Saturday I was in the attic.

 

 

 

 

I look really happy right? Ha! I learned a valuable lesson ALWAYS WEAR A MASK AROUND INSULATION! Lesson learned. I didn’t wear a mask for a little bit and had some repercussion from it. I couldn’t breathe and I had a cough for some hours also my throat hurt. I am glad that only lasted the rest of that day.

We are putting a new fan in our bathroom as the one we put in last year is pathetic. This time we are piping through the attic and out through the side of our house.

Yesterday was Labor Day and a day off. We had to go to Menards. For a day off it seemed like everyone was at Menards. We had to stand in line to return things and wade through the people to get to things. It was dumb however I got Dunkin Donuts coffee so it was worth it.

Everyday I get up in the morning and workout. Me in the morning. Crazy! I am so not a morning person but I make myself go and workout. I have to do it in the morning so I don’t think about it. I learn the more time I have to think about working out, I will not workout. By forcing myself to wake up early and workout and no time for thinking, I am making myself feel better throughout the day. By getting up early I feel really tired at night. Which is a good thing this way my brain has no time to think about anything before going to bed. I have a bit of problem with that and usually takes me some time to fall into a deep sleep. By working out not only I feel a little change in my body but also my mood. I feel happier and I still get that boost of energy in the middle of the day. Usually mid day I feel tired and want more coffee. Now that I workout I don’t get as tired and feel no need for extra coffee.

There has only been a few days where I was really sore the next day and it was hard to workout. I always think the routines are hard and think that I won’t be able to function through the day. I am usually wrong as my muscles aren’t as sore as I think just only a few days last week. Something I did notice that I am gaining some flexibility. When I first started I couldn’t grab my foot behind me on the right side to stretch the leg. Now I can grab my foot on the right side no problem. Also my arm that I hurt badly is starting to get stronger! I am excited for that as it was weaker from injury.

I have five weeks left on my workout program.

Tuesday Jeff and I saw The Hitman’s Bodyguard in the theater. Oh wow! It was great and funny! Love the action and Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson played so well together.

Today we went to GingerRootz for lunch with Ken and Elena. It was a great time to see them.

Friday was a fun day in a way. I got to see Miss Lori she does my hair. In fact she has been doing my hair for over ten years. This time I just had her dye my hair and thin out my hair as I have thick hair!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the back of my head! Those are my natural curls and they are looking so cool! Next time I see Miss Lori I am going to do highlights! I haven’t had highlights in my hair for a very long time, so I am excited. In my opinion the best part going to a salon is getting my hair washed. That’s my favorite because I get a head massage. So worth it just for that.

Sunday was Jeff’s birthday but he had to work. So we will celebrate a little on Wednesday and a little on Friday. Ha! On Wednesday we are going to see The Hitman’s Bodyguard. On Friday we are meeting Jeff’s parents for some good Chinese food. Jeff has Wednesday till next Tuesday off as Monday is Labor Day and most people have no work that day. I think it’s great, Jeff could really use a break been going non stop for almost two weeks.

I am tired. Ha! Second week of Fitness Blender. Today was an intense workout and I didn’t eat well on Sunday. However I love the extra energy I get from working out and I lost two pounds. Which is great because that means I officially lost fifty pounds all together. YAY!

Saturday my parents came over and we went out to eat. Then we went swimming! It was a lot of fun because it was hot outside. I swam for three hours before being really tired. Also on Saturday I worked out before they came over. I couldn’t believe I swam for three hours after working out that day.

Sunday I was exhausted!

Sunday we had to go to do family things. My cousin Kathy came home she now lives in Georgia. I told Jeff we should live in a different state this way when we come home we could have a party just for us. Ha! It was good but a bit awkward. I knew there were going to be people I didn’t know but that wasn’t the awkward part.

It was nice to see Kathy and she got married. It’s hard to do know what she is up too since she is the very few people I know who isn’t on Facebook. She has two kids a boy and girl who were super cute. We gave them a congrats card with some money. However her mom didn’t tell anyone it was her birthday. We would have gotten her something for her birthday.

Jeff and I stayed for three hours which is long enough. Here is the awkward part. Wanted to say goodbye to Kathy and there was some awkward silence and saying goodbye. You know how that is sometimes. It’s like um bye nice seeing you then leave. Ha!

I wore this shirt:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s my most breezy shirt because it was so hot outside and it looks nice on me. Now I call this shirt Please look at my chest shirt. Went to Kwik Trip and the cashier didn’t even look at my face just my chest the whole time. I wanted to check out the Dollar Tree in Green Bay. There too some of the male shoppers stared at my chest.

You think I would be used to that since I know I have a large chest but still it bothers me sometimes. I am not one of those girls who flaunts that so to me I think it’s rude. If anyone is going to do that make it less obvious.

We did it. We fixed the front of the house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks great!

This week is my first of 8 weeks of exercising from Fitness Blender. I get up every morning and exercise. I have to say every morning I have no motivation to exercise but after I do it, it’s  like I accomplished something. I bought the 8 week weight loss program and every day I get a video and a bonus video to do. The only thing I am having trouble with is laying on my back. On Tuesday there were some exercises on the floor and I hurt myself. It sucked! Since I have bars fused to my spine. Laying on back I felt my bar pinch my muscle. Yes it’s a real thing that happens! I felt like crying, that hurt so badly! I did not cry though and it did go away later that day.

On Wednesday was HIIT workout and yes some of it is on the ground. I improvise like do the same exercises that is the standing one as they are doing floor stuff. Also I will never be able to do the stretching position cobra, not with my back.

So far though I have a lot more energy to do things during the day.  I think it’s fun working out with the team of Fitness Blender. It’s much different then any of the workout videos I have ever done in my life which is a lot. Also you can tell they are having fun too so that makes it better.

TV/Movies

Posted on by under Everyday Life, Movies, TV

I have a new favorite TV show. Preacher! I can’t wait every week to see it. I love how gory it is and the characters are awesome! I don’t read comic books so I don’t know what will happen but I heard it’s pretty close to the comic. Also the woman who plays Tulip is awesome she is my favorite character of the show. Tulip is such a bad ass.

So you know when you look up a show you see what the actors played in. I saw the woman who plays Tulip and the guy who plays Cassidy played in the show Misfits. I have been watching that too. It’s funny because I saw it on either Amazon or Netflix and it looked good but then forgot about it. OH! Misfits is an amazing show! Each episode has it’s own unique story line plus it adds all that someone watches up till then. I started two weeks ago and I am in the third season and there is five seasons. There isn’t a character on the show that I don’t like. Too bad there is only five seasons. I hope it ends good.

Speaking of ending shows Turn. I loved that show as it’s a history show about the Revolutionary War. Not just that it was about spies. It’s funny because if someone didn’t know about the Revolutionary War you would really think some of the characters would die but in history they don’t. It’s like having an insight of the show. The way that it ended was perfect! Couldn’t ask for the perfect ending of a show.

Jeff and I started watching the Fear of Walking dead. We tried watching that show before and it was boring! But one of Jeff’s co-workers said keep watching it gets better. So we did and now we are going to catch up to this year. It has a lot of action in it even though me watching so many zombie movies there are some real dumb things the characters do as well.

On Friday Jeff and I went to see Atomic Blonde. I really wanted to see it on the big screen. I have to say the story was a bit confusing in parts. The action though made up for that. It was great! She kicked so much ass.

I had it all planned for last Tuesday and of course didn’t go as planned. I signed up my mom, April and I to do painting in the park. Of course living in this stupid little town because they only had us signed up they canceled it. Dumb! I am mad because it was almost a hundred dollars for all three of us. Even having three people they should have done it. The lady said because there wasn’t enough signed up like she hoped. You made money just do it as you said. Anyway they moved it too September 14. I think it’s so dumb.

The plan was drive on Tuesday to April’s house which is an hour an half, take her to her lesson, have lunch come back to my house. Have her sleep over and drive her back home. Now I have to do that in September but it’s on a Thursday. What I am mad about is September 15 is our wedding anniversary. Wanted to spend the whole day with Jeff and now I can’t. It’s not April’s fault it’s this artist who is putting on this painting in the park.

If it was like ten dollars to go paint in the park, I would say forget it. But it was a lot of money to go and paint in the park. So I will just go and do it.

So Tuesday was the day of all my plans. I went to see April anyway and it’s always fun hanging with April. In her small town they have an awesome coffee shop! I am jealous because our coffee shop isn’t as good. Then I drove April to her riding lesson. Remember Marc from April’s show and how he wasn’t as caring? He did a 360 on me on Tuesday! I told April there is no way I can go in for her lesson as I am allergic to everything in that place. I brought my Kindle with me to read and past the time. I sat in the car for 2 hours but it went fast with my book.

However Marc came out in the beginning and asked if I wanted something drink like water or soda. He even chatted with me a little. WHAT?! He actually came out another time to get April’s phone for video. He chatted with me about my Kindle and he was being nice. I was like what is going on?! He was being a totally different person. At last I judged too quickly, I am only human. I am using that an excuse. One on one he isn’t bad but show day not the greatest personality. 

After her riding lesson we did some errands and had more coffee!

This Sunday I was supposed to go to Sunflower Festival but it rained and stormed. Totally sucked because I wanted to see the sunflowers. I was supposed to go with my parents. However they did come up and we had have brunch. At the restaurant they had brunch but it was 15 dollars per person! I have to say that brunch isn’t worth 15 dollars, I would say 10 dollars at the most. There weren’t anything really impressive about it, so that sucked.

We did drive by the Sunflower Festival. I got this nice picture of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Besides it being rainy, it was nice to see my parents.

Not a whole lot going on lately. Was supposed to work on the house but Jeff had to work this weekend. Also I didn’t feel well woman problems. So this weekend I watched some movies. I have been watching a lot of zombie movies lately and finding out how much shit is out there. Why is it so hard to find a good zombie movie?

I did find not a zombie movie more alien which is good too. It was called Plan 9. I didn’t know it was sort of a remake mixed with other zombie references in it. It was cheesy fun and shot very well. Since I didn’t know it was sort of a remake I had to look up the original. It’s called Plan 9 from Outer Space. I looked up the reviews on IMDB and the reviews weren’t great but some where good. I loved it! It was also cheesy fun. I actually liked it better than the sort of remake. That movie is a keeper. I would definitely watch that again.

I also came across a pretty good zombie movie. It’s called Dead Weight. Sometimes I come across some pretty good zombie movies. I thought the movie was good because it showed more of the human condition then the actual zombies. Which you don’t really see the zombies but you hear them. I think those zombie movies are just as good, still gives that creepy factor. It’s centered around the character Charlie.  He literally does everything he can to get to his girlfriend during the zombie apocalypse but also shows their relationship before then. He did things where people do not come back from kind of stuff to get to his girlfriend. In the end it shows how unfair people can be towards one other. What I thought was funny in this movie was he had to get to Wausau Wisconsin. It didn’t say that in the description so when he said it, I was laughing. I was like no way in Wisconsin! Good funny there. However good zombie physiological movie.

Jeff and I watched Get Out. I have to say I wasn’t expecting the twists in that movie! Totally got us off guard. We both figured out the first one that was easy but all the others and the end! What?! Great movie! The description goes just saying it’s an interracial thing but it’s way more than that. Wow freaky! I would so recommend this movie to anyone.

On Saturday I went down to see April. I agreed to help her clean out her apartment because she needed help doing so. I underestimated her being such a pack rat. Ha!

April hordes mail. I thought that was crazy. She had mail when her brother lived with her. Now that had been some years! It was crazy and sort of funny. Also she found 10 dollars now that is awesome. However I win finding the most coolest thing ever!

Earlier this year April lost her class ring. She has worn that thing ever since she got it. Well since she lost all that weight it fell off. Never to be seen again. Until…I found it! I found it in a purse and the funny part is she said she was no where near that purse. So there is no way it could be there. I guess I was the one supposed to find it.

I spent eleven hours at her house that day. However we didn’t get right away to work. Of course not. Ha!

Near April’s place is a place called Tera Verda coffee shop. They had this funny sign in it.

 

 

 

 

The coffee so good! We have to go back.

 

 

 

 

We threw away so much stuff! However we didn’t even get a room done. It’s going to take a long time to clean her place but I think we can do it together. And if she continues to do a little every day that would help too. I think she will. April’s apartment is a 2 bedroom and one bathroom. It’s quite big in there. Once everything is done I think it will look even bigger.
