My Blog is Legally an Adult

 November 5th, 2007, this blog was born. **chuckle**

I've had it online, offline, public, private, deleted it, recovered it... we've been through a lot together! I just spent entirely too much time spiraling down the rabbit hole, reading snippets of the last 18 years of my brain-dumps, and have decided to keep writing. Why? Because. Why not. Maybe there's more to life than Meta, X, AI, Truth Social, TicTok, and all the other social media platforms that the koolkids use. 

For now, I'm going to head to bed... but be on the lookout - BOLO - for some new song lyric-titles,, Wednesday Wonders, Thursday Thoughts, and who knows what else! 

CHECK OUT My First Post...

Until Next time! 

5 Years Gone... How Facebook and Instagram Ruined My Blogging Habits....

I remember how we all laughed when people were reduced from the freedom of myspace paragraphs to 150 characters on "X formerly known as Twitter"... and then FB and IG became the popular forms of social media for me and I ever looked back! I also stopped looking at how I could express myself in more than one or two sentences and a photograph. That was the beginning of the hibernation period, we'll call it of my writing...  Then the iOS update that made the Blogger app obsolete.... and then the fact that my old laptop was from the Mesozoic period and no longer started up.... 

One Black Friday sale and 5 LONG years later, and here I am! To be fair I did write a little longer on my faith-blog, but it was never as inspired once I got more into the sarcasm and quips of social media... 

Oddly enough, I noticed that most of the blogs I followed from forever-ago haven't been active for about 5-6 years either! 

I'm going to bust out my brainstorming books again, get my topics going again, and hope to get some of my photography posting again too. Stay tuned for some exciting new content! I welcome you all to follow me on the journey that is my life! 

Bwahahaha! Diary-FAIL

SO, big surprise, I haven’t been writing regularly.... but I promise, I’ve been keeping up on my working out! Although I don’t think I’m going to renew with this trainer... he just doesn’t seem to listen, rather, be fully engaged in what I say. More times than not, I leave the gym and have to ice my knee after one of our sessions because he wants me to “just try” this or that... well, with my knee, it only takes one wrong POP! For me to be toast for a week!!!

Now I need to just make it happen on my own!

Day 5 - Leg Day

I'm doing a home-workout today, stairs, body-squats, calf raises, leg lift reps, and some good, hard stretching. The gym is always my preferred venue for a workout, but - meh - whatcha gonna do....

Day 3/4

Haha... So, I traded leg day for rest-day.... which means tomorrow is my new leg day.

As long as I don’t skip it! Hold me to it!!! Okay?

Today was cardio.... I didn’t do a specific cardio workout, but I remained active for 11 out of 12 hours, and got over 11,000 steps in today, and I’m pooped!

Let us see what tomorrow has in store?

Of course google/blogger won’t recognixe that I have any photos to add from my phone... *le sigh*

Day 2: Cardio & a FAT LIP?!

Well, I didn't make it to the gym... but I did get some cardio in around the yard before playing with Brynleigh got me a big ol' fat lip.


NO FUN.


No pictures from the apps from last night, since I'm posting while on my break at work & we can't access/download or anything here.  Too bad the blogger app doesn't work on the iPhone newer iOS. 


Until later today... today's workout is.... LEGS.  *cue dramatic music*

Day 1: Chest, Back, Cardio...

Here goes!  TRX kicked by BUTT at the gym, my trainer was amazing today, and I am feeling it, for sure!  Not a lot of words, here's my accountability post:

 

Not too shabby, just 1 gram over on my net carbs today!  WOOT!  And 120 oz of water consumed, with about 20 more (AT LEAST!) before bed....

What's your daily water intake?
