    My Personal Report Framework

    Check out “Darling Girls” by Sally Hepworth.

    I’ve been making cottage cheese protein bagels weekly; you can find the recipe on skinnytaste.com. I’ve also been preparing high-protein overnight oats regularly for breakfast, which includes oats, chia seeds, protein, and fruit. I started making these after finding out about my high cholesterol in January.

    I’ve been into adult gymnastics for almost a year now, and I’m amazed at what my body can accomplish in my 40th year of life. I’ve also been swimming a lot in our pool recently.

    Although I generally save money, I recently got the Capital One Venture X credit card for my new PRN job’s travel expenses.

    I’m very excited about my upcoming trip to my best friend’s wedding, especially because it’s our first cruise as a family.

    Personally, I am treating myself to a new AirTrack to practice my gymnastics outside. I got mine on Facebook Marketplace along with a new pull-up bar, but I will link to them, on Amazon:

    • Ally Peaks Pull Up Bar
    • Premium Air Mat Tumble Track Inflatable Gymnastics Tumbling Mat
