last friday, boyfriend and i both had the day off (yay!) to spend together. he was going to go sign up at a gym that's a little closer to his work, but farther away from our house. i headed off to order a bridesmaid dress, passing boyfriend on his way to the gym while i was on my way home to change. i did just that, then headed to get in a workout. except that while driving there, i got a phone call from boyfriend who said the girl wouldn't accept his debit card as a way to process a payment (just for the record, we used to go to that other gym and they had NO problem taking my money out of my debit card....) but anyway. so i get to the gym and he calls and says all that and i suggest going to find out the difference in price to add him to my gym membership. becuase of my AAA discount, my monthly cost would only increase by $15 with is only $5 more than what boyfriend would have had to pay at that "other gym". plus, the facility is better (i think at least). so he gives in and i leave the gym (no workout) and go back home to pick him up. great. we go back, workout together(ish) and head home. by this point it was already like, 230 and we were pretty hungry so we grabbed some lunch, went home to shower and change and ran some other errands we had planned for friday.... on saturday, we had to work different schedules so i went to the gym after work and he went before. then on sunday, he had to be at work early so we decided to go around 8... on a sunday. at 8am. YIKES. i dislike mornings. anyone who knows me knows i hate them. i don't even like to talk in the morning. seriously. it's my silent time. but since i don't usually work till noon, it hasn't really bothered me... okay i'm so off topic...
so we go to the gym at 8am on sunday and obviously by 8pm i was ready for bed. boyfriend wanted to get up and go to the gym monday morning at 7.... yeah. that's what i said... 7... and i know that isn't early for any of my school teacher friends and anyone with a 9-5ish type job, but when you are a] not a morning person and b] don't work till the afternoon, 7am seems wrong... but we got up. and went to the gym. at 7am... turns out, as much as i hate dragging myself out of bed and putting my feet on the cold floor, i actually like having the gym be done and over with early in the day. with this new routine has come even more of a new routine... when we get home, i make lunches [yes, boyfriend can and often does make his own but with this new routine, it's working for us], i wash any dishes that are in the sink, make a cup of coffee in my new keurig, feed the dog, make breakfast and prep anything for dinner that needs preping... then i get to sit down and watch a little tv [rocked some full house this morning] and after breakfast, shower. yesterday i had time to go tanning... today i had time to get my nails done AND go play with new black puppy!
the newest addition to our family!
Buckly [Buck].
11 weeks old.
yup... new black puppy is awesome. while he won't take the place of our lab, Iggy, he is a great new addition to our family and i'm SO excited that we [well, my parents really] are going to give him a good home... he was a rescue out of tennessee and so worth it.
without a new routine, i never would have had time to go play with him this morning. or, i would have, but i would have skipped the gym or getting my nails done or not made lunch or breakfast or any of that. somehow, making no resolution has helped me start to make some great changes... hopefully, we can keep it going.
