The End of Day #4

Wow, today has been one hurried post after the next – sorry about that. I guess that’s just Monday for you!

I made it to Bikram class in the late afternoon, and at some point between poses I got this grand idea in my head that I was going to go home and make a good dinner. As you can probably tell from looking at my daily meals so far, I don’t really cook that often, and when I do, it’s typically something I can whip up in under 5 minutes, like eggs or a sandwich. Tonight I came home and made baked flounder filets, with a side of baby bok choy, onion and tomato stir fry and a side of sautéed mushrooms in Alfredo sauce. It was an amazing meal, and to my surprise after tallying everything up, it was under 400 calories! That means that even after a big lunch, a grand dinner, AND snacks, I was still under my daily calorie allotment before I even worked out. Yay me!

Y’all will have to excuse me, ’cause I’m gettin’ ready to hit the hay. Here’s my day according to LoseIt – let’s hope tomorrow morning puts me at somewhere in the 158 realm…

Hello,

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
