Wins & Losses

I have a confession to make...

I skipped the gym today *gasp!*

I know, I know... I'm a terrible person. Especially since it was not a scheduled rest day according to my 30 Day Squat Challenge. But after a full day of training at work, my head was pounding something fierce and I just couldn't fathom spending one minute at the gym, never mind the minimum of an hour it takes me to get all of my stuff done. I will absolutely HAVE to go tomorrow!

Progress!

Exciting news, loyal readers... my projects have finally found their permanent home upstairs in the last of the spare bedrooms to be renovated!!!

The third and smallest bedroom upstairs has been our pantry for the last 6 months while we were renovating our kitchen. Now that our kitchen has finally been done for a few weeks, the SO and I got around to putting the rest of the food/tools/etc. away, which left the bedroom empty and ready for furniture!

I am excited to show you the pictures!

Still Alive, Still Walking

Today marks Day 7 of my 30 Day Squat Challenge and I am still alive and kicking! Most important is the kicking part, which means I must also be at least still capable of walking...

I'm obviously a terrible blogger for not previously sharing what it is that I'm doing exactly. So without further ado here is the schedule:

30 Day Squat Challenge

Well folks... I am just over one month away from my tropical vacation!! Feels like it has been a pretty slow start to the countdown, I must say.

But ahh, vacation! I am still beyond excited. I can picture it now... me, lounging on the beach, a cold drink in my hand (ideally with a little umbrella in it like they always have in the commercials), a thick layer of SPF 1000 coating my pale and delicate skin... and beside me, my SO, who will be virtually black from the hours spent in the sun, sitting there laughing at me and my unfortunate complexion. Surprisingly the thought does not rain on my parade in the slightest!

Countdown Begins...

A couple of blog posts ago I announced that I had officially booked my very first tropical vacation! In the weeks since, I have made a couple of decisions:

1) I need new bathing suits! I don't know what your thoughts are, but I feel that an exciting event such as this warrants a bit of shopping. I would say it's similar to what people say when they have some big fancy event to go to - "I must buy a new dress!". So, I have hit up Victoria's Secret and should have 3 new swimsuits arriving within the next week or two :). Which led me to decision number 2...
