Daily Check-in ANG: Tuesday, July 21st

Hello, Blend Friends, and happy Tuesday!

Today’s meme: 100% me! Did anyone else think that they would always look and feel 25? 🙋🏽‍♀️ (Or maybe you *are* 25!) Is there anything that has surprised you about your current age/stage/season of life? Honestly, I’m shocked that I just can’t go hard like I could even a couple of years ago. Not with workouts, not with running errands, not with day-to-day things. I mean, I’m a napper now, and I used to turn my nose up at people who napped during the day. Sheesh! How the tables have turned!

But even though my inner beast has been tamed and I’m now more of a housecat than a lion, I like my age and stage. I also like today’s back stretching routine for day 2 of Simply Stretch:

What sort of movement will you treat yourself to today? Or maybe it’s a rest day?

I also like to eat. Hubs has more work events this week, so I only need to feed myself. I’m going to make bell peppers stuffed with seasoned beef and Jasmine rice. What will grace your plates today?

Okay, it’s time to go do…something! Maybe organize my workout equipment? (Hmmm) Make myself pull weeds? (Nope!) Install an electric fence to shock the salesman who ignored my no soliciting sign and with whom I had to get very firm and shut the door in his face? (YES!)

Have a great day, and all are welcome here, no matter your age or stage!
