The beginning of April was pretty blah, but luckily it got better towards the end of the month.
April is my birthday month and due to Army stuff, Josh missed it by one day. But, we were able to go out to dinner and celebrate the day after he got home, which made it better. I'm not a big birthday person, but having him home would have been a great present.
Lets talk about that Army stuff. Josh went to California for training. He flew out with the helicopters and they left a few days before everyone else. It took a whopping 3 weeks for them to make it out there. Josh was paying for a lot of his own food through this trip, so it got expensive! I was seeing red by the time week 3 rolled around. The good thing is that he ended up in Arizona at one point and was able to have dinner with our friends who live outside of Phoenix. Also, just to give y'all a glimpse of Army logic - one of the helicopters made it there the day before training was over. It was broken down in Oklahoma for a few weeks and instead of turning it around and going home, they had them fly to CA just to turn around and go home. Luckily it only took 5 days for Josh to get back, with only one breakdown that was an easy fix.
I started going back to the gym and it has been great. I tried just going and lifting weights but I just wasn't motivated. So, I decided to try going back to the group classes offered at the gym on post. This was absolutely the right decision! I've been doing mostly Zumba and Body Blast with the occasional Yoga class thrown in there. They've been so much fun and a great way for me to get back into working out without overdoing it.
I've also started drinking a new shake for breakfast every day and dinner a few nights per week. I've been seeing a whole lot of talk about shake programs like Herbalife and Isagenix but none of them had vegan friendly options, so I found my own shake for $25 at Wal Mart. It's 100% plant based and delicious! I have so much more natural energy and I'm totally on board with the shake "trend".
We also had a few warmer days at the end of the month which gives me hope that winter might not last forever!
April was pretty uneventful, but the weather is warming up here and we have a trip to MD planned this month which I am super excited for! Hopefully I'll actually have something exciting to share in my May update.
