Workout

Got a 30-minute spin workout done this evening. I was having pain in my forearms and feet around my ankles. I get cramps like this sometimes and it’s usually electrolytes issues or my thyroid level is low. But, I’m tired of not working out so I pushed myself and had a good workout despite. I probably need to drink my electrolytes tonight, but I feel too sleepy to chug them. Took night meds and vitamins so hopefully those will help until morning.

Resident Evil

Went to see Resident Evil at the cinema with my youngest daughter since my oldest daughter told me we should see it. It was pretty good. I won’t spoil it here. I ate like 700 calories of M&Ms and will need to eat sensibly tomorrow. I wish cinemas had healthier options sometimes. Avoided the alcohol. Had some intrusive thoughts but kept redirecting myself to the movie. Over and over again.

Family Time

Earlier in the day, my youngest daughter and I met up with my oldest daughter and her partner. We went to my oldest daughter’s work; she works at a pet store veterinarian’s office. Picked up a food prescription card for Gumbo. His veterinarian thinks maybe he should be on a prescription food since he gets sick and it seems to be worsening. Labs don’t show any real issues but he’s 12 so maybe his digestive system needs food that is easier to digest.

Then, we all went to eat at Dairy Queen. After that, we visited my dad in memory care and brought him a meal. I plan to visit him Wednesday morning and take him out for breakfast. I just felt really tired and I didn’t want to squish him into a packed RAV and take him somewhere today. He was in good spirits, and I was happy about that.

Concluding Thoughts

Today has been a good day. I need to get in bed because I want to wake up early in the morning. I am planning to do some reading, studying for my fitness course, and I want to take a 3 mile walk with my 15-lb vest tomorrow; afterwards, I’ll walk to mass if possible. I hope I wake up on time despite going to bed late.

Wrote my gratitude entry for today, and now I think I will turn in.
