Filled an old milk-jug full of water so I can work out my arms while I watch Vikings (lost my weights in the move)

A lot has been going on in my life lately (not the least of which involves fighting with my Dad. I've been awfully upset, so don't take offense if you don't get a response quickly like normal) so it's been a little while since I posted anything. Here are some updates on my life.

Physical Health
Not sick anymore, so that's great!
As far as my body goes I'm pretty damn healthy; my muscles are back to a happy dull-ache now that I've gone back to work and returned to my normal workout.
As far as dietary needs go, it's interesting. I received one of those little magic-bullet blenders for Christmas so my roommie and I are getting really into healthy smoothies as meals(which includes the addition of protein powder, which is new for us). Honestly the smoothies are helping me WORLDS with my problem of not eating enough. The amount of fruits and vegetables that goes into one smoothie is honestly more than I'm used to eating in a day, and I consume at least two a day! (Our grocery bill has even decreased since we started doing this, since we primarily buy our produce from the small grocerystore we work at; so we're eating more and wasting less). I even think my metabolism is starting to return to a healthy state, since I feel hunger again (I went for a VERY long period of time where I absolutely would not feel hunger until my stomach physically HURT. Now I feel regular hunger).
What I put into my usual smoothie
A generous fistful of spinach leaves
1/2 of a banana
a few chunks of pinapple
1/2 of an avocado
a small scoop of protein powder
a little splash of orangejuice

Religion/Spirituality
As many of you may know, I am a practitioner of Asatru(Norse Paganism). Lately I've been doing a lot of praying to my gods, particularly Odin, which is strange for me considering I've never prayed to Odin before and generally Loki is my patron deity.

Family
Been fighting with my Dad about my stepmother. I'm organizing with my Grandmother and my Aunt to throw an intervention for my Dad when we get the whole family together during the summer.

Still not sure where my lover and I stand in regards to his child, it's a very long and personal story, the details of which I will not openly share considering it is also HIS personal business; don't want to talk too much about that here. I only mean to put it here since it relates to the issues with my father. If my lover and I DO choose to be a family, I will be raising his daughter with him. If this is the case, I have to give my Dad the ultimatum that either he divorce my stepmother, or never meet his grandkids. I refuse to have that poisonous woman or her influence around my children. If my Dad makes the wrong decision, I will cut him out of my life for good. Anyone who would choose his fear of being alone over his daughter and grandchildren is no father of mine.

yes, I absolutely DID go into the bathroom to take this selfie because the lighting is better
