NaNoPoblano – Day 17 (November 17): Going again tomorrow morning!

Go NaNoPloblano (National Blog Posting Month) (https://cheerpeppers.wordpress.com/) !  And day 17 of 30 Days of Thankfulness (https://mcclendonvilla.wordpress.com/2016/10/29/30-days-of-thankfulness/).

Remember how I said I was going to kickboxing the other morning?  Well I did, and it was great – hard, but great! Gotta be thankful for that, right?

This is what it looked like when I went (not raining, yay!!)

There is the kickboxing studio straight ahead – to the left of a pizza place (closed at 6:45 am) which is to the left of a Starbucks (definitely open at 6:45 am!).

Kitten Thursday: Kittens in the Dark Edition

A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/percolate/

What can I say?  It’s November, and it’s dark.  At least this morning I don’t need to step outside until I go to work.  Although, let me say that I DID go to kickboxing yesterday morning, and it was GREAT!  Hard, but great.  AND my workout for the day was done by 8:00 am.  Boo-yah!  Doin’ it again tomorrow morning 🙂

And now, enjoy kittens in the dark…

So, before I head out to my first 7:00 am kickboxing class (yes, I am going!!) I am having a quick piece of toast and some coffee!

I know – looks the same as my coffee from yesterday after work.

But after work I also saw this:

This is an odd post this morning.  Odder than usual…  Must be the restless sleep I had in combination with trying to get a little blogging done before I head out to sweat my butt off!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Roofs

For this week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge:  Vibrant Colours.  (https://ceenphotography.com/2016/11/15/cees-fun-foto-challenge-roofs/)

“This week the topic is Roofs.  Most building have some sort of roof to it.  I want to see roofs from any angle.  If you can get a photo from above the could be awesome.  Parts of roofs from the ground is great too.  Roofs from dilapidated buildings can have a lot of wholes and are full of character.  Any roof as long as it is your main subject of your photo. ”

Frosted roofs!

NaNoPoblano – Day 15 (November 15): Figuring it all out

Go NaNoPloblano (National Blog Posting Month) (https://cheerpeppers.wordpress.com/) !  And day 15 of 30 Days of Thankfulness (https://mcclendonvilla.wordpress.com/2016/10/29/30-days-of-thankfulness/).

No, not what’s happening in the world – I will never get that.  But I am going to try a new workout schedule.  There is a kickboxing place near our house, but the after-work classes are typically around 8:00 pm, and I just can’t get motivated to go out that late, especially at this time of year.

Thankfully (see me get to the thankful part!!) they have classes at 7:00 am as well, which means I could still get to work in good time and then my workout would be done!  I know I said to Debbie from Forgiving Connects the other day that getting up early for running would be too hard for me, but I think I can do the kickboxing.  I have to walk there in the dark, but it will be light, warm, and dry (except for the sweat flying) in the gym.

So, tomorrow morning?  Kickboxing at 7:00.  Wish me luck!!

But for now, coffee and then supper!  Oh, and of course, relaxing with kitties…
