Rollercoasters

I love rollercoasters. But, I am also picky about them. I like them to be fast, have drops, and be thrilling. I’m not too fond of rollercoasters that go upside down. That takes away a lot of rollercoaster options for me.

Universal Studios

After taking some time to settle into our rental in Florida, we headed to Universal Studios! We bought Annual Passes so that we can go whenever we want.

Journey to Florida

After being up bright (it was still dark out) and early, thanks to Charlie and Milo, I fell asleep in the car shortly after we got back on the highway to Florida. At one point, I woke up and we were stopped at a rest area in Georgia.

Murfreesboro

The first leg of our journey to Florida brought us to Murfreesboro, TN. I had booked a VRBO rental that graciously allowed us to bring our cats. It was a cute little studio apartment attached to the hosts’ home.

Minnesota (Part 4)

Paisley Park

Well, it’s been 2 weeks as of today since we were actually there, but on our final full day in Minnesota, we went to Paisley Park, which is Prince’s home and recording studio turned museum.

Lonesome Dove

This past summer, I was given a copy of Lonesome Dove from my sister. It’s my parents’ book. They had read it many years ago and lent it out to friends. Those friends lent it out to their friends. It’s actually a bit of a miracle that it made it back to them.

Ring Fit

A friend of mine from Zumba got the Nintendo Switch Zumba: Burn it Up game from her wife for Christmas. I miss Zumba, so I looked into getting it myself. While searching for it, I came across the Ring Fit Adventure game.

NOOM

I started using the NOOM App yesterday. I haven’t been eating very well since I did the Game On! Diet Challenge and I needed something to kick my butt back into gear.

I had tried NOOM a few years ago and I wasn’t good at tracking my meals, so it wasn’t useful to me at the time.

The Girl He Used to Know-Book Review

Yesterday, I put off work in order to finish a novel I started the night before. I usually wait until the evening, after I’ve gotten some work things done before I sit down to read, but I was itching to get back to the story.

The book was The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves.

Obviously, I enjoyed the story.

Here is a book description from Goodreads

Game On! Diet Competition Update

Game On! Diet competition update:

The first week was easier than I thought it would be. To be honest, I was excited to be able to eat right after I woke up. I was intermittent fasting before I started the competition, so I was used to waiting until 1 pm to be able to eat after having quit eating by 9 pm the day before.

Talkspace

At the beginning of this COVID quarantine, I was nervous about the virus, just like everyone else. But, I won’t lie, I also kind of enjoyed staying home. Especially since almost everyone else was staying home as well.

I did have a feeling that things wouldn’t get back to “normal” easily. I knew that once things started to shift back to normalcy, I would likely have some anxiety issues. Due to change, if nothing else.

You know, back when we were “all in this together”...

Kate’s Simply Skinny Sausage Supper- The Game On! Diet

Sharing another favorite recipe from the Game On! Diet Book! I am finding that I have liked every recipe I’ve tried from this book. I also love that they are all pretty easy to cook. That’s the only type of cooking I like to do!

Krista’s Quick and Easy Breakfast - The Game On! Diet

I started The Game On! diet along with some friends a couple of days ago. I have tried a few of the recipes included in the book, The Game On! Diet: Kicking Your Friend’s Butt While Shrinking Your Own.

So far, my favorite recipe is Krista’s Quick and Easy Breakfast. Not only is it actually quick and easy, it is also really yummy. And it includes bread! Major bonus for me.

Game On! Diet Competition

I started a new diet on Tuesday. It is based on the book, The Game On! Diet: Kick Your Friend's Butt While Shrinking Your Own.

A friend of mine from Zumba did this diet recently to get rid of the “COVID 17” she put on during the COVID-19 quarantine.

A group of 8 of us split into teams of 4. For the next 4 weeks, we have to abide by the meal plan, water intake, and exercise plan. We also have to get rid of one bad habit and pick up a new good habit.

This is a points-based game. You get points for eating each meal (correctly), drinking 3 liters of water/day, exercising for 20 minutes, and so on.

I plan my life out a day at a time, so my posting schedule can be erratic.
