I had it in my head that I was gonna get all this stuff done today, get all my comics in my pile read, finish all my journals at work, write all the words and… I read one manga while peddling after doing a bunch of ordering for work. I managed to write while I was on the desk during a downpour (since nobody was in the library) but it wasn’t nearly the word count I was hoping for and what I finished was kinda aimless, to be honest.
But I had my coffee. That’s the most important. Because I have like… 10 bags of coffee floating around the house? Yeah, I may be broke as a joke but if I have a chance to get coffee on sale or Elvira, Vincent Price, Korn, or Beetlejuice themed coffee; my bisexual, closet goth self is gonna fucking buy it, okay? It’s why I have all these points sites so I can get these things for free or nearly free. I don’t have many joys, let me have this!
Ahem… Anyway.
I pushed to 45 minutes and I’ve begun to do some body-weight exercises before bed. Some leg lifts, arm lifts, chest presses, and tricep kickbacks. Since it’s without weights, I do as many reps as I can stand in a set, rest my arms while I do my legs, then do my arms again. I did this last night and my arms were burning and remained sore the next day. I’m gonna keep doing that every night to build up my muscles. Friday will be doctor appointment and chore day (I’m still processing my first mammogram which is a trauma dump I’m not ready to put on my blog yet) so, it’s gonna be the type of day where I may not have time for cardio that’s separate from preparing to work all weekend; cleaning my work clothes and prepping food so I don’t order or hit a drive through like I usually do when I do overtime.
Oh, and I did make good on my goal to stretch more. I have a stretching app on my phone and I remember a few things from my days in dancing school and karate classes. It’s helping in my post workout recovery so I’m sore the next day, but not so much that I can’t keep up my activity in the coming days.
Don’t worry, I’ve taken rest days into account. I don’t tend to workout on weekends other than my squats, especially if I’m working all weekend. I’m usually just burnt out and want to go to bed. I haven’t been taking much OT for that reason. I’d rather try and sell more needlework; which I will be posting soon!
