A new week

The weekend was busy and exhausting. But fun and productive as well (Shopping, a birthday party, etc).My younger brother will get married at the end of April, and my hubby and I finally seem to have pretty much all we'll need for the occasion. I could use a new nailpolish, and my mr needs a new belt, but that's pretty much it, thankfully.So now is a new week. And I really needed a fresh start. Last week I've been struggling with my calory deficit. And I was unable to do my workout in the weekend, due to sore muscles from my last workout on Thursday. Might have overdone it just a bit (whoops).So this week it's back to healthy meals and in between snacks, really want to try and stay between the 250 - 500 calory deficit.This morning I've been cleaning the kitchen, changing the bed sheets, doing laundry. Boring, but necessary house chores.And after writing this blog, I'll have to study until lunch. Maybe study a bit after, and then it's time for my workout. Focussing mainly on abs and arms this week, as I did legs last week. I will go for some walks later this week to engage the legs as well, and I won't completely skip them in my workout. There is always time for some squats & lunges ;-)And I like to end with a full body stretch routine, that takes up about 25 minutes as well. Giving all the muscles a good stretch. I have high hopes that one day I won't need physio therapy anymore (although that might be wishful thinking..).After a well deserved shower, I hope there will be some time for some R&R, to read my library books. Before eventually starting on dinner, and the day will be over already (and I have only completed half of my to-do list).Tomorrow I have to work, and I hope to do some more chores. And then it's wednesday already. That's still so far away though, we'll see what that will bring.I do want to think up some exercise goals. General goals like going down 1 pants-size, toning & bulking up, is just a bit too vague. Wish I could put a time goal on it. Or a goal like : by that time I want to be able to do *fill in the blank*.I think 1 goal I do want to set myself is, that some time in April, I want to go to a local gym and check it out. Ask about their prices, check the place out. They also have cardio kickboxing lessons, and I'd like to know about those too. Things like intensity, me being a heartpatient, etc. But that's for next month. Today is still March, and I need to start cracking on my study.I know most of my coworkers needed to redo their exams at least once. And I just don't want that. I want to pass the first time. And with a high grade too. So, I really should put (even) more effort into it.

New start

There is never enough time in a whole week, let alone a single day.I really miss having my own little space to vent. I used to be an avid Instagrammer. But after 11 years, and instagram not being what it used to be anymore, I decided to delete my accounts a year ago.It was hard at first, but then it got better. But lately I find myself really missing a place to just vent and ramble into nothingness. So I want to retry blogging, again. But like I said, there is never enough time. I have plenty of stuff to keep me busy in life. There is work, a study I am doing for work / beside my work, there is married life, house chores, trying to get into shape with exercise, and way too many hobbies.But I really want to try and make time for blogging.Maybe just a short one every day. Or a longer post weekly. I don't know yet. Time will tell.For now I want to complain just a little about how sore I am from my big workout yesterday. But hopefully it'll be worth it!I don't necessarily want to lose weight, but I want to lose fat, and I want to gain muscles. As I'm not overweight, this should be "easy enough". Still have to put the time and effort in, and take my heartfailure & tachycardia into account.But that's a whole new story for another day.Time to start my day : shower, study, groceries, study some more, weekend!
