waffle wednesday

We are halfway through the week, only two more days until the weekend!

Today was fairly eventful as far as quarantine days go. So I woke up around 8:15 this morning, got ready, made a small breakfast and then I had a French review. French is my first exam tomorrow. After that was done I woke Soren up and we went to his mom's house. I tried to run, I only made it a mile, I've decided I'm going to run once I'm done my antibiotics and I'm actually healed. After I was done my attempted run, I made waffles! We hung out for a little and then we came back to his grandparents' (where we stay). I'm going to include a picture of the waffle because it looks good.

Once we got back I did a workout video. Another dance which I tried to show Soren but man I think he's worried about my sanity. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWk19OVon2k - this one is a little easier cardio wise and then it hits you with the actual exercises and I was tired enough that they were hard.

So the moment you've all been waiting for, I detoxed my armpits. It wasn't hard at all, it's one tablespoon of this clay mask: https://www.target.com/p/aztec-secret-indian-healing-clay-facial-treatment-15-5oz/-/A-53426756, one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and one teaspoon of water. The website I looked at said you could leave it on for 5-20 minutes. I've used this mask on my face and normally once it hardens it begins to tingle. I left the mask on my armpits for ten minutes and it never tingled, I washed it off when I got in the shower. I read that you should start off with it on for less time and work your way up. If I'm being honest I can't smell anything because of the congestion and I don't know if it worked at all, I also read that you should do it for a few days when you first start. I'll continue to try out my natural deodorant and hopefully I'll be able to smell tomorrow. I'll keep you updated!

Oh so it turns out, I had more than one episode left of "All American." I'm happy because I really liked the show so now I have more to watch!

Like I said before, our exams begin tomorrow. I have French at 9:30 AM and then Physics 2 at 1:30 PM. If I was at school this would be super stressful but now that we're home they've all moved to open note and I believe they won't be too bad. I also have tests on Monday and Tuesday of next week. I have Friday through Sunday off. I'll be happy once they're all over!

So after my one mile run, I caught my breath, that was my main problem. I couldn't breathe. I know I'm going to have work a little bit to get back into the same shape but it was hard. I just didn't feel good and I knew if I'd kept running it'd only be worse. Initially I felt the need to run because it was so nice today, high 50s and sunny (I've acclimated to the Maine temperatures). Fitbod sent a notification that body weight workouts will be free until June 1st now, they've extended them another month. I like to do a 30-minute Fitbod workout followed by a 20-30 minute Youtube dance workout when I'm not running, I think they're fun!

I realize this has been super random, I've been adding to the note on my iPhone all day about things I could possibly add to my blog so that's sort of how I'm structuring the topics. So if you play enough Words with Friends the ads that pop up in between games will start to look appealing. One looked appealing enough that I actually downloaded it, it's just called "Jigsaw Puzzles." Imagine having so much free time that you're completing jigsaw puzzles on an iPhone. There are physical puzzles that I could put together but instead I'm doing it virtually... It's kind of relaxing if I'm being honest.

Well... this is all I have now. I didn't make the banana bread today and tomorrow will be pretty busy because of my exams so I'll plan on Friday. I'll take a picture this time because it's really pretty. Like always, I hope everyone is healthy!
