Happy with progress for the first two days + OH NO CORONAVIRUS

Monday and Tuesday at work have been non stop-production issues. I made sure to get out for lunch today so I wouldn't work straight through and start making errors due to hunger. Last night, I did some studying for my exam, and several bodyweight exercises. Tonight, I went back to the gym, and it was great! The rest of the resolutionists have gone, and now there's enough room for everyone, and places to park. I went through one of the strong curves workouts and felt rather, well, strong. I increased the weight a bit, and still felt my form was consistent and correct.

I didn't get home until a little later than I had planned, and was rather tired by that point, so I just talked with one of my friends and then called my mother to tell her that the coronavirus is now in my county. They were planning to come see me in a few weeks, but might change their plans and make the trip in the summer.

As for me, I'm washing my hands every time I'm going from a place with people to my own area, whether it be my desk or my home. I also stocked up (last week, because I know this week it would be ridiculous) on rice and beans and I already had frozen rolls, meat and vegetables. I'm confused at the people continually buying bottled water.

And, clearly I've not done a great job turning off the computer at 9 - It's almost 9:30 and I'm just now finishing up my blog post! Time to calm down and listen to today's meditation in Calm.

Halloween Party and my costume

Image
This weekend, I attended an awesome Halloween party, and even dressed up as Hermoine Granger. I admit, it was a bit fun to dress up as Hermoine Granger. I took a lot of thought for my costume. I started searching for costumes on August 26th, and found a costume site on September 13th:  https://www.moviescostume.com/harry-potter-gryffindor-uniform-hermione-granger-cosplay-costume-adults-ver.html However, I didn't want to just drop over $100 on a costume I'll likely only wear once. What else can I do? Can I just build the costume from regular clothes? After all, Hermoine mostly wore a school uniform for the first few movies. Certainly I could do that. I set off to build my uniform. I got the skirt from Lands End. The socks , blazer , patch ,  tie  and wand from Amazon. The shirt came from J Jill, but I bought that about ten years ago or so, and the shoes I purchased last year from Belk. I referenced this guide to learn how to tie a Full Windsor Knot, a tie style wit

Board games and near the end of the gym challenge

Today was another success! Went to the gym after my two cups of coffee, warmed up the rest of the Picadillo for lunch, and finished a few chores. This evening, I was invited to a board game night with a few friends. We played Spinjas and Stuffed Fables. The gym was my last arm/chest routine day until the 31st, where I'll do the full body routine and see where I gained. I'm certain I didn't lose weight - way too many cookies and candies around to snack on, but hopefully I'm stronger. I certainly feel stronger and better, and that is enough to keep going. I'm looking forward to getting a better diet in January by not having sugar for the month, and continuing to go the the gym - just not daily. Stuffed Fables is a really cute game! We played Story 1 where a girl's blanket is stolen from a little girl's bed, and the Stuffed animals characters, Theadora, Stitch, Flops and Lumpy have to travel through the underworld to rescue the blanket and get back to bed b

Jose and Sons review

 I went with one of my friends to Jose and Sons Mexican restaurant on Glenwood Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road. I picked this place as I'd hear a lot of good things about it, and we were there early before the place got busy.  We were not impressed. The server was slow to get us our drinks, and did not get us chips and salsa, bur I could see his other tables got chips and salsa - turns out it was from a runner. We got ours eventually, (not from the server) but the first five minutes of our meal, we just stared at a bowl of guac and our two waters. No matter, maybe he was new. Maybe the kitchen was frying a new batch of chips. Maybe the bartender was new. While waiting, we noticed that the place looked like it needed new paint. In our booth, the pink paint was chipping off the wall. I was confused, because I thought they just moved here from downtown. They didn't even give the place a new coat of paint before moving in? The chips were warm, not hot, and the salsa was very sweet.
