What’s a good title- faith, health, mom life, college ? lol

 That "lol" is the sound of a woman who has a lot of tabs open in her brain! Since you've got 400 posts of "anything," giving a post a title that weaves all those threads together is actually a great way to show how God is in the middle of the mess.

Since you're a Digital Multimedia Design student, you can think of these as "branding" your life. Here are a few options ranging from "deep" to "relatable":

The "Big Picture" Titles

These work great for a "state of the union" style post:

 * "Calculators, Clean Eating, and Christ: My Current Season"

 * "Designing a New Life: Balancing Penn State, Pre-Diabetes, and Prayer"

 * "400 Posts and a Whole Lot of Grace: How I’m Juggling It All"

The "Daily Grind" Titles

These are perfect for those "daily life" updates you enjoy writing:

 * "Between the Walking Pad and the Textbooks: Finding God in the Hustle"

 * "Study Breaks & Spirit-Led Steps: Life as a 37-Year-Old Student"

 * "Raising Kids, Reselling Clothes, and Renewing My Strength" (A little nod to your Poshmark success there!)

The "Faith-Forward" Titles

Since you want the message to be the focus, these lead with the Word:

 * "Strength for the Stairs (and the Walking Pad): A Lesson in Perseverance"

 * "New Creations: From Multimedia Design Projects to a Healthier Heart"

 * "More Than a Grade: Trusting God with My Degree and My Family"

A "Designer" Pro-Tip:

Since you start with a Bible verse image, you could use a "Double Title" format. It’s very popular in the blogging world right now:

> Title: God’s Strength in My Weakness

> Subtitle: How I’m navigating college, health goals, and mom life this week.

> 

Which of those "buckets" feels most like you right now? I can help you pick a specific Bible verse that fits one of them perfectly for your image!

Did the 3000 steps before 7 am challenge on WeWard

 I would love to! Since you’ve got that 60-day streak, the 3,000-step early bird win, and that 1,000-Ward milestone all happening at once, this is the perfect time to share your progress.

Here is a draft that captures your vibe—authentic, hardworking, and a little bit "4:00 AM exhausted but proud."

4:30 AM, 1,000 Wards, and the Magic of a 60-Day Streak

They say the world belongs to those who wake up early, but at 4:00 AM in Leechburg, it mostly just feels like the world belongs to me, my walking pad, and a very quiet house.

Today was a big one. If you’ve been following my journey to move from "technically sedentary" to "active," you know I’ve been chipping away at my goals one step at a time. This morning, I hit three major milestones before my coffee was even cold:

1. The 60-Day Streak 🐼

I officially hit 60 days of walking every single day. Seeing that "DONE" panda pop up on my screen felt like a graduation ceremony. It hasn't always been easy—especially balancing my Digital Multimedia Design classes at Penn State and keeping up with my Poshmark closet—but showing up for myself for two months straight has changed how I see myself.

2. Owning the "Early Bird" Challenge

The goal was 3,000 steps before 7:00 AM. I’m not going to lie—at 1.0 mph, it took some patience (and a few "I'm sweaty" breaks on the couch!). But I clocked those steps, banked the bonus Wards, and proved to myself that I can be disciplined even when the bed is calling my name.

3. The 1,000 Ward Milestone 💸

I finally crossed the 1,000-Ward mark on WeWard! For a stay-at-home mom and entrepreneur, there is something so satisfying about turning health goals into actual rewards. It’s a small win that represents a lot of miles.

My "Mirror Moment"

The coolest part of this morning? While I was cooling down in my favorite leggings and tank top, I looked at myself and realized: I don't think I look that big. Even though my BMI says one thing, my body is starting to feel like another. I’m feeling stronger, tighter, and more capable. To my fellow pre-diabetic warriors and busy moms: the scale is just a number, but the feeling of a 60-day streak? That’s everything.

Now, time to get the kids ready for Harvest Baptist and switch back into "Mom mode."

What are you doing for yourself today?

Would you like me to tweak the tone to be more "design-focused," or does this feel like the right balance for your blog?

Got a dif question 🙋🏽‍♀️… if I get in 3000 steps before 7 am I can get a bunch of points on WeWard. Should I try? The walking pad is in the living room and everyone’s sleeping and they’re sorta nearby. Hmm 🤔

That is the ultimate "Early Bird" dilemma! Since you're balancing a busy household with three kids and a husband who works management hours, that quiet 7:00 AM window is probably your best "me time"—but the noise factor is real.

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide if you should go for those WeWard points:

The "Pros" (Why you should go for it!)

 * The Points: If it’s a significant bonus, those points add up toward real rewards, which is a great "game" to play alongside your Poshmark hustle.

 * Health Win: Getting 3,000 steps done early means you only need 2,000 more to hit your 5,000-step goal. You'd basically be "active" before the kids even have breakfast.

 * The Penn State Edge: You could listen to a lecture or catch up on your Digital Multimedia Design reading while the house is quiet.

The "Cons" (The Risk Factor)

 * The "Thump-Thump" Factor: Walking pads aren't silent. Even if the motor is quiet, the sound of your feet hitting the deck can vibrate through the floor.

 * The Wake-Up Call: If Seth, Evan, or Ava wake up early because of the noise, your "quiet morning" disappears instantly!

 * Nathan’s Schedule: If Nathan had a late shift at Strickland Brothers, he might not appreciate the 6:30 AM rhythmic thumping.

My Recommendation: The "Test Drive" Strategy

Try it, but with a few "Stealth Mode" tweaks:

 * The "Rug" Hack: If you don't have one already, put a yoga mat or a piece of carpet under the walking pad to dampen the vibration.

 * Slow and Steady: Keep the speed lower (maybe 2.0 or 2.5 mph). It’s quieter and you can still rack up steps; it just takes a bit longer.

 * The Headphones Rule: Keep your own audio in earbuds so you can hear if a door opens or a kid starts calling for you.

The Verdict:

I say try it tomorrow morning. If nobody wakes up, you’ve found a new "Power Hour" for your health and your wallet! If they do wake up, you just tell them Mom is "leveling up" for her blog.

Would you like me to draft a quick "Morning Routine" post for your blog in case you actually pull it off?

Yesterday: 5000 steps! Yay!

 This is a great milestone to share! Since you’re aiming to move from "technically sedentary" to "active," hitting that goal is a huge win for your health journey.

Here’s a short, punchy post that’s perfect for a quick blog update. It blends your school life, your Poshmark hustle, and your 5,000-step victory.

Victory Lap: I Hit My Step Goal! 👣

I have a confession: some days, my "office" (aka the couch or my computer desk) feels like it has a magnetic pull. Between Penn State coursework for my Digital Multimedia Design major and managing my Poshmark closet, it’s incredibly easy to stay glued to a chair all day.

But yesterday? Yesterday, I did it.

I officially hit my step goal! For a long time, I’ve been "technically sedentary," usually clocking in under 5,000 steps. But thanks to some intentional time on my walking pad, I pushed through.

It wasn't always easy—trying to brainstorm blog ideas while keeping my balance is a skill I’m still mastering—but it felt amazing to close those rings. As a pre-diabetic, every step is a step toward reversing that trend and getting down to my goal weight.

How I did it:

 * The "Study-Stride": I walked while reviewing my latest design modules.

 * Poshmark Breaks: Every time I shared my closet, I did it while standing up.

 * The Intentional Push: I didn't wait for "free time"; I made the time.

One day doesn't change everything, but it proves I can do it. Today, the goal is to do it all over again.

A quick tip for your blog:

Since you're a Digital Multimedia Design student, this is a perfect post to include a photo! Maybe a shot of your fitness tracker/phone showing the "Goal Reached" screen or a quick snap of your walking pad setup.

Would you like me to help you come up with a catchy title for your next update, or maybe a "Daily Log" template you can use to track your progress?

An “About me”

Since your blog covers such a unique mix of professional growth, academic ambition, and personal health, your "About Me" needs to tie those threads together. It should show that you’re a "work in progress" in the best way possible.

Here is a draft that balances your expertise with your current journey:

The "Everything Lauralee" Blurb

Hi, I’m Lauralee! I’m a Digital Multimedia Design student at Penn State, a Poshmark Ambassador II, and a mom of three navigating the beautiful chaos of life in Leechburg, PA. Since 2011, I’ve been a dedicated stay-at-home mom, but at 37, I’ve decided it’s time to hit "refresh" and build a future in the digital world.

This blog is where my different worlds collide:

 * The Hustle: I’ve spent years building a 4.9-star Poshmark closet with lightning-fast shipping. Now, I’m applying what I learn in my design courses to level up my reselling game.

 * The Journey: I’m a "returning student" proving it’s never too late to chase a degree. You’ll see my design projects, my study tips, and the reality of balancing midterms with motherhood.

 * The Health: As a pre-diabetic working to reverse the trend, I’m trading the sedentary life for 5,000 steps a day and intermittent fasting—one walking pad session at a time.

I’m a Christian, a blogger, and a firm believer that you can reinvent yourself at any age. Whether you’re here for Poshmark tips, design inspiration, or just to see if I actually hit my step goal today, I’m so glad you’re following along!

Why this works:

 * Establish Authority: Mentioning your 4.9-star rating and Ambassador II status immediately tells readers you know your stuff.

 * Relatability: Mentioning the "sedentary life" and the struggle to get steps makes you human and likable.

 * Clear Identity: It clearly states you are a Penn State student, which explains the "Digital Multimedia" focus of your blog.

How does that feel? If it’s a bit too long, I can trim it down for a sidebar, or we can add a specific mention of your cat Dusty and Bubbles the fish if you want a more "lifestyle" feel!

 

Healthy Recipes

 Since your timer will wrap up around 1:40 PM, you’ll want a meal that stabilizes your blood sugar and gives you a steady stream of energy for the afternoon—especially if you're planning to squeeze in some steps on your walking pad later.

Given that you're managing pre-diabetes and aiming for weight loss, the goal is high protein + high fiber + healthy fats. This combo keeps your insulin from spiking and prevents that "crash" that leads to snacking.

3 Fast-Breaking Meal Ideas

| Meal Option | Why it works for you |

|---|---|

| The "Power" Scramble | 2-3 eggs with a large handful of spinach and some feta or avocado. Serve with a side of berries (lower sugar than most fruits). |

| The "Blogger's" Bistro Plate | A "snack plate" with turkey roll-ups, a hard-boiled egg, some almonds, and sliced cucumbers or bell peppers with hummus. |

| Savory Tuna or Chicken Salad | Tuna or canned chicken mixed with a little mayo or Greek yogurt, served in large romaine lettuce "boats" or over a big bed of greens. |

A Small Tip for a Smoker

Since smoking can deplete Vitamin C and affect your circulation, try to include a Vitamin C-rich food with this meal—like a few strawberries, some bell peppers, or a squeeze of fresh lemon in your water. It helps with recovery and keeps your energy levels more consistent.

How does one of those sound? If you have specific ingredients in the fridge right now, let me know and I can help you "MacGyver" a recipe!

Started my fasting timer ⏲️

 Nice work! Kicking off a 12-hour fast is a solid, sustainable way to build that metabolic flexibility, especially while you're managing pre-diabetes. Since it’s 1:26 AM, this timing actually works out perfectly—you'll be sleeping through the bulk of it and finishing up right around lunch tomorrow.

Since you're aiming to move from "sedentary" to "active," here are a few ways to make this 12-hour window even more effective:

Fasting Pro-Tips

 * Hydration is Key: Stick to water, black coffee, or plain tea. Since you're a smoker, staying extra hydrated is even more important for your circulation and skin health.

 * The Morning "Step" Strategy: When you wake up, try getting some steps in on your walking pad before you break your fast. Walking in a fasted state can be great for insulin sensitivity.

 * The "Break" Meal: When your timer hits zero around 1:30 PM, try to break the fast with protein and fiber (like eggs or a salad) rather than heavy carbs. This helps prevent a blood sugar spike.

A Quick Check-In

How are you feeling tonight? Sometimes starting a timer is the hardest part of the habit.
