Getting Better Takes Time

Well, it's Tuesday so I'm in a better mood. Mondays are rather unpleasant for me, usually. And I went to the gym yesterday after work... that nearly always picks me up and yesterday was no exception. Thank goodness for it because I needed to be in a good mood last night.

I went out to eat with one of my friends... I've known this girl for probably about 16 or so years. It's really just strange that we've kept in touch but she's good people. And our server was the cousin of a past relationship. We caught up (the server and I), it was actually really nice. I was happy to hear that her life was getting back on track. Poor girl simply has been through too much and needed it. Deserves it. Last year she came home from work and found her mother lying dead on the floor. Goodness... some of us were concerned she'd never fully rebound from that one. The relationship with her mother was not perfect but it was very, very close. However, it appears that she did not only rebound but she seems to be in a much healthier place, mentally speaking. I was really, very happy to hear this. Things in their family are still rough and she commented about "when will it get better?"... the truth is she is working on something for herself, really working at it and slowly but surely this is the path to it "getting better".

As for insights into my own life... not too many. Need to keep working out... have to keep on track with it. Have to become more dedicated to it. I want to work out every day except Friday. I want Friday to be my day off. So, tonight I will attempt to do one of my ab workouts and then maybe I'll head to the gym to try the sauna for the first time ever. That makes me a little nervous but it also makes me curious if I will feel thinner afterwards. I have either gained a bunch of weight within a couple days or I am bloated. I hope I'm bloated, that will go away on it's own rather quickly.
