Katie Fisher 2/10/2018 6:17 PMBrought my mason jar and pre-weighed it at Mom's Organic Market today to get my oats in bulk. I've been meaning to do this as I've seen the signs around the store promoting the process, but this challenge is the little boost I needed to make it happen! See my Instagram story for the photo evidence. -
Katie Fisher 2/09/2018 7:55 PMToday I am thankful for:

Katie Fisher 2/08/2018 6:28 PMDay 4 of 7, many of these habits are noticeably practical, just be making small adjustments in my day-to-day life. I am already planning to keep these going past the challenge, they are rewarding too! -
Katie Fisher 2/07/2018 4:26 PMQuite the rainy day at Villanova... Really enjoying my pledge to eat without looking at any type of screen. -
Katie Fisher 2/06/2018 1:16 PMI start my Tuesdays with lots of running and working out, and this aligns well with my goals toward mindfulness. I incorporate mindfulness by not looking at my phone until before my 11:30 class. I enjoy the time running and can focus completely on my strength routine and stretching afterwards without distractions. I enjoy the walk back from the locker room without the temptation. It is a change from my usual routine of a team practice, but I can appreciate the quiet/alone time. -
