Kontan.

I would love to post more but lately it just isn’t happening. Here’s what I’m up to…

Health kick…I’m tired of feeling yuck so I’m going to do something about it. [private]I’m using www.sparkpeople.com to help and I’m meeting with a group from work to share ideas, recipes, and such. I’m not certain the group from work is going to work out. They’re all about the points and mathematical aspect of weight loss. I don’t care as much about the way as I do getting my body in to shape and feeling better. Weight will be part of it and that is still a good thing. One of the key factors to eating right and exercising is supposed to be journaling and the water deal. That’s where sparkpeople comes in. I had no idea what I was taking in or burning. Entering the info into the sp site helps me keep track with minimal work on my part. I’ve been pretty shocked by the negative value of some things we eat. SP is a lot like myspace in its set up. I haven’t explored that aspect yet. No, I don’t need another website to maintain, but I am finding this one beneficial.

Today I worked out for the first time in months. It felt so good!!! My wrist doesn’t let me do as much as I would like with the free weights, but it was good to be working at it again. I didn’t realize I had missed it! Now if I just had the trainer to go with it. I was so motivated when T and B were challenging me! B was the encourager and T was the instigator. He knew how to challenge me to prove him wrong. Yep, all about the competition! There is one exercise that I wanted to do and can’t. The hanging crunches! They’re awesome! I haven’t figure out how to do them here…no equipment for hanging around, LOL! After working with weights and some of the other equipment I swam laps. I know it is good for me, but it is a struggle. I need to build my breath again. So much to do-so much to do. It will come.

Love teaching college. You teach, they listen and write. What a concept. I can’t complain, my high schoolers are almost doing the same. They still can’t take notes, but it is a long term goal.

Off to bed. It was my intention to be there an hour ago. [/private]
