Have you gotten tired of me being super vague and wishy-washy when it comes to these transitions I’ve been talking about the past few weeks? Yes?
Good. I have too.

When Self-Care Stops Caring
This is NOT going to be a post railing against self-care because I am a HUGE supporter of self-care. I think it’s something that everyone needs to do and I think it is a missing component in many people’s healthy living/seeking routines.
That said, there are times when self-care is the exact opposite of care and that is a problem.
Adults need stickers too!
Working on Restoring
I think a lot of us, me included, feel like in order to be good and productive members of society have to do more. More work, more outings, more social functions, more workouts, more dieting, more social media worthy activities, more whatever. Because if you’re not doing more, you’re being lazy.
I have noticed lately that I always feel like I need to do something, whether it’s work, working out, going out with Adam, or whatever. Slowing down feels lazy. Another part of the constant more for me is trying to keep up with what I *think* everyone else is doing. Because I work from home and I set my own schedule, it’s easy for me to jam as much stuff into my day just so I can keep up and not be lazy.

What I Ate Wednesday: Husband Edition
I AM SEEING HAMILTON TODAY! I REPEAT, I AM SEEING HAMILTON TODAY!!!!
Ok, now that I’m done shouting from the rooftops, hello! Today is the day!! Wayyyyyy back in January, Adam gave me one of the best Christmas presents ever and bought tickets to see the musical, Hamilton. The first available date was July 12th, so I waited. And waited. Then waited a little more…. and now the day is here! Can you tell I’m excited? I’m sure I’ll tell you all about our day on the blog because of course, you want to know everything. 🙂
But now for the actual reason for this post besides gushing about Hamilton, my husband. Specifically, what my husband eats. I thought for this What I Ate Wednesday I would share a day of my husbands eats because he actually eats A LOT differently than I do. And that’s ok. We’re two different people with two different needs and two different bodies.

Hazelnut Cocoa Crunch Cereal
Cereal has always been my go-to meal/snack/food. As a kid, I could (and did) eat bowls and bowls of the stuff. In college, cereal was always there for a quick dinner or late-night snack. Unfortunately, most cereal out there is a not the best for you. Sure there are a few good options, but the tend to be expensive. And let’s face it, who wants to eat super healthy cereal when there are things like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Reese’s Puffs out there?
So, for a long time, I’ve given up eating cereal. I’ll have one of my granola recipes every once in a while, but they aren’t a regular occurrence. Granola is delicious, but it isn’t the same as cereal ya know?
Then I decided to make sweet roasted chickpeas and everything changed.
