Finding Gaby

Had a pretty good day today. Work was pretty much chill, nothing too crazy. My walk to and from work was pleasant, and I did another session with the Fitbit Coach. I haven't seen any difference in myself, but it has only been 3 days, and I did tell myself that I would give myself a week before I started freaking out on whether or not this was working. I did make the mistake of buying some snacks from the vending machine, and that does need to not happen again. But I am very tired and think I'll probably go to sleep after dinner tonight. The TCM online class started today. And like most classes, the first day was mostly going over the syllabus. I do have the assignment to watch (or at least try to) 4 different musicals. Those movies are "Broadway Melody", "The Wizard of Oz", "Born to Dance", and "Top Hat". I have seen two of those and I am excited to watch the other two, and honestly, if I have to watch "The Wizard of Oz...

Oh lordy am I tired. Walked to work (yay). Had a productive yet kinda busy day at work (yay). Walked home from work (yay). And then did another session with the Fitbit Coach (yay). So I am thoroughly wiped out. And that little list is basically my plan to get fit. I'm gonna start walking to and from work and make sure I hit up that fitbit coach. It's gonna hurt, I'm gonna be dead tired, but I need to make sure I am successful with its completion. I no longer fit it to the majority of my clothes, and like I said before, I'm too poor to buy new (bigger) clothes, so weight loss is the only answer, plus my health will thank me. I'm gonna wait a full week before I start posting whether or not this is working, and a month from now we'll know for sure. Just gotta make sure I do not make the mistake of overeating. Ok onto the writing prompts. I am still following the prompts provided by Life of Lovely , which I just noticed has not updated in forever, but wh...

GOOD LORD WHERE HAVE I BEEN!?!?!?! So much for writing on a daily basis and keeping up with it, no? And I almost made it through February. Well to make a long story short, life got stressful, things got complicated and scary, and I just needed to take a step back from this to recenter and figure some things out. While I did recenter myself, nothing it figured out. But I figured I would start again because hey, you just can't quit, and it's June 1st and 6 is my lucky number so why not restart in June. Plus its midway through the year, and at least this gives me a chance to end the year on a positive note. "So what's going to happen now that you're back to this?" you may be asking yourself... well that is a very valid question, and here's what I'm gonna do/am doing. In terms of writing, I'm still going to be doing a prompt a day, but since I missed March-May in prompts, I will be tacking those on just to get them done. I am also going to t...

3 miles. I did 3 miles today in about 54 minutes. Not the most stellar time, but I did it and that's all that really matters. Day 25: What are your priorities in life? To survive? At least that is my main priority right now. Or maybe to not blow out my knees, which is what is killing me at the moment. 3 miles on pavement with little training will do that to you. And with that, I'm gonna end this post because I'm zonked, I'll write more tomorrow.

I got called into work. My boss called me, woke me up, and asked if I could come in and work a few hours because someone called out. You know I jumped at that and said yes. More hours means more money, and I'm all about the benjamins. Don't let the melody intrigue you, 'cause I leave you I'm only here for that green paper with the eagle Ok, that is about 75% true, I sadly care about that store more than I should. I'm loyal to a fault, and that's always been a problem. Oh well. So other than that, my plans were kinda shuffled around and now I'm exhausted. But my paycheck will be big and I'm content with that. I gots bills to pay. Day 24: A time where someone helped you. I hate asking for help. I detest it. If I could never ask for help from anyone, I could die a happy person. Remember when I said that I am a reliable person? I have yet to find someone other than my mother to be as reliable as me. So why put my faith in someone else for...

Day 23: An accomplishment you are proud of. There are a number of things I am proud of. My Associate's Degree My High School Degree The fact that I was accepted to 3 music schools for college The number of movies I've seen The number of books I've read. The life lessons I've learned. My potsticker sauce. I could go on. But, can I show you what I'm proudest of? The orphanage. I established the first private orphanage in New York City. Oh wait, that was Eliza Hamilton. Ok, add-on knowing every line from Hamilton: An American Musical. Go, me! Ok, with that out of the way, I had a good day today. Ran three miles with my good friend Jack. Went on a crazy urban hiking adventure with my dad, and then went to a friend's "turkbirthday" (He likes Thanksgiving, so he has a second one for his birthday). Overall it was a good day, and for that I am happy. So far despite me not liking February all that much, the end of...
