Just rambles

What do you do when you join an online book club for a book that only does one chapter a week and you have already finished the book?  Asking for...well... myself.  I have really been looking forward to this book and I got it on audible which I never foresaw myself liking to be honest.  I always loved the feel and smell of physical books in my hand, but when I go to the gym (yes that IS still a thing :D) I need something to listen to that helps me drown out my tears of pain...just kidding.  I need something to keep me occupied while I do my weights and sometimes I just want something besides music.

Anyways, to the gym thing.  I am actually really enjoying it.  I go pretty hard when I do go.  I don't really follow any routines per se, but i know that Wednesdays I work out to Richard Simmons :D  and the rest of the week I try to work as much of my body as tolerable.  Today I did my abs, and then I ran for about 20 minutes.  and when I say ran, i mean I went at a pace of 2.0 to 4.9 every few minutes and switched back and forth.

Let me just tell ya that I charged my fitbit yesterday (Wednesday) at noon and now it is at half battery again, so I will be looking for a new fitbit soon.  If it cant handle more than a day of me  hahaha! I have had this particular model for about a year now so hopefully that is the only reason it is having so many issues.  I have enjoyed my colorful bands though so maybe i can get a new one that has several colors :D

I am overall more happy and more energetic these days.

Dragging

I feel as though I am dragging!! I had a day off of work so I feel like my week is going slow. I wanted it to be Monday at the gym this morning, but it was TUESDAY!

Also, I am still going to the gym!  I took three days off from it and I ate like crap this weekend but Im still human guys!

BUT speaking of weekend, my weekend was pretty awesome.  I did a lot of things with my friends, after I had worked at the ice cream shop.  Everyone wanted ice cream this weekend.  It was crazy insane! I usually get off at 9 on Saturdays, and I was there until almost 10! 

Anyways, a few friends and I went to see Dragon Ball Super Broly in a town about three hours away.  I dont know much about this series, but I knew enough to follow along.  It was really great! It sure did not feel like two hours! THATS for sure!! 
We left at 7 in the morning, got to the place in time to grab a bite to eat just a snack to tide us over so there was no need for concessions.  After, we went to Cracker Barrel.  I had never been.  I loved it.  The whole aesthetic was great, wholesome family friendly.  Walking through the gift store was fun.  I found several things that were cute and we also got to walk by the fireplace as we were walked to our table.  Delicious food ya'll.  I encourage ya to try it. 

On our way home we stopped by a store that we havent had in our town for about a year.  So much fun being in this store.  It was bigger so there were many more things available for us to look at. 

I then went to a movie with another friend when we arrived back in town.  That one was incredible.  It had me in the feels!!  There were some problematic kids there, and there were people sitting behind me that told them off and after they had been an issue for a good half of the movie, ended up cussing at them.  The kids left and did not come back.  Which was good because they kept messing with the lights.  The movie had me crying, thrillers aren't supposed to hit you in the feels like that!!

Overall I had a lot of fun. 

I am so glad that I have been working on this and the internet went out for three days!! So I am sorry that it is late.

New year

New year, new me!  I know we have all made these resolutions.
I love the way I am feeling though.  I have started eating better and drinking more water.  I have also been going to the gym every morning.  It is an amazing feeling.  In two weeks I have dropped 3 pounds!!  I decided that during Christmas break I was going to keep my school schedule and I started getting up an hour earlier than usual. I would go to the gym and then take my showers there too. 
It has helped in my new me routine.

I have also been doing more communicating with God.  I know, not everyone's cup of tea, but I feel that it is helping more than I knew that I needed.

I have also been trying to be more patient with my son.  We learned that he has severe combined ADHD.  The doctor said that he may have high functioning autism but his ADHD is too severe to make a full diagnosis.  He is finally eating more, but it is always the same thing:  sausage links and pancakes, ham and mayo sandwiches.  He loves sweet pickles and olives. 

So what is new with you guys this year!?
