Three Things Thursday

by Matt on May 31, 2012

Things have been a little bit nuts around here lately.

I’ve had so much going on this month that it’s been hard for me to find time to blog. Over the past few days, I’ve come to realize that I really do miss writing a daily post. My blog is a place for me to share my thoughts and connect with other like-minded people. From here on out, I’m going tomake a concious effort to put more time into it. Someone hold me to it!

Other than that, things have been going really well lately. I feel like my life is settling into a really good place and I’m excited to see what the future holds.

Without rambling too much, here are three things that I’m loving this Thursday:

1. My Birthday Was On Tuesday

It was a pretty low-key birthday, but that’s how I like it. I always like to fly under the radar when it comes to special events. I went out with my family on Sunday to celebrate, but we also had a small party at work. My friend baked a carrot cake. I LOVE carrot cake. I’m not a huge sweets person, but it was extremely good.

2. I’m Addicted

I know Clare has been loving this stuff as well. It’s a shame that it can only be found at certain Whole Foods, but lucky for me, the one I shop at every week carries it!

3. Spinning Like Crazy

Since my bike was stolen (insert sad face), I’ve had to resort to going to spin classes or doing it on my own. I’ve been going to 5:30 AM spin on Mondays and Thursdays and it never fails to give me a good workout. I was actually going to cancel my gym membership because my apartment complex has great machines, but I’ll probably wait to do that until I buy a new bike. I’ve been looking around, but I haven’t found anything that I’m in love with yet.

How is your Thursday treating you?

It’s not Friday, but it’s pay day :)

glad you had a good birthday!

i went to my first spin class a few weeks ago and loved it!! it was $12 though. kinda pricey. is that a typical price for a single session class?

Spin classes are free at my gym as long as you have a membership. I think I pay $30 per month?

that’s awesome! I pay $36 a month and have no access to any of the classes offered. it’s technically a separate company in a building next to the gym but owned by the same person. They really need to tie in some kind of deal with a gym membership.

Yeah that’s no bueno. $36 is actually a pretty good rate for a gym membership though as long as the machines are up to par.

yeah that’s not too bad. it’s through Snap Fitness. the good part is that they seem to be popping up more and more and I think there are a few near where I’ll be when I move back to Texas in August.

Where in Texas?

Spring. It’s north of Houston. Near The Woodlands. I’m trying to finish up my computer science degree at Sam Houston in Huntsville. I’ll probably be up in the Dallas area on occasion as a buddy of mine lives there. Tennis? haha.

Yeah definitely! Send me an email if you are ever in the Dallas area!

I’m looking at Specialized. What about you?

Happy late Birthday Matt! Carrot cake is a favorite of mine, too. What a nice friend! ;)

I bet I would love that almond butter so thanks for the heads up. And sorry about your bike…that is a bummer! Just gives you an excuse to upgrade then right? haha.
