This summer, Andy and I have been attempting self improvement.
Losing Weight: We've been relatively unsuccessful until recently. We said we would walk, swim, and go to the gym. We walked sometimes. We went to the gym once a week regularly, sometimes more, but not as often as we wanted. We went Monday. Then, I think we went for a walk. Maybe not. Yesterday, we went swimming - though it was more social than anything. Today, we will again go to the gym. And perhaps swimming. Neither of us have lost a pound. We want to get back to our old weights.
Our weakness? Aside from laziness...McDonalds.
Right now, I'm drinking pepsi bc I forgot to bring a water to work -_-. But usually, I drink water. All the time. So that's better than soda. Or even juice. Dude, this shit is not even cold.
Saving Money: This has also not proven well, as we like McDonalds. I buy a snack most of the time I'm at work. This needs to stop. We have, however, instead of eating something different all the time, been eating up the food we have in the house. Which includes a lot of pasta. So that's at least one area we've improved. I depleted my savings account thanks mostly to rent and bills, but I get it all back when the refund check comes in. Thank you, government, for keeping me clothed, roofed, fed, and entertained these past four years.
I just schooled someone in the newest video gaming trends, lmao.
Anyway, how else have we been trying to improve? I guess that's it. I mean, we try to turn off lights when we're not using them. And keep up with cleaning, I suppose. Both are at least somewhat successful, haha. We haven't seen a movie since the new Harry Potter - this includes renting. Not even redbox or dollar theatre. Boo! lol. We have so many video games that really we shouldn't want for anything else. I do, though.
I'm excited for school. I always am at first. I want like new highlighters even though my old ones are perfectly fine. I want new pencils even though I have a few lying around somewhere. I want a notecard holder...maybe I'll look somewhere online for discount school supplies, lol. I still have a few books to order.
Welp. See yall.
