Me Time Again!

Wedding done.  Check.
Inventory over.  Check.
Time to get back to ME time.  Check.

Today, I went to the gym on my lunch break, and didn't just "play around" with some cardio.  Some serious arm workouts today - and now?  Noodle Arms has set in!  I was OK with my food intake, could have been better an keeping the calorie count lower, but I stayed mostly within my guidelines, considering where I'm at, and how active I am.

11k+ steps today, which earned me a new fitbit badge:

  • You've earned the New Zealand badge
  • You've walked 990 lifetime miles—the entire length of New Zealand.

990 miles - that's a lot of mileage since mid September 2015.  even if we call it 9 months, that's 100 miles a month.  OK.  I'll take that.   :D

I'm committing myself to making sure I'm doing more things for me again, getting in my workouts and my walks.  I'm also focusing on my home and home improvements.  Latest project:  fixing up my son's room now that he's moved out.  My goal is to make it a guest bedroom.  So far, it's been painted a soft blue-grey called "Quiet Rain".  The closet was emptied and painted as well - Sunlit White.  All of my son's things that he left behind are in boxes, ready to be labeled and restacked neatly in one half of the closet.

Family is.. Wood and Metal Planks Wall Hanging
I have hung two things on the walls so far:  one is a rustic board in an off bluish - green that has 3 hooks attached to it.  It's right behind the door, handy for guests to hang jackets, purse, etc.  The other thing is something I found at Target.com but wasn't available for ordering.  I had to track down a store that had it; I drove over and sadly, they didn't have it.  But the nice guy who checked me out happily put the numbers in his little computer-y thing and told me the Chandler South store had one.  After work on Monday, I zoomed over and picked it up.


Home Decor can be fun -- when I get to make all the choices, of course!  haha
