Friday, June 9, 2006I'm Feeling A Little Butt-HurtI had never heard that term until about a year ago and now I have heard it from several different people. And I must say that yesterday I was feeling a little butt-hurt, literally. One thing that great thinkers don't tell you is even though it's easy to ride a bike once you have learned, your butt...

Yesterday my son and I went for our walk and then later in the afternoon I went for a bicycle ride. I can't believe how out of shape I am. I used to bike everywhere and I was struggling yesterday. There are lots of hills... Sign in to see full entry.Wednesday, June 7, 2006Another Baby Step TakenYesterday I lifted weights again. And again I took it very easy. I can feel it this morning but not in a bad way. On top of that, I had a couple of my higher ranked students over last night for some practice. We practiced outside in the 90+ heat. After about an hour, we running on low, taking...

It has happened so often that we just laugh when we talk about... Sign in to see full entry.Monday, June 5, 2006Two WeeksTwooo Weeks. My favorite line from the movie "Money Pit". Other than this line and the scene where the bathtub fell through the floor, there wasn't much to the movie for me. When people ask me how long something will take, I answer frequently with "Twooo Weeks" regardless of what the real answer is....

Not because of any ill effects but from reading about it. This was brought on by editormum's comment about how quitting can be dangerous. Luckily for me, other than being tired at times, things have gone well. I am...

I don't work graveyard shift anymore, in case you missed that bit of great news. After 12 years as a cop and 1 1/2 years in the casino, this is a definite change in lifestyle for me. Especially after this last semester of... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, May 19, 2006Two Weeks Of Summer VacationThe college semester ended today. Yeah! I have two weeks off before the summer semester starts. I'm only taking one class but it's going to be crammed into a month so I'll bet it's going to be a busy month. With my new shift though, I'm feeling bulletproof. That and I'm going to see if I can have...

My son had the luxury of his stroller for much of the walking but he joined in at times himself. We went to the zoo and he loved being down on the ground where he could decide for himself what he wanted to see next. Today he and I went for our daily walk. That's about...

That's the lowest I have been in a long time but a weight that I have been at several times. For some reason, getting below 200 has proved difficult for me in the past. I get there and bounce back up. I have a new schedule at work which I believe is... Sign in to see full entry. |
