Back at it again

-
Gym rat - After a one year and four month hiatus, I returned to the gym today.  It felt good being back again.  The sweat rolling down my face as I get my heart rate going and the calories being burned was a refreshing feeling.  It sounds weird, but working out after the year I took off gave me a sense of accomplishment. i really felt good and I'm glad just to get my blood flowing again.  Hopefully this will lead to some results. I'd like to drop back down to being a size 6.  This isn't an impossible goal but it'll require dedication and hard work.

On Wednesday, there's a CrossFit Demo at the gym. I think I'll go to it just to see what it's all about. It should be interesting and if I like it, I may take a class.

Bookend kind of week - This week isn't the best weather wise.  We had sun on Monday, but Tuesday through Thursday is all rain, followed by a sunny day on Friday.  Can someone rent me their ark for a few days? Then again, April showers does bring May flowers, or so the saying goes. Saturday is the day to look forward to.  We've made plans for dinner at IHOP.  I'm looking forward to that.  Should I have pancakes or crepes? Waffles or a burger?

Short entry tonight.  I shall report on the CrossFit demo and if it's worth it.

"BIG THREE!" - This Is Us, 9/27/16

Deep breath. "First came, me and Dad said, 'Gee.' And then came me, and Mom said, 'Whee!' And then came me, and Dad said, "That's three." "Big Three.  BIG THREE!" Good news, "This Is Us" has been picked up for a full season (an additional 5 episodes, making the season a total of 18 episodes.) The news broke hours prior to the airing of the show's second installment and of course, the episode did not fail to disappoint. It was filled with that goodness of Campbell's soup on cold, wintry day and topped off with a cherry of a twist from an ice cream sundae. The emotions are still there and this was an episode where we got to look into the different windows of the character's lives. As mentioned elsewhere, the second episode picked up later in time. Jack and Rebecca's triplets are around 8 years old, maybe 9 and we open with a scene in the kitchen. Rebecca is busy being the super-mom she is making lunch...

Oh, the sleep deprivation

-
Well, I am back and a lot sure has happened in the past month. We are now a family of four, having welcomed my baby boy, Logan Daniel on August 21st.  That was a memorable day, considering he was scheduled to be delivered on August 23rd (also Charlotte's birthday) but he had other plans.  Or better yet, he decided he did not want to share a birthday with his older sister.  I say good for him.  When I had his c-section date scheduled, I wasn't too keen on August 23rd, but my doctor said the 22nd wasn't available.  He ended up making his own plans on his debut because really, babies run the show, not the adults. Ha! And they really do.  I haven't slept more than 3 hours a night since he came home last month.  Such is the norm with a newborn baby in the house. I am hoping he turns a corner soon and starts sleeping longer stretches at night. At most, all I want it five blissful hours of sleep.  1AM to 6AM sounds ideal. Here's hoping that comes soon,...

Presidential Debate 9/26/16 -- My thoughts

-

Last night was the first Presidential Debate between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump.  Who won? The Democrat in me says Hillary Clinton and yes, I will be voting for her on Election Day.  But to be honest, the debate had no clear winner. Depending on which side of the political spectrum you lean toward, you will say your candidate won.  What I do know and feel is that Donald Trump is not qualified to be leader of our country. Yes, that is the Democrat in me speaking, but if you look at what transpired over the 90 minutes, can you honestly say you want Trump as President, regardless if you are Democrat or Republican? I wasn't able to pay close attention to what was going on because the activity on Twitter was as exciting, along with a 3year old distracting me and a 1 month old asking for his next bottle (thankfully Daddy took care of that), but I was to get that Trump liked to interrupt Clinton whenever she spoke and sniffled a l...
