Update

I've not been updating but I've been consistent with working out and eating mostly well. I think the best thing for me is building my habit of exercise and moving more and then work out my food macros. 

Journal 3/15/23

Today we got up and went to the gym. Leg day felt hard but it felt good. I went to work for the whole day which I'll also do tomorrow and Friday. I did. Some work on my photography project due after spring break and I read a little bit of Dante and Aristotle Discover the Secrets of the Universe. On my way home I talking with my bestie on the phone. It was a nice way to pass the time. No crafting today but I'm hoping to take something with me tomorrow to do at work.

Food

dinner was friend polenta with creamy sauce with peas, broccoli rabe and mushrooms. I forgot to take a picture.

Today was a good day. I slept in since it was spring break and I am not working today. I feel like I ate well. I dropped old clothes off for donation and made some photos before sitting down and completing a cute embroidery kit of an owl. Tomorrow I'm going to start a bigger cross stitch project. The embroidery was fun but not as fun and relaxing as the cross stitch was. Tomorrow I'll also go into to work after the gym and work a full day.

Today has been a good day. It's the first day of spring break, but I did decide to work Wednesday through Friday. We went to the gym this morning and I had a nice workout. I decided to add a couple more exercises to my rotation. I think I'll be sore tomorrow. We had one of our trees in the front yard taken down because it was mostly dead and becoming a hazard to our home and our neighbor's house. I vacuumed the house. I need to make it a habit to vacuum every Friday.

I finished my cross stitch cactus. It's cute.

Crawling Out From Under My Rock

I'm still here. I live! I just did so in silence but I realize I miss writing and was inspired by my hubby to use this kind of like a journal. I doubt anyone still reads this anyway but I won't over share. I'm back in school for my BA in English but I'm focusing on writing and rhetoric instead of literature. I'm working on taking care of myself by working my body in the gym four days a week. I look forward to using this space to hold myself accountable with my eating and exercising as well as sharing fun bits of my life. 

Food:

Breakfast: Steel cut oats with butter, brown sugar, some dried cranberries and dried blueberries and a splash of cream. I also added some raw nuts for texture. 

Lunch: Bahn mi with pork, pate, and the traditional veggies. A Vietnamese iced coffee to drink.

Dinner: Okay, so I've not had dinner yet because it is still afternoon but I will be eating spaghetti pie with a Texas cheesy toast. 

Making shit:

I'm working on a little cross stitch cactus.
