OMG a weekend



Last weekend I had no weekend as I was fully engrossed in projects, work and work projects. Somehow I trooped through the week and survived. Lo and behold...a weekend appeared and as far as I can see- it's MINES. MY weekend. Much needed too. I forsee cat snuggling, naps and my usual house stuff... hopefully disc golf. Definitely need to start a painting. I signed a contract to a new virtual show in the Fall and need to get new work rolling.

I have graduated from Phase 1 of Metabolic Renewal and start Phase 2 next week! Super proud of myself for not missing one workout and watching my strength increase. So far I've lost 3 lbs and inches just about everywhere. One of my favorite pairs of undies is loose 😳 and some drawstring pants I used to slip on- now need their drawstring tightened because they keep slipping down. Whaaa? 

Last workout of Phase 1. It was a butt kicking. It's basically a 15 minute workout on M, W, F with walking done on all the days you can make it happen. It totally makes you SWEAT and taps into some stuff deep inside you. 

Who's this smiling person? Smiling at work nonetheless! Two coworkers had just plied compliments and appreciation on me. They are glad I am there and make the workplace better. They applauded my work and positive personality. I truly think your "good vibes" can be contagious and definitely affect those around you. I don't walk around mired in a bunch of "mind poop" or negative thought. I make an effort to be PRESENT and MINDFUL when I'm in anyone's presence. I think that makes a world of difference. People can feel your good vibes.

So my treat for a hard week of reporting to everyone's fires and not resting or playing... Crispy shrimp salad for dinner last night 🤤🦐
I actually only ate half and the rest will be today's lunch. I'm making healthier eating choices and am feeling lighter by the day. I also invested in a cheap but thick foam mat for my workouts. My treat to myself. My old 10...15 year old thin yoga mat has served me well but needed an upgrade for these old knees. I'm realizing I never buy a damn thing for myself and use things till they fall apart and die. Will definitely need new undies if this exercise keeps working it's magic. 😂
 Up early for morning mileage and sweat... Seeing the scale move down a pound yesterday just renewed my vigor to keep at it. I'm trying to reach a healthy goal weight more in sync with my size and stature. Got a ways to go but progress is progress. Happy Saturday! Hope we all get what we want out of the weekend!

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...
