I think that's a reasonable list. My own is 11 and I have the same guidelines for him whether I'm home or not, although I don't have the stipulation about them needing to be done before electronics. I told him that until he gives me a reason not to, I will trust him to manage his time.

I love them. They don't bounce or hurt my head, so it's a win.

But they don't do well in the rain. I wore one pair to my son's baseball game and it rained briefly. It left speckles on my lenses where it took off the coating. Customer service is sending me a new pair of lenses. Wore my other pair to a game tonight, and same situation- it rained a bit and they're ruined. 

So what's out there that will hold up?

I love my Soma undies more than I should. Full coverage, no VPL, and the silicone grippies keep them from riding up.

6:20- Alarm goes off. Contemplate getting up. Decide to sacrifice wearing makeup for a few more minutes of sleep.
6:28- Snooze goes off again. Sleep vs breakfast. Sleep wins.
6:40- Out of bed because I have to. Shower, get dressed, dry hair (mostly, because I snoozed too long to dry it all the way) brush teeth.
7:15- Heading out the door for work. Say bye to husband and kid. Traffic thanks to school zone. Vow to get up on time tomorrow.
7:25- Arrive at work. Get shit done before kids arrive.
8:30-3:30- Doing my library job, trying not to lose my mind.
3:30- 4:00- Getting all the shit done I tried to accomplish during the day but couldn't because I got interrupted.
4:00- 4:30- Chat with coworkers. Vow to leave earlier tomorrow.
4:30- Leave school. Drive home.
4:40- Arrive at home. Greet kid. Change clothes.
4:40-5:20- Three mile run + cool down walk.
5:20- Shower.
5:35- Nag kid to get ready for sport practice. Need to leave in 10 minutes. Husband arrives home.
6:00-7:30- At the ballfield.
7:40- Dinner at home. Waste time on internet.
9:00- Still wasting time on internet. Should go to bed soon to avoid the snooze button tomorrow. Must avoid school zone traffic. Send kid to bed.
9:40- Omg, why am I still up and not doing anything productive? Wait. Kid doesn't have clean shorts for tomorrow. Start load of laundry.
10:00- Going to bed. For real. Blankets so warm and cozy. Should have done this an hour ago.
10:10- Crap. Forgot to put clothes in dryer. Change out clothes.
10:12- Watch something on Netflix. Fall asleep around 11.


The kid is pretty independent. Husband does the cooking.

I noticed Clinique has a new line, too. It's aimed at being used for workouts.

It's been about a month since I've posted, so my list is a little longer:

The Dollhouse by Fiona Davis
Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld
The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict
American Duchess by Karen Harper
Kate: The Future Queen by Katie Nicholl
Finding Dorothy by Elizabeth Letts
The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks
Forget You Know Me by Jessica Strawser
Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson
One More Thing by BJ Novak (the only one on my list I didn't enjoy)
Becoming by Michelle Obama

Four miles for me today. I knocked it out early. I'm getting antsy for warmer weather so I can get off the treadmill and outside.

I feel like I could have written a lot of that, right down to considering Columbus in October. I've been focusing on just being strong and healthy, but I'm not sure if that's enough. I've also thought about joining local MRTT/SRTT meetups, but it intimidates me.

I have nothing to add but good luck with whatever you decide. <3

Did you try the Perricone foundation or serum? The serum is my absolute favorite.

I haven't tried Double Wear Light since they reformulated, but the old stuff was nice. It was heavier than a CC cream, but it didn't budge.

People who hang onto the treadmill at the gym. It shouldn't annoy me but it does.

Slow month for me. Work has been very busy. I read and enjoyed:
American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld
The Girls at 17 Swann Street by Yara Zgheib
Victoria by Daisy Goodwin
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson

Read but hated:
A Place For Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza. I hated it but finished it for a book club I'm in. This book was another reason why I didn't finish as many this month as typically do. It took me so long to drag myself through it.

I'm 25/100 for the year.

I like it without a host. I hope they keep this format.

Melissa Mccarthy's gown she wore while presenting best costume design.

It was stunning.

I'm peeking back in after a two year running hiatus. Yowch. Surprisingly, it's been easy to pick back up. I've put a lot more emphasis on strength and feel pretty good.

F- 2 miles
S- Rest
S- 3.15 miles + upper body strength
M- Strength
