fuzzyred | Weekly Update

I missed last week, in part because I've been feeling drained and in part because a family issue cropped up. The past two weeks haven't been too bad, other than my dad falling and needing to go to the hospital. Thankfully, he is alright; the doctors say it's a fractured knee and they are going to see if it heals without needing surgery. In the meantime, he has now been discharged from the hospital and they set him up with outside help for things like groceries and meals, since he lives alone.

I did have a good couple weekends, with a trip to Point Pelee, a gathering with friends, and a wine tour with coworkers being among the highlights. It was a lot of good company and a lot of fun. I also got a few lunches with my good friend in there, which is always very nice. :)

I haven't done fantastically with cardio the last while, but I have been getting at least something done almost every day, even if it doesn't include going to the gym. I'm still working on tweaking my food and exercise habits to get the best results. While I would like to lose a bit of weight, mostly I'd like to be eating healthy and in good shape (i.e. decently strong and reasonable stamina for stairs and walking). I think what I'm going to try next involves short bits of cardio, more walks outside, and a bit of strength training. If I can make things more fun, I know I'll have an easier time sticking with it.

I managed to rake some leaves off the driveway the other day (with some help =)) but sadly it looks like an equivalent amount has fallen onto the driveway again already. Yay for fall XD >.< I'm not totally happy with where the yard work is at right now, but I'm working on finishing up all the essentials before winter sets in. I also need to work on my crochet projects, but I thankfully have a decent amount of time before the deadline for those, so I should be okay.

Coming up, I mainly want to work on maintaining the progress I've made in most areas, and shore up the ones that need it. I also have a few things planned this weekend with my boyfriend and my family, so it should be a good time. :)

I hope everyone is doing well, that life is going okay, and the weather is being terrible to anyone. Stay safe and happy everybody!
