time goes by

And I forget to post. I am starting to get into a bit of a schedule with the gym, I'm trying to go every Tuesday and Thursday night. That way I can make plans around it, and if it works out to go to the gym on the weekend too, then I have a day of rest in between either way. Going twice a week is also helping me to catch up on all the times I was bad before and did not go to the gym. Slowly catching up, but at least I'm no longer getting further behind.

I am also getting better at tracking my gym going and push ups, I've started writing them on my calendar with a tally number. Now, at a glance, I know how many times I've gone to the gym since starting (it's a pitiful number still) and where in the push up program I am. It is also helping me keep on top of doing the push ups, since I can see when it's been a few days without doing them. I'm getting into the harder weeks, so it's hard to keep at it. I have a feeling that I will need to repeat a few weeks before it is completed. My arms are getting definition though, which is nice for summer.

Two weekends ago I did manage to make it to the Toronto zoo and the Pride Parade (and Medieval Times!) so I get to move two more goals from the incomplete list, to the completed list. Go me! It was a very busy weekend. Lots of standing and walking, and lots of sunscreen. No burns this time, an improvement over previous weekends. I still have a visible streak on my arm where I managed to not apply or reapply sunscreen one very sunny day. It is not fading fast enough for my liking!

My intentions of reading classics/banned books for a while is working, I am starting to get through those goals. Right now I am working my way through Moby Dick. I had no idea it was so long though, and had requested Sherlock Holmes at the same time. Also very long. I am now in a mad rush to finish Moby Dick and return it, so that I can then read Sherlock Holmes and return it in time too. No late fees please! Except now that I am reading like a fiend, I keep dreaming about whales. I don't really remember the dreams. But when I wake up whales are on my mind and I have half-memories of dreaming. Hopefully this will not last long!
