My new exercise routine “no quitting November “

With the stress of the holidays coming I’ve joined the “no quit November Ifit challenge.

I’m hoping to keep to my exercise routine.

Biking 5 days a week.

Strength training 5 days a week.

Eating healthy foods.

I can’t let the holidays ruin my 8 months of fitness.

Instagram has made me realize how glad I am not to own a horse.

 

When I was young I was horse crazy.  Every thought was horses.

I haven’t done much with horses in years, but I see a lot of horse videos on instagram.  Watching them makes me very happy that I don’t have a horse.

Horses are a lot of work, they are expensive and can be dangerous. 

I like seeing people that are happy with their horses.

But I’m glad to just have a cat. 

Do you have a pet?

It’s November first and I may just start decorating for Christmas.

It’s November first and I feel like I might just start decorating for Christmas.  All the stores have Christmas items out.

If I start decorating for Christmas now, when December rolls around I will be able to just enjoy the Christmas season.

I’m going to have another Nutcracker Christmas.

I’ll explain that later.

What do you think? Is it too early for Christmas decorations?

My Halloween costume 2025.

Where I work they encourage you to dress up for Halloween.

It’s really fun to see everyone dressed up.

I was counselor Kimberly from Star Trek.

I have lots of gold sparkles on my face. I’m not sure how long they will stay on my face.  I used a photo editing program to get the fun background.

Did you dress up for Halloween?

Life of a shopgirl, what a year of sticky notes looks like.

A few years ago I collected sticky notes that were written at work and made a Halloween costume with them.

This is probably the most work I ever put into a costume. 

This is what a year of sticky notes looks like.

I think the total number of sticky notes is 480. 

Cartoon me.  

I’m in the process of cleaning out the clutter in my house.

My sticky note costume is going in the trash. 

So I have photographed the costume so I can look back and remember it but not have it sitting in a plastic container taking up space. 

Some of the notes I wrote and others were written by coworkers. 

Some are favorite quotes,

Others are work notes.

It’s been fun to look at them.

It was a very fun project.

Customers loved it.

Do you ever think about the things you use when you work? 

It was like a little time capsule of the year. 

Sometimes I think I should be a pile of paper clips,

Or take all the extra ribbons from the balloons we make and be a pile of ribbons.

The other idea I have is dressing up like a fish 🐟 because I call the area I work in the fish bowl.  

Are you excited about Halloween? 

Even in my 50’s. I am.
