Hello strangers, yep I went M.I.A. again on you all. Life got in the way of my amazing blogging yet again. Sorry, I realize it has been a few weeks. So what have I been up to you ask? Well.. life.
Me & Jaz are still sticking with our zombie apocalypse training! Shocking I know since I tend to not stick with things long enough to make a difference but really.. Zombies are no laughing matter. It’s week 5 of the couch to 5km program and let me tell you what, I feel good! Not great, but I know that’s coming from me not eating as healthy as I should & not getting enough sleep. I’m starting to tone up & lose inches! It’s a great feeling, I’ve still got a long ways to go but hey, at least I’m out there running! We’re also on week 5 of the onehundredsitups program and the twohundredpushups! I feel just a little sore but not as bad as I used to be! I need to find some inspiration, I mean the whole looking good, feeling good & being fit should be enough motivation to get my ass off the couch & workout but legit, I’m having a hard time staying motivated. There isn’t a whole lot of change on me & I’m that person who needs to see it right away to keep on track. I was sick one week so I only did one workout. No explanation needed there for me to realize I won’t see a change. I feel like I almost need to start workout out MORE. No excuses but commuting drains a person & takes away precious time. I lose 2 hours of my day so it seems like ALL I do is eat, sleep, drive, work & workout. Once I don’t have to commute it’ll be way easier I think, plus I will only work 8-3 most days 🙂 Much more time! If anyone has tips on how to stay motivated & inspiration to stick to a healthy lifestyle, send them my way puhhhleeaase!
Work wise, today is my last day at this current job! It’s making me a little sad since I’ve been here a year already & really enjoy most of my co-workers! They gave me a great opportunity & I learned a lot, especially that I dislike tax season! I’ve put my availability into my other job and will be working lots of hours over the summer. This IS a good thing. I need the mooo-la! Loans need to be paid off pronto!
I’ve got plans happening left right and center for summer so I’m hoping I won’t get too stressed about being so busy. I need to remind myself to take some time out for me! I’ve got wedding, birthdays, babies(my friends of coarse.. not mine.. lol), camping & a states trip in the making & just hopefully lots of sitting around in the sun drinking a few(or many) cold beers!
Other than running & getting ready for Canada Day this weekend, I’ve been boring, kind of. This month hasn’t been as bad as some! I did go to see Randy Travis (such an amazing older gent & funny to boot!), did quite a bit of drinking around a bonfire, & went on a weekend trip with Jaz to her hometown. I actually learned a lot on that trip. It may or may not go into a post but just know that it was something that really should have happened a long time ago. I’ve got a little more clarification & peace & understanding since that trip. I’m looking more into a few different things about myself & everything will be great!
This day didn’t come soon enough for me. As much as I’m sad that I am saying goodbye to some great people, I know my life needs what I’m doing. I want to NOT worry about my finances every month. I know I could have achieved this by giving up a lot of stuff but I still want to have a life, have fun & not regret anything! It’s almost a bittersweet day though, I’ve been saying goodbyes for about a week since random people have today off & some were gone for training. I am so thankful for every chance that they have given me here. I will miss them & hope they think of me fondly after I’m gone! I’m going to go for lunch with a co-worker and her boyfriend & then after work I’m headed to my Auntie’s farm for a weekend of booze & food!
Hope everyone has a great Canada Day/Fourth of July/whatever you celebrate!! Drive safe & keep those beers cold!
PS.. GO RIDERS!!
