The Best is Yet to Come

…it seems as though I’ve been making far too many wrongs lately - so, looking to correct that with an abundance of rights.

I’ll let you know how that goes.

As for what those wrongs are, well, nothing illegal so that’s a bonus. But rather, some personal choices regarding various areas of my life that I need to correct because the results from making those choices is toxic to my overall mental and physical wellbeing.

This ought to be interesting, since spending more time in the gym is a good outlet for any anxiety and also is a great time to refocus one’s priorities.

I love the holidays - but I hate the temptation! I’m proud of myself for doing as well as I have over Thanksgiving, especially since I was out of town - it’s always so much more difficult when you’re at someone else’s home.

Tonight is chest/triceps. Ugh. I hate working chest.

Diet going decent, except I missed breakfast this morning. I MUST get my ass out of bed earlier - it doesn’t help that I was up past midnight putzing around my place and that when I finally went to bed I couldn’t sleep.

But in good news, my tree is finished!

Right on time too! Started yesterday up in Wisconsin and I ended up driving through a ton of slush only to arrive at my home with NO snow on the ground. None! It was weird going from driving through a snowstorm to just rain.

Luckily, at some time after midnight the rain turned to snow and there’s a lovely blanket of white covering Chicagoland. They got dumped on so bad back up north that my nieces have a snow day and are off of school.

The holiday weekend spent with family and friends was just what my mind and spirit needed so I’m glad I was able to spend the time up there. Last year I didn’t go up for Thanksgiving because there was a snowstorm and it simply wasn’t worth a 4 hour round trip for turkey.

Happily, I only had 1 small piece of pumpkin pie which is a major weakness. My diet was pretty decent during my visit back home, but it’s much better now that I’m back with my own kitchen again.

The tree is up and I have some finishing touches to put on my holiday decorations, but after that it’s time for a good, sweaty workout. Woohoo!
