Fitbit finesse

Ok, I must say I am a believer. After recovering from my being so sick I am now ready to get back into action! First day running 3 miles again and I am ecstatic. I may have had to take a few walkif breaks *cough more than a few cough* but it was worth it. 

I received this little gem courtesy of my mom (who I fear may be the only reader occasionally) but it is a cherished birthday gift. You can program it to reach a certain step goal. Mine is 10,000 steps which I just achieved today after having to lay down for a few weeks! I feel as though this is a solid victory. It also calculates my sleep quality (mine is poor, welcome to grad life), your calories burned, incoming phone calls, and a few other novelties! 

My puppy also loves it as well, because it means I am enjoying tracking my walks with her. So much so that I have worn her out. It's a beautiful sight. For those of you who are struggling, challenge yourself to take it one step further at a time! I know that's my plan. After all the walking, my poor pup couldn't handle it anymore.

Earth Day Storm

As I sit here on this Earth Day I am reminded of how powerful Mother Nature is and how she can show her claws when she wants. It is true that we have been facing a lot of storms here in the Coastal Bend lately but this one seems to make a point today. It is Mother Nature flexing her muscle to remind us that she is in charge.

At times like this I want to curl up in a blanket with a good book and my dog. It is not to be until after May though. I am chugging along and typing my thesis.

My thesis feels like a living and breathing entity lately that I am grappling with on a daily basis. I type for hours at it only to come back and undo all the words that were there before. Oh well. Back to typing here I go!

Stay safe and stay dry!
