Back to the gym

I’ve been a bit mum about it, but I’m hitting the gym 3x a week again. Mom and I have been going and doing 30 minutes on the treadmill each time. Plus my stomach crunches and assisted chin ups. I feel good about going back.

I can’t lick this weight thing until I begin to move more and eat less. I think of it like trying to rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time. To be successful, I’d have to start one action, and then start up with the other. So I’m still eating poorly, but once I get a few weeks at the gym behind me, I’ll be more likely to eat better.

This weekend we cleaned up and packed away our kitchen. It looks so empty now, with the cookbooks packed away and the fridge bare of magnets. And it looks 20 times cleaner ! 🙂

Yesterday, we went back to the furniture store and added a sectional to our bedroom set order. Why? Because our living room can only seat 3 – a loveseat and a chair. The sectional will seat 5ish, and features THREE recliners! And it looks a little something like this…

…but not exactly. Ours is smaller. I’m worried about the light taupe color, but it’s so comfortable, it’ll definitely give the nap chair a run for its money.

Still watching season one of the Sopranos and lovin’ it. Makes me wish I had HBO all these years.

Max ran off with my Hundred-Dollar-Retin-A tube the other day, but managed NOT to damage it or himself. Dog has a death wish…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
