Day #83 – New week, new me

Aloha amigos! Happy start to the week! I’ve been getting in the habit of the first thing I’m doing in the morning being to tell myself “today’s a magnificent day to be happy!” It’s really helped me to start each day more positively, and I 100% encourage this idea.

Today I was able to do a short arm workout, which felt fantastic. I also didn’t have much to do this evening, and I’m so glad. I’m ready for ab day tomorrow! I love getting to be active again and I feel like I’m getting back into the habit of exercising regularly again.

I hope you’ve all had a great day and I’ll talk to you then. Today’s a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #82 – Ending the weekend

Aloha! I hope today’s been wonderful for you as is has been for me!

Today has been the break I needed after the last several day’s. I was finally able to relax and have fun, something I’d been unable to do with all the stress of the past week or so. Plus, I got to work out today, which was fantastic!

My workout today consisted of about a 400 calorie HIIT leg day, plus some stretching/yoga and rowing. It felt so good to sweat and tire out my body… I had very much missed exercising the past few days, and I’m glad to be back in the swing of things.

I’m not thrilled about going back to normal life tomorrow, as I know I’ll likely have so much work tomorrow night and I really want to workout again. I’m going to do my best to knock whatever I have out and to do arms tomorrow!

I hope this weekend has been great for you. Remember, tomorrow is the start of a new week, meaning new chances and choices to make your life better! Today’s a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #81 – Sour lemons of life

Hello my lovelies! Happy Saturday. I hope you have all had a great day.

Today has been a very emotional, difficult, and stressful day (as I’d expected). I felt very anxious and I didn’t enjoy today as I would on typical Saturdays, so I’m very glad it’s the end of the day.

This evening has been better though… I relaxed with my family and calmed down a bit. I didn’t have the energy to workout, as I’d felt sick earlier and I was 100% drained (as yesterday). I’m ready for the new day tomorrow and a new chance to enjoy life more. I feel like today was a figurative lemon of life… sour, yet will fade soon.

I’ll talk to y’all tomorrow. Adios! Today, even though hard, is still a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #80 – Drained

Hello my lovelies and happy weekend!

Today hasn’t been the most fabulous day for me. I’ve had a very stressful day and a bit of bad news this morning, which I don’t want to get into. I felt down and discouraged after that, though I did do great on some of my projects today. I haven’t felt as optimistic as I typically am today, which I feel like has been mainly because of both the workload I’ve had put on me this week and some personal life stuff going on. I’m preparing for what I know is not going to be the best day tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow evening when I’ll be able to relax.

I still didn’t exercise today. I’ll likely be able to do so tomorrow, and I’m going to push myself pretty hard. I’m ready to fully restart my typical schedule, which I haven’t kept up during the last week.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend! I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Today’s a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #79 – Almost the Weekend

Aloha people! Welcome to or back to my blog. I hope you’ve all had a great Thursday!

Today’s been a pretty good day. Nothing spectacular happened, though also nothing horrible… although I did again have to bring home very much work. I finished it much quicker than yesterday, though… thank goodness!

I didn’t work out today. I wanted to, though I had absolutely no energy from how mentally and physically exhausted I was with my late night and hard work. I just couldn’t pull myself to workout… I probably should’ve, but I don’t want to beat myself down for one day.

Tomorrow I may or may not be able to exercise. If I do, great; if not, I should definitely be able to on Saturday. I hope you all have a great rest of your day! I’ll talk to y’all tomorrow. Today’s a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #78 – So. Much. Work.

Hello my lovelies! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful day.

Honestly, today hasn’t been my best. This morning my alarm decided to not go off, so I woke up an hour late… not the best start. Then I was given so many new projects and work to bring home that I literally just somewhat finished… I basically doubled my workday by working for so long tonight 🙃 and it was all due tomorrow; at least I got it done. Most of it at least…

Seeing that I’m just now finishing up all my work, I definitely haven’t had time to workout today. I even had to skip out on my typical Wednesday evening plans with my friend because of everything I had to get done tonight, which was quite disappointing. Oh well… there’s always next week!

I’m really hoping that tomorrow will not be as stressful as today was. I also set about 5 alarms on my phone for tomorrow morning, just in case… I’m paranoid now 😂 anyways, I’ll talk to y’all tomorrow. Even when you’re stressed out to the max, today’s still a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #77 – I ❤️ Abs

Hello! I hope you’ve all had a positively amazing day today!

Another gorgeous day outside, even with the clouds. I absolutely love the weather the past couple days! I know tomorrow is going to be quite rainy and humid, so I enjoyed this day’s weather while I had it. Today was also a very good day for me, work-wise. I didn’t have to stress over completing anything tonight, which is fantastic!

I was able to workout this evening for about 30-45 minutes. I did abs and the rowing machine… it felt great to exercise those muscles, as I hadn’t in over a week because of my illness. I always love abs, as I feel overall much stronger after I’ve worked on my core.

I hope tomorrow is awesome for you and I’ll talk to you then. Today’s a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #76 – It’s a beautiful day

Hello my lovelies and happy Monday! I hope you’ve all had a beautiful day.

The warm weather where I am has continued today. It got into the low 80s, which was like a breathe of fresh air after all the freezing temperatures. The sun was out, there was a slight breeze, and the birds were chirping… It was absolutely stunning! I’m so thankful for all the nature I get to take in daily.

I didn’t exercise today, as I had a horrible headache this afternoon. I almost couldn’t function properly, but I fought through it and made this evening great. Sometimes you have to take charge of your own feelings and try your hardest to be happy, even when life keeps throwing you curveballs 🙂

Overall I’ve had a very happy day, which I’m hoping will also occur tomorrow. I hope you’ve all had a great day also, and I’ll talk to y’all tomorrow! Today’s an especially magnificent day to be happy!

Day #75 – Exercise Again

Aloha! Tomorrow’s Monday, the start to a new week… let’s make it an awesome one!

Today was a fantastic day. I started out the day with playing with my pets for almost two hours, which was so fun. I love bonding with animals. After that, I went out to brunch with my family and came back home to do some cooking for the Super Bowl. I had a bit of a mishap… I may have accidentally melted a plastic bowl in the microwave. Whoopsies. But my goodness, you’ve never smelled something so malodorous!

I was finally able to workout again, which I was very excited about. I completed a 30 minute arm workout during the beginning of the Super Bowl; I could definitely tell it was harder than normal, as I haven’t worked out in almost a week… but I’m thrilled to regain my lost strength and get back into my normal exercise schedule!

I hope you’ve all had a fantastic weekend. I’m not extremely excited about having typical weekday stresses again, though I’m ready to make this a fabulous week. Today’s a magnificent day to be happy! Have a great day tomorrow!

Day #74 – Warm Wintertime

Hello my lovelies! I hope you’ve al had an amazing Saturday.

Today’s been an odd change to the weather; it’s been very warm compared to the last several weeks, and the next few days are also supposed to be fairly temperate! It’s unexpected but pleasant… although throughout the entire day it’s looked like it’s going to storm.

Today I’ve felt 100%, which I am so glad about. I was planning on working out this evening, but I had some unexpected plans come up and I didn’t have the time sadly. I know I keep saying it, but tomorrow I will!!

I hope the end of the weekend (how’s it already almost Sunday) goes fantastically for you. I’ll talk to you tomorrow! Today’s a magnificent day to be happy!
