Mon 29th May

I've had the loveliest couple of days off. Yesterday we went to visit an old priory and went for a walk along the river. Came home and binged Beef all night.

Today I had a lie in until 9am (!!!!) and had breakfast out in the sun

Went to visit my old manager for a catch up, wore a skirt I haven't worn in probs 2 years and felt cute!

Took myself for a walk around the dene where we used to live to get my steps in (finished on 17k for the day), and called both of my Nannas while I walked to catch up with them. Got some groceries on the way home and it was sooo hot this afternoon so Maggie and I just lay out in the garden sunbathing. She took her bone out and I kept bringing her ice cubes and she was so good and chilled. I started reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo which my sis in law got me for Christmas. Matt got up for night shift and we had dinner together, then I cleaned my car. Lovely hot bath and now bed time. Back to work tomorrow 🥲

This is me laying on the locker room floor with a headache before doing my rest day workout. Got in my Jeep to go there and cranked it... hmmm why is the engine so loud... look back. Someone had unzipped my back window. Jokes on them, I don’t leave ANYTHING in there because it’s happened before and the glove box is already hanging open because I haven’t fixed it from the previous time they pried it open. Fucking degenerates, leave my shit alone. Stupid city. I hate New England. Anyway, I did 100 total pushups, 200 sit-ups, 10 pull ups, and 500 jump rope. A snippet below.

Sustainable Weight Loss: How I Lost 20+ lbs. & Kept My Sanity
