I am not going to lie; I have been a lazy bum this weekend. With the Memorial Day weekend I have been blessed with an extra day of free time. So today I plan on running just a few errands and then heading off to the park with friends but I thought I would give you a little update.
I have officially become a member of 24hour Fitness. I absolutely dread going to the gym, it is the one place that I have not overcome the social anxiety – mostly likely because I just chose to avoid it then get over it. With the transition of bartending full time to my office job and sitting at a desk all day, I managed to put on about 10 pounds, but with the change of my schedule (getting out after 7pm) I put on an additional 10 pounds in the past 2 months. I have been saying for months that I am going to lose weight but my current exercise plans are obviously not working, so …the gym it is. I’m on my way to getting physically fit!
I started teaching myself to knit. Here is a glimpse of what I started. It has doubled in size since this photo but not sure if I am going to do anything with it. I want to try knitting with a smaller yarn because if I am not paying attention, I will accidentally split the yarn in half (hard to explain without a visual) but I am glad that I finally learned. I also don’t see myself doing much with it since it causes pain in my hands if I do it too many days in a row. Besides the knitting, I have started a new book but have only made it through the first chapter so not too much to say right now.
Last but not least, I thought this was too funny not to share.
I recently came across this horoscope for the month and I couldn’t agree more. While I won’t dive into the relationship part right now, I will say I have managed to improve my credit score by over 120 points! It really took a dive when I went without income and was living like I had more than enough. I paid off about 60% of my credit card debit and configured most of my current debit to have 0% interest. My goal is to finish paying it all off before the end of the year which I think is a possibility. With getting my credit under control, I am feeling more comfortable with searching for a home to purchase.
That’s about it for today.
If you don’t mind, I am going to hop in the shower, ignore the household chores for now and head out to enjoy a wonderful sunny day in my beautiful city! Hoping that Gigi’s Cupcakes is open because I have had a craving for awhile! May you enjoy your Memorial Day with family and friends and I leave you with this opinion page in regards to Memorial Day remembrance.
