2018 Journal #3

I've been feeling rather good this past week or two. I almost didn't write this blog because of it. I figured, though, that one of the reasons I was feeling better was because of this blog. So here I am. I can also attribute my good feels to several friends who are keeping in touch, keeping me accountable.

Speaking of which, I went to the gym twice this week. I also helped a pair of friends move, which was a workout. Their couches were fucking heavy. 

Back to accountability, I am using a calendar markerboard I have in order to keep myself aware of my successes. If you can't see it properly, I am making an "X" every time I go the gym, and a SQUARE when I'm not drinking soda.

Saturday has been updated with an "X" as well. I definitely had soda at my friends house (they provided pizza and soda as payment for helping them move.)

The other thing I've been doing is getting back into the kitchen. I love cooking. It is a frustrating endeavor at my dads house (utensils are rather random here), but the reward is fantastic. Living with my dad and seeing him and his lady's surprise is always amusing as they look and go, "You're cooking again! What are you making?" 

I still did slip and go to Taco Bell on Friday, I didn't prep a lunch for work, so when lunch came around I went through the drive thru.

This next week my little brother Chase is staying with us. Kristi suggested He and I go to the gym when he's here. He thought it was a good idea too, so we're going to go to the gym throughout the week, and we are going to juice some fruit and cook some more food. I'm trying to be a good influence while I live here. He's fourteen and plays a lot of video games, but has so far enjoyed everything we've been doing when he's staying with our pop.

I'm going to go write some more, but on a story.
Yes, I've been doing quite a bit of that too. It's EXCITING.

I'll post some more of that later.
Toodles.
