Backslider
Title courtesy of Toadies, not the Toadies... I was corrected last week by Wikipedia... they are not the Toadies, just Toadies. Remember "Possum Kingdom?" Great tune. It's on my to learn list with my guitar teacher. But "Backslider" is just as good a tune too... "Tyler" too... anyway...
After much procrastination and complaints from Missy, I am back on a fitness kick, and just in time too. Things were started to head way south in that department, and I mean way south. But, we're starting to take control of it. Missy can't do as much as she'd like to, being pregnant and all, but she's coming along for moral support, and to at least get some exercise in, every little bit in that arena is supposed to help, so hopefully it will. We're also on the lookout for a new gym. Our old one was really close to our old apartment, but our house is at least 15 minutes or so away, and its just a pain to get there sometimes. I know it sounds like an excuse, but it kind of is. Plus, I think I'm spoiled, my old gym at my parents house was around the corner, like half a mile, seriously. That was convenient! But we're going to look at a few places that are closer to our house now, so hopefully we'll find one, and soon! our membership at Gold's, our old gym is good until mid-September. I doubt it'll take that long to find a new one.
In the meantime, I'm going to seriously try to keep track of what I eat and the exercise I perform, mostly with the help of technology! Isn't it wonderful sometimes? I downloaded an app called Lose-It! that I can use to keep track of what I eat and whether or not its going over the calorie range I need for the day, along with whatever exercise I do and how many calories that burns. I also have a Polar heart rate monitor that I wear to the gym that keeps track of what I burn, and I can upload the data from it to their website and see lovely charts and graphs and whatnot to assist as well. I hope that all that helps make a dent. I realize that all of it is up to me and its just a matter of changing my habits and having some willpower. But I can do it! I got a kid on the way, it would be helpful to be able to keep up with the little tyke when it gets older, you know?
Other than that, nothing really to report. We haven't done anything else with the babies room. We're going to carpet it come September or so, then hang some closet doors, and maybe put up a ceiling fan, but that's about it. We'll go shopping for baby furniture and actually register at some point in September too. Hopefully sometime in the fall my father-in-law and I, and maybe with the help of my brother-in-law can start working on our half bath to start remodeling it. It needs it, desperately. The only other room in the house that really needs demolishing and rebuilding is the kitchen, but that's our project for next year, after the kid comes.
That's about it. Have a great day everyone!
