More Weekend Updates!

Tuesday! Last night we circuit trained. Jim is really helpful with hints and advice. He’s obviously knowledgeable on many things regarding general fitness and how to properly work out. This is essentially what I’ve been looking for, for about 3 years. Somebody that could, and easily accessibly help me with this – without costing me money to learn. (IE – Fitness trainer.)

So, that’s great. I feel like I wish I could do more pushups without caving, especially in the circuit sets. But I guess I have to walk before I run – so to speak. I can visibly see better arm muscles developing. This isn’t bad. I think I will also soon be enjoying the benefits of better lower abs (the upper abs are pretty fantastic anyway from running and hiking, the hiking was when they first developed.)

Yesterday was also a lot of fun overall. We got up, ate some breakfast. I can’t remember anything major except I drove to pick up mom to hang out for the day. She finished sewing my bathroom curtains (YEAY!) We went shopping for a few things at Target after we ate at Subway.

I got another dogshit scooper, paper calendar thingies to hang on the wall for Jim and my communal use, (we will be on the same page with schedule because, let’s face it… we’re both forgetful – him being a little worse than me.)

He is just less obsessed with writing his plans everywhere. Virgo thing vs. Leo.
Annnd lastly, a new shower head. The old one was gross. This one is great.
I looked at bouncy exercise balls. They look fun and would be a great seat addition to play on. And sometimes randomly do situps and pushups.

I’d rather choose one that is my favorite color and the Target ones were limited. I’ve seen some uber pretty ones out there… I am not in a rush, but going to a friend’s house this weekend which had one showed me how much more inclined I might be to do random pushups at any given moment if I had a big bouncy ball.

On one hand they take up space. On the other hand, so what. I have a huge entryway that cannot be used for much else and the ball would roll around there fantastically!

Anyways. So it was a good day. We hung out, took care of errands. I am still in need of cleaning and organizing room 5, and creating my altar space. Also personalizing the wall hangings in the 2 rooms to some of my own, and not just Jim’s. So far though, it looks great because it does have the Jim flavor – which is a great thing.

The other thing is we excitedly are enjoying our new pillows that mom sewed. She made pillows with pillow batting and fabric that matches my quilt that she made. We have 4 big cozy pillows, along with 4 bed pillows (we each used to have 2 in our separate beds before we moved in together). There’s a total of 8 pillows on the bed and it makes it look VERY inviting.

Awesome.
More perhaps later.


On a random note; I totally need more fitness icons. That is a quest. For the day. Either between busy things at work or later tonight. Maybe I will ride the recumbent stationary bike and mess with LJ tonight... my profile is kind of blah and not as current as it could be too. Hm.

On a closing note. This weather is wonderful and fantastically invigorating. I love it.
