For end of work day wind down, a walk around the neighborhood or through nature trail is a must. When I'm working from home and wrap up for the day I tell the family I'm heading out on my "commute" home. The buffer between work and home helps subconsciously file things away and get into family mode. I've abstained from alcohol for about a year now and this was a habit that replaced a beverage everyday after work.
Great question! I go much less frequently during the winter. But with the mild weather last winter I did still try to bundle up and get walking a couple days a week. Especially nice with a fresh or falling snow providing different perspectives of the same landscapes:)
Whitney and I really struggle with the 5:30 conundrum. As much as I love to eat, I hate talking about what to eat. With Orange Theory in the mix, everything is protein, protein, protein. But recently we decided to go all-in on Halal, so getting protein is now that much more complicated. I used to adore seafood (which doesn't have to be halal), now I'm basically sick of it. So I'm stealing any good suggestions you get here.
For me, the best movies are the ones that make me genuinely tear up.
Yes, a huge barrier to eating well for me is the PLANNING. I realize this is a function of modern life that we think we should not have to invest much thought or time or effort into our food - but I don't see myself rejecting my modern life in favor of subsistence farming anytime soon.
Congrats on the decision to go all-in Halal - that's a huge deal and I'm sure a lot of reflection went into it!
So intriguing to hear that your favorite movies are the super sniffly ones! I like those, too, but can't usually watch them more than once. I haven't seen Philomena, so adding that one to my list.

Thanks for sharing what's worked for you Jared. The nature walk sounds like a lovely habit. Do you do this daily even in the winter?
