what's up?

Early to work

Maybe it was out of anticipation of real action at work, or the need to avoid the rush hour to bring Samantha the eternity plant safely to work, or sheer luck, or all of the above, that I woke up at a record 530am today.  Having not done my morning routine this early in a long time, I was a bit sluggish but still managed to get to work an hour early! :)

One of the few things I remember learning from my sophomore high school religion teacher (aside from the song with all the New Testament books in it which I still know) is that you know you can make a habit out of something if you can do it three times in a row.  Well, one down, two more early-to-work days to go!

Lost my phone

I lost my 2-month old phone at home during my sister's birthday party.  The party was strictly outside the house in the yard, but it was still careless of me to leave my phone unattended on the dining table inside the house where anyone could pick it up on the way to the restroom.  After spending a whole morning searching for my phone, I finally gave up and just applied for a plan, with a free phone.  It's a downgrade compared to my previous one, but I've spent way too much on phones this year.  At least I get to keep this number whatever happens to this new phone in the future.

Free weights

I've recently had my workout plan changed to an advanced one, which requires me to use free weights (barbells, dumbbells) instead of the comfy machines.  I found it hard to adjust, even when using lighter weights compared to what I could lift using the machines.  And now I have to stick to three workouts a week, and eat well and rest well at the same time!  I hope I can do this. Good luck to me!
