Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 4
“One of the most predictable thing about life is just how unpredictable it really is.” I am sure this quote originated somewhere more amazing then where I first heard it which was in the Disney movie Ratatouille. I said last week that this week was going to be business as usual and it has proven…

Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 3
Wow! What a day. Yesterday I had a scheduling conflict and didn’t make it to the gym. Don’t worry I still had my can of Unsweetened Matcha Love from Ito En, did some planks, squats, and walked around my neighborhood. I am not going to make any judgements about I felt yesterday only because the…

Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 2
Day 2: Unexpected * I’ll make this quick and will start by saying I’m not a doctor and my results are my own. I exercise 5 days a week and follow a strict diet high in protein, low in calories, low in sugar, and moderate on carbs. I normally drank the Ito En Sencha Shot before my…

Almost There

Daily Routine
This morning I woke up with a bang. My FitBit Charge HR says I slept alright though I wish I had less “restless” time. Better than most nights though since I got in almost 8 hours which is something I try to do. Sleep is so important and can be over looked for its value.…

Rainy Day Reflections
Our first Spring rain is falling. I love the rain. The rain forces me to slow down and reflect. I take this opportunity to do a little mediation, tea drinking of course, reading, and treat myself to a few mini beautifying treatments that I can manage at home.

Fine Words Butter No Parsnips
Listen I don’t know what’s wrong with these parsnips but I have a few “fine” choice “words” for them. After I’m done I am sure you’ll grab the butter yourself and take care of these rather ridiculous parsnips. Ever since Robert @thedevotea mentioned this little challenge I was curious what I’d write. First, I don’t…

How To Survive Mondays
Oh Monday, how I often loathe you! You start with an early wake up call to get the kids ready. One for school and the other needs changing and fed. Then the older one begins to complain. It is the same routine. You know what I am talking about. The fake sleeping, the whining about…
