Thank you @JCU, @NancyTree & @Anek! :lovely:



Today was a good day.

It was rainy, but less chaotic than yesterday. Everyone was in a good mood.

We have more rain & train track construction on the street right by our driveway at work, so I'm working from home tomorrow.

Will be mad if they change schedule for the repair, but I'll deal with that if it happens.

Miyagi was not happy today, he turned around at the door a few times it was chilly & wet enough out. He's out now, but hoping he'll have it out of his system and want to go to bed after I get off the computer.




Morning:
  • Good morning Jog to 300
  • My special blend of stretches that take about 10 minutes.
  • 30 Days of HIIT Program (3rd Day (1set) & 4th Day/3sets) - The 3rd day was a one shot that would be 18 minutes, but to save time I didn't rest between workouts. Held up good and was able to do the burpees one with no problem. Of course I did take advantage of the rests built into that one though. :happy:
  • Push-Up Shoulder Taps EotD (x20) I did it in one go.
  • Upper Body Blast Challenge (2nd Day/3sets)
  • Merlin WotD (3sets)
  • 7am Jog to 300 before I leave for work.



Lunch:
  • Jog to 300 x2




Stats:
  • 111 Active Zone Minutes (5,318 Minutes YTD)
  • 7,121 Steps (415,602 Steps YTD)
  • Distance: 3.13 Miles (177.07 Miles YTD)
  • Energy Burned: 1,902 Calories (113,365 Calories YTD)
  • YTD = Business Days Only. These days used to be 0 effort.

Today was a good day.

I worked from home as I said. The rain was pretty bad at times so I'm glad I didn't have to deal with it.

I had a low readiness score when I woke up, but I felt great so I did a bonus workout and was able to hit all 9 hours as active.

Poor Miyagi was really not happy with the rain, but instead of fighting me, he let me play with him a bunch. He's outside now, but he should be back before bed.

My emails were not sending to me on my phone through the day so I just had to go through all that spam. Then I saw something I wish I saw when it came, went overboard with it a little as I do and now I'm running behind a bit so I better wrap this up.

I'm in my no more screen time zone so I can sleep right now. LOL. :happy:




Morning:




Lunch:
  • Jog to 300 x2 - Got all 9 hours! :wiggle:

Today was a good day.

Less rain today and even some sun. Of course they did the track work I was trying to avoid, but it was ok.

I went to lunch early to see an old friend so I was back before everyone else went.

Miyagi came inside when it was time to go in the morning, so he made me late to leave, but it was worth it cause I'm always happy when he's safe from the cold. Just felt bad I was home too early for him on lunch for him to want to be back out so he was stuck til my husband got there.

But he showed me belly and let me kiss his paws when I stopped by. Plus I got to play with him more this morning.

Spent a little bit through the day trying to teach myself some new things that just may be useful down the line...

And now one of my Gordon Ramsay shows are on, so I'm going to go watch that now. Next Level Chef today.

Friday was was a good day and so is today.

Friday was a little bit chaotic at work, but not bad. Mainly just trying to crank customer reports out. A team member was on vacation last week so was a little nutty, so hopefully next week I can concentrate more.

Today I am going to see a minor league baseball game. Not a big sports fan, but it is always fun to go see in person. My husband and I like the minor league baseball and also soccer. :)

Today was a good day.

Got the bulk of my reporting done. I have to redo one for something minor in the morning, but what they want me to add is hard and will be annoying, but I like a challenge, plus the difficulty to execute might end up being funnier later. :devil:

It was also pretty warm today. Miyagi didn't interrupt my workout and I got to add a bonus to the mix since I flew through them.

My husband had eclipse glasses and gave me a pack of four to take to work. So I got to hand a few out and had a few peeks.

I mentioned elsewhere, my coworkers figured out from a prior eclipse that they can use a welder's mask to see it, so when the clouds were really bad, that helped.

Was pretty cool, I didn't see the totality, but I didn't stand out there for an hour, I just made a few trips. lol

And made a wish of course. Now hope it comes true and the eclipse doesn't make it not come true since it's not a shooting star. :happy:

You're welcome everyone! :welcome:



Today was a good day.

Went in a little early to try to finish up that one report I needed to revamp. Had a meeting at 9 and didn't finish it in time for that, but luckily no one was on my butt about it.

So it was a bit tedious to set up, but everything is set so I can do it going forward. And unlike a prior time/customer I did something similar for, this time the easy way to do it worked. So I can't tell if the lady I inherited the files from put a weird background setting that blocked my formulas on the other file or if microsoft just updated so I could do it.

I guess it doesn't matter. The meeting I had was fun. It was my team just going through some basic stuff on the new system they are building. I lead it and I showed them all sort of issues they were not expecting! And we only did one little part, there is much more stuff wrong to come in other areas. :happy:

The one IT guy was like, 'I was not expecting to have that many issues'. Almost all of the math the program is doing is wrong, wait til we get to that part. LOL

Oh and it was a super warm day with rain coming up the next few days so I wore one of my new flowery skirts today with some stockings. Felt extra cute. And Miyagi was super happy today. :)

And also had some glimmers of hope for other things from the distance. Soooo close and yet so far...hope I nail what I'm trying for!

I think I have to somehow try to stop myself from being annoying, but I'm annoying by nature. Good luck to me. LOL

Today was a good day.

Today flew by. Got a brand new computer & laptop at work, but with that comes with having to reset all my options which threw me off a bit, but got it set back large enough for the most part. Now instead of a big tower, I have a tiny little box on my desk. That works cause now I have more leg kicking room. LOL

Today turned into an arms day which was good as my thighs were nice & tight today. Not in an unpleasant way and they're still kind of like that. Pretty sure from skipping rests on the one longer workout yesterday.

I started my exercises a bit off from where I try to time-wise, but was even able to still fit in a bonus workout so was happy for that.

Didn't get to talk to someone I wanted to today, but a few other people came at me today instead. Almost wasn't able to "breathe" at a point, but all that really needed to still got done so happy for that.

Plus Miyagi who was out two nights in a row just came in and went to bed. So I should have some sleep near him time in a little bit. He's not a cuddler, but he is a sweetie in his own unique way. :lovely:

Today was a good day.

The day went super quick. I caught my boss's cold, but it's just an annoying running nose. Should have been drinking Emergen-C all week and not just today, but this one should pass fast. She wonders why I try to stay a distance away from her. lol

I'm basically disinfecting myself all day and try to stay away from everyone normally anyway. lol

It doesn't actually work for anything, but I like to take a deep nasal inhale of my hand sanitizer. Tread lightly, it's strong to a delicate nose, but I keep hoping it burns away germs. No I am not snorting any liquid, just using the alcohol fumes. :happy:

This morning I had lots of time then suddenly was overspent on time. I didn't get any bonus jogging before work, but I did extra on lunch at least. Just weird how that works.

Thank you @Anek & @Mamatigerj, already feeling a lot better thankfully! :ss:



Friday was a good day and this weekend has been kind.

Have a lot to try to get done early tomorrow, have an early meeting, but I don't want to think about that til I'm there.

Some other things I have been working toward for a long while are showing hope in coming together. And some parts where I thought I was going to have a fight might even exceed some of my expectations for livability. Very excited, hoping for good things to come!

My house phone line has been down for two weeks, but finally got the phone company in and they fixed it. Tomorrow when I talk to my daddy I'll be able to use the comfortable to hold kitchen phone. I hate talking on cell phones, lol.

Exactly, @JCU! Otherwise I have to use speaker phone. I keep forgetting about my earbuds. For me, those are for music. LOL

And I don't blame you @CODawn. I only use mine to talk to my dad. We talk once a week. Besides that, it's just a collection of incoming spam I will never answer. lol

But part of me is scared for an emergency, I'd rather call 911 on a landline then on a cell phone so they can find me faster...not sure if that's how it works though.



Today was a good day.

It basically felt like summer today. I wore a summer dress today with a blazer over it and just felt pretty.

Then I got a new box of outfits for the month from my subscription service. Such cute stuff, I can't wait to wear. :)

Keeps me motivated to stay on track with my programs!

Today was a good day in the all & all.

First my scale was dead & needed batteries. That set me back 10 minutes, but no problem.

My workout started later than I wanted and I had no time for a bonus workout, but I got what I shoot for done before makeup time.

During makeup time I dropped my new sun baked in Italy pressed face powder that I waited weeks in shipping for and it made a huge mess on the floor.

Normally I would have freaked out, but I let myself laugh. I was able to put the chunks back into the container, put saran wrap over it, and press it down back into the container.

It's no longer pretty and the different colored swirls are just all mushed together now, but it still works and looks the same after I put it on anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Despite the set back and emergency clean up, I still got makeup time done before make my 2nd cup of coffee to take to work time.

It was a beautiful sunny day. A little cooler, but still ok. I got everything at work I wanted to done.

Ten minutes before it was time to go, I noticed my food delivery service, Hello Fresh, didn't arrive yet. We were having it for dinner.

My husband offered to get me take out today instead of tomorrow, so he went to do that.

I got home and the delivery people were blocking my driveway.

So they came in time for me to cook and the takeout will be tomorrow's dinner as it would have been,. Now my husband doesn't have to go through the process to get it tomorrow. (He gets it hours before I come home on Wednesdays normally, so still would heat it after I do my hair.).

My One-Pan Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Melt was delicious. And low calories so I'm still in my deficit range for today.

So all in all a good day. Glad I didn't let the annoying parts bother me. :)

LMAO @TopNotch! I sort of miss not caring, but I haven't plateaued yet. And I'm about to finally touch on my current goal for the first time since my mid-twenties. Sooooo close I have to do it for the dopamine hit. :happy:



Today was a good day.

Well it was until the afternoon. I'm being set up to be taken advantage of at work. Not in a physical way or anything like that, but I keep losing more and more of the things I love to do and they are using their upcoming new system to shape a future of nonsense and tedious bullshit no one else will end up doing because "they don't know how".

I didn't volunteer to jump in during a meeting like everyone was waiting for. I'm on to their bullshit scams.

BUT I still have faith for my future and the karma police seem to be doing their justice without any effort from my behalf so I will curb my inner Frank Castle and save any judgements and sentencings for the universe.

Luckily my daddy taught me how to play chess.

Outside of that, had a great dinner and Miyagi slept inside most of the day. I woke up to him as well. He came in to protect me until I got up.

Who wouldn't love that?

Even with the brief nonsense it was still a good day. :)

Today was a good day.

Much better than yesterday.

Miyagi let me sleep by him most of the night.

Then he came while I was in for lunch and was happy to see me. Of course he lets me know that by using my leg (with pants on) as a scratching post while I'm making his lunch instead of just rubbing his head against my leg like most cats would, but that's what my guy does and I thank him for it. :happy:

Other things happened that made my day and give me a bit of hope, but I have to quiet the fear of the unknown.

Practicing positivity has been working me for the most part, so I'm going to hold on to that. :ss:

Friday was a good day and my weekend has been as well.

4/22/2024:



Today was a good day.

I forgot to mention on my last post, that when I work up Saturday morning, I was finally under my last set goal of 125 lbs (57kg).

Normally when this would happen, I would leave my fitbit on that amount for a FEW MORE WEEKS as I know it will go up and I'll need some more time to really pass that.

Except this time I noticed my calories for the day had shot up to 1,400 when normally I start off more around 800 and I have to exercise to earn more.

So I changed my goal down 10 more lbs. So shocked I haven't plateaued yet, but most likely the next 10 will be it or I hit the block.

Time will tell!

So mad at myself, the last few times I hit that 10, I left the goal and maybe that is why it took a lot more weeks than I was used to. I was eating to gain weight when I dipped under and I wondered why I gained so much on a non-Saturday. LOL

4/23/2024:

Thank you @JCU, @Mamatigerj, @Syrius, @Fremen, @TopNotch, @Sólveig & @Anek! :loveit:



Today was a good day.

Well, it was really annoying for most of it, but I try to disassociate myself from that. :happy:

The morning was nice. I got a good workout in. Was bummed I didn't have enough time for a bonus workout, but everything else timed well so there is always tomorrow.

I got Miyagi in right before bed and he let me sleep by him even though he wasn't all the way settled yet. He was also very happy for sunshine today and was generally happy.

Work is a bunch of annoying BS. Too much new system crap to test, too many meetings about the testing to interrupt the doing, some other n00b is pushing reports we already failed on us, I was already in the process of gathering examples of needed report things and got a new request to do just that...which is great except I have everything all nice & stapled and now I have to upload it over stupid shared files, I was going to have a lunch date tomorrow and was all happy I was meeting free and then they gave me another meeting, the testing things are a problem because I'm at the point I need other people to do their part and although I asked, no one is. One of which flat out denied to do it.

So whatever. It's not really my problem.

And then near the end of the day, my husband found news about there has been a breakthrough that could potentially lead to salvation from their nonsense. I just have to research a bit more if it will be in my best interest. But I have been working so hard at manifesting I really believe this could be what I have been trying for.

That's another time will tell type of thing. :lovely:

Thank you @Anek! Further research I did this morning shows it will still take some time, but luckily I am quite tenacious.



Today was a good day.

The meeting I had where I had to record something to demonstrate a problem went great. I finished it in 8 minutes out of the 1/2 hour allotted. So everyone was happy.

I was prepared and knew what I was talking about which always helps.

Then this one person I go out of my way to try to avoid, I think is going out of his way to run in to me and it's pissing me off. I hid under my desk at one point to avoid him and I'm not kidding. :happy:

I don't want to get into it as you never know when/if "Big Brother" is watching, but this person ruined a path for my future I was looking quite forward to and has no reason to bother me now. Our positions have no reason to mingle.

But everything else besides that was nice today.

Oh, except it was also Forget Everything Important Day! LOL

First I forgot my cellphone when going to work. Luckily my Spotify plays music for my radio and it cuts out when I get too far, so I know it happened and I turned around real quick. That was a blessing cause it was drizzling and I did not have my raincoat, so I took my raincoat.

Then for lunch and after it was a gorgeous, warm and sunny Spring day.

But then I forgot my phone AGAIN when leaving to go back to work. I laughed at myself, but wow.

Then I ran out of makeup remover wipes, the store I went to on the weekend didn't have any and I thought I had enough for another week. Oops. My husband was nice enough to offer to go buy them for me at least.

When he left, I jumped in the shower and as soon as I was done shampooing my hair, I realized I did not bring my towels in. So I had to run into my room to get them and it was freezing.

But no harm, no foul. Today was Mercury's last day in retrograde so hopefully my mind is better tomorrow. LOL

Today was a good day.

Time wasn't exactly my friend, but the day was much less annoying than yesterday.

More sunshine although cooler temperatures, but it was still comfortable.

I am the only one in my team who did anything for the reports we have to give feedback on. Plus I turned all the stuff I printed out and wrote details on in. The report people came over to thank me.

Last 40 minutes of the day got away from me. Had to report on a system bug I didn't know of on Tuesday, but found examples of today.

Took me the entire rest of the day so I couldn't finish my tasks the way I wanted to, BUT it really doesn't matter. Everything is really slow right now so will probably only take me 10-20 minutes to catch that up tomorrow.

Hopefully. lol

I do kind of like doing all this stuff out of my wheelhouse that my higher ups don't understand at all. Although I'm trying not to impress anyone though as my life when this part is over will be dead end with nothing to look forward to.

Thank you @CODawn! Sorry you have to drown in meetings, too.



Friday was a good day and so is the weekend.

A little bummed, two great opportunities slipped through my fingers, at least seemingly.

Things are still very up in the air so maybe not, but probably. Hope is given and then taken away in the same sentence. Very hard to work with that. :happy:

But I'm still very hopeful good things are to come, and can only hope that what will come will be around for me will even better for me then I expect.

Today was a good day.

Very warm outside and I got to wear one of my pretty new flowery skirts.

Miyagi only stopped back twice today, but this is his weather. It's going to cool off a bit tomorrow, so hopefully will get him a little bit more.

Also, I switched over my fall/winter to spring/summer clothes over the weekend. Was very happy it didn't take me too long at all and I got to donate three bags of clothes. Most of the pants looked like I can now fit in just one leg and some of these I wore for like ten years.

I kept just a select few of the nicer shirts & pants for "just in case", but I hope to never go back.

Today was a good day.

Miyagi came in at bed time and stayed with me til 2am. I had to sleep in the living room for that time to enjoy him, but he's worth it. lol

He was actually happy I stayed. He was under my ottoman in his fort for 20 minutes, then was happy when he came out and saw I was still there and didn't leave. I slept with on the floor for a little bit, then he went back under the chair. Came out a bit later and again was happy I was still there (now on the couch again).

I thought he might be hot so I turned on the air conditioner in the room. He did not like that, it was loud and was looking at it scared. I thought he was going to go outside, but I was laying so that he could come on top of the ottoman by me and was shocked when he did!

We were sleeping like that next to each other for hours until my husband got up at 2 to go to the bathroom. He noticed I wasn't in bed and thought I passed out trying to wait for kitty. We both perked up when he walked up, but then my cutey finally did want out so I went to bed.

Sounds not very restful, but that was the best sleep I had in awhile. :happy:

So that made me happy in the morning.

Work was neither great or bad.

Had a nice dinner and then got some really great news that I was not at all expecting that is a big relief. Hate talking about things I can't really talk about, don't want to jinx anything, but it was like a sign I have been waiting for and I'm very buzzed.

So yeah, today was now a great day. :lovely:
