Doin' Nothing

Its Monday and I am just sitting at home not doing much. I don't have anything really exciting to say. I haven't blogged in a while so I guess this is a really boring update! I woke up this morning, went to the gym, came home and had a nap. Let me tell you how much I love blackout curtains, these are the curtains that can make a room dark in the middle of the day and I love them!! The coach at the gym said one way to get a better sleep was to make your room so dark you can't see anything. I have done that and I sleep much better now at night time and nap time! I don't normally nap, but since I have been awake since 5 am and I have to work until 1130 this evening, I thought a nap would be a good idea. I feel much better and ready for work. I think for the remainder of the afternoon I will continue to read. The book I am reading is so good, not uplifting, but good. The book of Negroes is what I am reading. Its about a young girl who is kidnapped from her village in Africa who is shipped to the U.S. to be made a slave. Its heartbreaking in some parts, but an excellent story!

I went to the gym this morning. Let me tell you it was a tough morning. I did not want to drag my butt out of bed today, but at the end of the workout I was super happy I did. The hardest part about getting in shape is going to the gym, once I am there its great! I thought maybe after a couple of weeks of getting up at 5 am things would get easier. I have come to the conclusion that it will never get easy to get up at 5 am! 5 am is an god awful time of day, but I would much rather get up and work out in the morning then have to dread it all day and go at night. Al and I are still loving the gym, and doing really well! The benefit of getting up so early and getting home by 8 am is that there is a lot more time to do things. Speaking of things to do my laundry is finished and I must fold it. Have a great day everyone!

Loving Cross Fit

So its been about three weeks since Al and I joined Cross fit..if you haven't read the previous blog, or have any questions about what Crossfit is, pls google it, its very hard to explain, but its AWSOME! I love it. So what if I have to get up at 5 am to be at the gym by 6, and yeah when I go I get my ass handed to me on a silver platter, but its totally worth it! Whats even better is that Al is not so hateful at 5 am. You know the saying don't poke the bear? There is a reason that is a common phrase around my house. Al does not like mornings! I mean say good morning to Mr. grouchy pants, but in the last few weeks 5 am doesn't seem to be too bad! We both feel great, and have a lot more energy. Eathing healthier is a little more slow going, but its getting better. We are more aware of what we are eating. Now its just a matter of not eating it! That will come, the important thing is we are getting active, and becoming more healthy! I even heard Al say " I hate the gym, but I love coming to Crossfit". Imagine that, I wish I had a tape recorder at that exact moment.

Anyway thats all that is really new around here. Still love working at the dog grooming shop, and the pub is going fine. We are just living this thing called life, and enjoying each day!

Have a great day everyone!
