So many things to do, so little time. No wonder those annoying little tasks keep getting pushed to the bottom of your list.
But did you know that those “little” tasks drain your energy? Just like a slow leak, those tasks slowly sap energy, and focus you’d rather put elsewhere.
Here are two thing you can do to stop the leak, and Start Overcoming Overwhelm.
Read MoreDid you know that it’s actually possible to workout too much?
It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s not good. Not only can it negatively impact you physically and mentally, but it can actually make it even more difficult to reach your goals.
Learn about the signs of overexercising and find out if you are one of the few people who may need to cut back to get better results.
Read MoreSchool is starting. Where the heck did summer go?
How the heck is it already the middle of August? Seriously. There’s no way it’s later than the beginning of July at the latest. More like mid-June, right?
Where has this year gone?
What is it about being an adult that causes time to slip through our finger-tips? Maybe it’s because we’ve lived longer so our concept of time is different than it was when we were younger. Or maybe it’s because we’ve put “being busy” on a pedestal and we are living in a state of overwork, overwhelm, and over-busy.

Last month, I made a life changing decision.
I bought a second laundry basket.
“Really Erin? Life changing?”
Yes.
“Tell me more…”
Does the idea of “starting over” make you want to quit before you even begin? I get it. I’ve been there. I am there.
I’ve definitely had my shares of physical (and fitness) ups and downs. In fact, for the first almost 30 years of my life I was on a health roller-coaster. I would make progress over and over again only to backslide every time, often to a worse situation than I was in before I “started” (again).
My Mom is obsessed with ALDI.
My sister’s finance is obsessed with ALDI.
I have clients that are obsessed with ALDI.
In fact… a LOT of people are obsessed with ALDI. I find that the middle ground is murky when it comes to ALDI. People either love it, or they (think) think they hate it.
So what do I buy at ALDI? Let’s get into it…
Hangry toddlers are the worst.
Okay, so are hangry husbands… and sisters, and… well, I’m sure teens and tweens aren’t much better. But as of this point in my life, most of my day to day experience is dealing with the toddler and husband situation.
Which is why it’s not just nice but critical to have quick, easy, healthy, filling, and satisfying meals and snacks on hand. And these banana almond butter muffins deliver in all of those areas.
Halloween candy. Ugh.
Truth is, I don’t even like it. Maybe it’s because I have re-trained my taste buds to enjoy better quality food or maybe it’s because I know what’s in the candy and how it impacts my body (headaches & breakouts anyone?).
But there it sat, staring at me.
I knew it wasn't worth it. Sure, I love peanut butter and chocolate together. So Reese’s are a temptation. But truth is, the dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe’s and Justin‘s peanut butter cups are better than Reese’s.
I said what I said.
