...in a perfect world

This is 44.

We have a Bowflex bike, I have the Apple fitness membership, I have an Alo Moves membership, and I am still unmotivated.  We live in an area full of bike/walk trails by the river.  During this last year I have been very inactive and doing any fitness leaves me out of breath.  

I just placed 2 Nordstrom orders, 1 Lululemon order and 1 Sephora order.  It’s payday and I’m stressed? 

Hopefully I don’t love any of it and can just return (online, that is)

This year we stayed home instead of going to my family’s for Christmas! There has been a lot of fomo for me as it has just been phone calls, pictures and FaceTime but I bought the kids an experience this year instead of useless toys they will forget about and my sister sent me 100 pics of them so it was worth spending a bit more. I wish I could have joined them as there were a lot of smiles but it just shows next year is a must.

I have been off since Dec 16th minus a few shifts at the part time job (it’s so much easier when I don’t work both!) and I go back Jan 2nd. I have needed this time off to reset with how chaotic this year has been. I haven’t gone to the gym or yoga once yet despite my plans but I do have a pass to use before end of year so I will get in a yoga class whether I like it or not! And hopefully I get back to gym in the New Year, not beating myself up! I’m still holding steady at 170. Last year I was 225. My hair has stopped falling out and I’m beginning to feel less tired, however I still have to get my diet back to being a bit more balanced as I still struggle to eat enough protein and all the food groups despite always trying.

Black Friday is a hard time to save $ and be on a budget.  I have been stalking these and Bose for a good price and these went on sale on Amazon Canada (US exchange rate is a b****) so I scooped these up. 

This skirt is mega comfy and somewhat flattering ...am I too short to wear a skirt this long?

This week I did all the things

It was a long weekend and I added an extra vacation day to balance out all the extra work, went to my old job and had lunch with my work bffs that I haven’t seen in almost a year (our planning sucks and we just never make time for each other, trying not to take it personally but also not coming back to that job for another year), dentist appt - hard stuff is almost done, specialist appt with good news and this morning a dr appt with my regular dr to go over bloodwork.

I thought for a split second my husband wanted to get out of town even just for the day but today he is all crabby about it and now I’m left disappointed

Last night I made: 

-Pumpkin sheet cake w/cream cheese icing (from How sweet eats website and it was a major hit

-Carrot lentil soup w/Harissa (boy is that spice hot!)

- Chicken tikka masala from Smitten Kitchen (great easy recipe!)
