unforunately there has been no good food in the house so I haven't been able to pig out while I've been home. We have had sandwich supplies so I've had turkey and cheese. Yum. Well, my parents have this surprise party that they are going to tonight, so it will just be Vanessa and I. Hopefully I'll be able to come up with something to eat. I don't really want to eat leftovers again.
*September 11. It seems like such a long time ago that it happened! Thank you to all those men and women that have served us, past and present. I love this country and am grateful for those that serve it.*

Inner Motivation

I’m really good at doing what people tell me to do. Like, give me an assignment and I can get it done! The harder part comes when you give me more freedom. Like I have to call all the shots?? I actually got feedback from one of my internship supervisors that related to this. I walked into the one on one thinking I was going to get perfect marks. And he surprised me! But in a good way, he told me, “You’re really great at coming to us and asking what you can do to help. I would love it if instead of coming to us and asking what you could do, you instead came to us with an idea or even something that you had already done. Fulfill a need and take that initiative! You are a part of this internship for a reason and we trust you.” That was probably the best constructive feedback I have ever gotten and I really took it in stride. I started looking for ways I could help and contribute instead of just asking. Flash-forward two years later and I was walking into another one on one with

Lessons from a Movie: Ford v Ferrari

Image
So, this is going to sound very ‘English Major’ of me, but I love finding the life-lessons in movies. Or maybe not even finding the lesson, but what did the movie get me to reflect on. I think I can safely blame this on my parents and my background as an English major.  (Side note: I once wrote a paper comparing two Star Trek movies and how the villains reflected world events at the time. It was my favorite paper to write, I just watched the two movies!)  Back to my previous thought, I can blame my parents because after movies we would always debrief on the car ride home. We talked about what we liked and what we thought about the movie (the Avengers series is a lovely conversation starter and I have all the thoughts about those, but to give you a snippet- I’m a big Iron Man fan). Anyways, this weekend we went and saw Ford v Ferrari. It was really good and I was pleasantly surprised! To be honest, I only went because Micah really wanted to watch it and we hadn’t been to t

5 Ways to Make Working Out in the AM Easier

Image
Now, let me first say it says easier, it doesn’t say easy peasy! Starting a workout routine or even starting healthy habits takes time and patience with yourself! Be sure to set achievable goals so that you can start off on the right foot. This means if you don’t work out at all right now, don’t make a goal to work out every day! Think about your schedule and set an achievable goal for yourself. This could be anything from 1 day to 3, but be sure to take small steps. Your fitness is not a destination, it’s a journey! When I first started adding a fitness routine into my daily schedule I started off working out after work. At the time it worked great, but I started to notice that things would start creeping into my workout time. For example, dinner, hanging out with friends, being super tired, etc. I was able to overcome those things, but I really wanted to have more time after work to relax or hang out with friends (this was pre-corona). I moved my workouts to the morning startin
