As Dr. Ken😷* says…
______’s my jam!
In my case, stuffed starches are.
What can I say? I am what I eat!
Pho #1
Steamed potstickers 🍜
Boiled wontons (not pictured) 🍜
🍕Italian-style versions from Mami Aya
Basically, these all are dumplings!

Ever since I returned to South Texas , I’ve had my share of pizzas🍕 …
Almost as soon as I relocated, I picked up a pie from the Valley ‘s original The Pizzeria : Baked Ziti🍝
When I visited family and friends, including dinner with Bestie Evie Mama Maggie Mac ‘N’ Cheese🧀 masterpiece from CiCi’s
I tried the Garlic Knots from the Hut Bacon-Wrapped from Little Caesar’s
But when it comes down to it, Baked Ziti still is my fave YOLO, hands down! 🙌🏽 ✌🏽️2 of my faves:
Pasta
Pizza
Bam!👊🏽

Happy National 🏡Home🏠 Organization Day!
What a way to place that need for order as we ring in the New Year !
Let’s welcome ☼everyday☼ with
I live by these planning approaches:
Fail to plan, plan to fail. ~ Brian , 👊🏽Toned U p💪 🏽 on Bravo!❗️ Plan to work, work to plan. ~ Alex , Carpenter from 🏡Treehouse Masters 🌳 on 🦁APL🌎
Here’s my organizational strategy:
Map out day (night before ) 🕯💡🛣🌃🌉
Visualize : Pray🙏🏽 ☝🏽️✌🏽️ 👓🌈Exercise💓💞 👣👟🏋 Breakfast ☕️🍊🍳🍞🧀 Tackle the tough things 1st 🏉🏈🏅🎖🏆
~ adapted from Forbes ‘ most successful people
A couple of my Catholic brothers have made these remarks about planning (paraphrased):
How do you make GOD laugh? Tell Him your plans! ~ Danny Barrera , JD 👔What’s the point of planning? It takes up more time! ~ Capt. Kirk
While I’m an advocate for daily game planning to help us establish order in our lives, our plans don’t work unless we
know that we can’t implement them singlehandedly, and
that our ultimate goal is to follow GOD’s perfect plan 👏🏽🙌🏽
3:33 ~ make a wish … or, actually: a †prayer !!! ✌

While trick-or-treaters may be house-hopping and candy-popping this weekend, I’ll continue consuming my healthy supplements on the ☼daily!
Ginkgo Biloba mental focus
Centrum VitaMints®
I’ve come a long way since my childhood Flinstones chewables ~ which I doubt are the best bet for my teeth with the acidity
I’m still not a fan of swallowing tablets without having water and food in handy
Therefore, I’m all about double-duty of fulfilling my ☼daily☼ needs while freshening my breath !
Of course, I don’t skimp on the actual food that I need to fuel my brain and body ~ which I’m actually including in an analogy between my marathon and my main statistical method (multiple regression ) for my doc research !
Study Mode Trail Mix26.2-mi. course and my mind through my dissertation process , they were the main feature of this snack combo for the crunch + the Pumpkin Spice flavor along with the pumpkin cookies & candy , as well as more chocolate to cover these Brookside blueberries that also benefit the memory !
Speaking of my race, although I haven’t run as many long distances in awhile, I’ve fit in mini drills to keep my energy levels high while I’ve been drained from my dissertation , a.k.a., my doc docs …
During my dedicated eating time (yes , I must make a meal break away from my computer, according to my Bestie Evie birthday advice ), I actually HIIT before I sit!
While I wait for my chow to cook ~ simmering in the crock pot, boiling on the stove, or nooking in the oven/microwave/toaster ~ I do the following quick set(s), to induce more calorie-burning even after I’m done exercising:
Standing ♥Cardio♥
Floor/Mat/Carpet Core
More ♥Cardio♥
Dance
Stretch
Relieve those muscles computer desk and before sitting down to eat
Happy Early Halloween, All †Saints’ Day y el Día de los Muertos! ✌

What’s better than carving and painting jack-o-lanterns ?
Eating pumpkin … At least for yours truly!
I’ve already gone PSL
Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Cheesecake dessert cookies & Pumpkin Spice Milano + Blue Diamond Pumpkin Spice Almonds from CVS Quest Bar Pumpkin Pie energy bar (which we used to give away from Pretty Fit Market Street
In fact, I used to buy a full pie for the fam to celebrate Halloween/Thanksgiving /my sis ‘ birthday since college
(the Fazoli’s Ghirardelli
I’m flip ping over this YOLO –yo !
TGIF *Friday Night* Addendum
Now I’m somewhat relieved that this weekend’s Halloween party has been canceled/postponed due to t-storms (Hurricane Patricia’s just further down south) ~ so in addition to preparing for my next round , I also can have some down time …
Bring on the cozy comforts of hot cocoa & mac ‘n’ cheese , please!

Happy National Dessert Day!
My peers who’ve preceded me in finishing their doctor of philosophy degrees can agree:
Cleaner and clearer are better.
That means: clean desks and clear minds …
Plus clean PowerPoint s to clear our minds !
Two of my esteemed classmates who graduated a few years ago and whose guidance I sought for my paper and slideshow both explicitly pointed out that I most certainly must cut back
Down to 120-140 slides, no more than 150!
As the ☼summer☼ drew to a close ~ during my most recent hurdle (that lasted four months as we entered fall term ), my statistics ~ I already reached 300+ slides and reached 300+ pages of my dissertation
Yet that’s way too many to fit into a two-hour presentation (including professors ‘ Q&A) ~ so I’ve reduced down to almost ½ so far!
This slide: an indicator that I measured a TON of stats ! I ended up taking out 50+ slides last night … Shooting to eliminate more. Next issue: making sure that the fewer slides that I look less cluttered
Just as I’ve had to minimize my clutter-bug and shutter-bug ways, I’m also de-cluttering / cleaning and clearing up my PowerPoint
That way, I can advance into the next round !

To stay in the spirit for this season, I decked out with a little bit of my autumn aesthetics ~ ringing in the old with the new!
My little splurge to bring me cheer this time of year : this rad-in-plaid deer because plaid is on-trend (this one somewhat resembles Burberry) + it’s deer season (not that I’m a hunter) & rein deer seasonDOC to keep me motivated as I keep truck ing along (more in high-speed ) toward my doctoral degree ! Along with Doc are A&A TD toy for football season & my classic Halloween decor ~ including Ba dt z-Maru pillow ~ on this plaid spread that accompanies autumn yet also is appropriate for winter as we approach CHRIS†mas in red & green!
Here’s more info on my fall favorites to take yours truly through this sweater weather & before the snow hits our neck of the woods …
