to die and so to grow

Starting off the day by embracing the Valentine’s spirit with relish. Yes, I know it’s two weeks away. No, I don’t care. Haha. I’ve spent a long time sort of ignoring these minor holidays because it felt like no one really cared but me and I also don’t like the overcommercialization of them. But I’ve realized that I was just making myself sad and not changing anything… plus it only takes a little effort to make it feel special and even if I’m the only one enjoying it, that’s still worth it. So this year I’m going to celebrate however I want with no shame!

Using my walking pad for the first time today and I’m so excited! I am just aiming for 2 miles today because I’ve been very sedentary for a while and don’t want this to be an unsustainable habit. But my goal is to work up to walking 5 miles a day.

And bonus picture of this adorable wreath I found at Goodwill 💘

It’s going to be a good day.

On the schedule:

- Work; light day thankfully

- Trying to get some movement in at my standing desk

- Workout with TH later

- Friends coming over in the afternoon

- Trying to get some reading in

It’s been a long day, but it turned out better than I thought.

- Slow day at work thankfully so I painted my nails. I was going for Neapolitan ice cream haha but they turned out a little silly looking. Oh well, it was fun.

- Ordered myself a walking pad to use during work!!!!! I am very excited about this because it’s something I’ve wanted since I started WFH.

- Found a new music artist I really like. Think a little country, a little Scottish, a bit indie, sort of Gregory Alan Isakov ish.
