Testing

YAY I finally figured out how to get a few pics on here. This is an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G oil painting I saw a few months back at a fun little festival called Swiss Days. The photo doesn't even begin to do it justice. Lucky for me, since I don't have $4,000 to buy it, the artist was near by and gave me permission to snap this little photo on my phone. So please excuse the offcenterness of it. The sun was shinning and I obviously couldn't tell that it wasn't centered.

I WAS doing pretty good

I'm trying to convince myself that I like running. I'm trying to turn myself into a runner. So far it isn't working. I am doing better though. The goal is to get up to running 5 miles by September. I'll get there, slowly, eventually, hopefully.

I was doing pretty good (my pretty good is most peoples just okay). But then I lost my headphones. Sigh. It's not that a new pair would be outrageously expensive. I just haven't gone to get them. I'll put that on the to-do list for Monday.

I was doing pretty good, but then I went to Oregon for a weekend. Didn't do so good while I was there.

I was doing pretty good, but shift work kills ya sometimes.

Now, where's that motivation? I know it's around here somewhere.

Red Velvet

I came across this statement the other day. It sums up my feelings exactly. "You're a human being, you live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damn red velvet cupcake." I love red velvet anything!

Starting Again

I was going to title this entry Starting Over. But 'over' sounds so negative and final. Again is exciting and enjoyable. Lets do this AGAIN...So here goes.
Yes I was extremely lazy over the holidays. Ate way, WAY to much and didn't exercise nearly enough.
So to Start Again I have found a gym buddy in one of the Officers I work with (we meet at the gym as long as our schedules will allow, This month I'm on my own Thur-Sat), I'm planning on taking a spinning class starting in about a week and a half, and just joined a local 10 lbs in 30 days challenge.
Good Luck To Me!
