Run club 3 miler complete. I got to witness someone running the farthest they’ve ever gone without stopping. Next week we have a city wide 1 miler event and that should be fun. I’m not trying to pr on this one. My fastest mile was on a treadmill for 7:30.

I’m close to buzzing my hair but I know I need to just go to a salon and ask for professional advice.

Today’s volunteering event is a shark week theme so you already know it’s going to be a blast.

Moving my desk and bookcase today and that’ll be the last of the large items.

Saw these adorable pigs today.

Acquired housing. Tried to pay and keep getting a wall.

Worked out tonight! Strength is coming back.

I met up with a slow running group this morning that recently started! Had a great time but ran too fast. The folks were friendly and relatively close to my age. Forgot to pause and then stop my watch.

Working with my nutritionist I’ve seen great progress dropping weight by tracking my macros, it's finally like my body understands what to do and it has been a relief.

Reading

I eased up on reading and this month and finished 2 books.

The Obelisk Gate- Essun continues down a path that becomes stranger by the day and she now knows what she must do!

Little bosses everywhere- this was a tough read learning about pyramid schemes, MLM‘s, and how they are a part of America’s history.

I’m taking steps to rebuild my life but I’m nervous. We’ve owned a home for the past 4 years and now it’s back to an apartment which is going to suck. It's going to be a rough few months. I plan to bury my head in pre-recs and hopefully get admitted for a masters.

Anyway I worked out tonight so that was nice.

Made it out to the adu and completed a workout today! Going through some stuff that zaps motivation but I’ve already scheduled time with a therapist to help me.

Went birding this morning and saw a few neat birds. Played pickleball and won both games. To be fair my partner played with a broken racket, so it’s not much of a win. Tried a past coworker’s seitan recipe and it’s tasty. Just wrapped up a workout and feeling it!

Just finished a decent workout. I’ve been in water about 20 hours this week working. Habitat restoration is a good ab workout.

I started two summer month long classes put on by my city. I started with a grant writing classes that was canceled when the teacher failed to show and then said oh yeah I’m not doing that. Second glass is golf basics. My partner is a very experienced golfer and while she’s tried to teach me her level is a bit tough to learn. I had a good time learning the clubs and swings. Hopefully by the end of the month I’ll be able to hit the ball a decent percentage of the time. She doesn’t know I’m taking these lessons and I hope it’s a big laugh for her once I ask her to play a round with me.

Volunteered today with these dudes. Hit a bike ride and a lift after dinner. Had to take down a protein shake to get the macros. I am fulllll. Also I made seitan banana bread and although the video and many commenters said it was good, it is not.

Now I’m off to put a few more hours into coral island. Great farming sim if you’re into those.
