Rainy Monday

Monday, April 30, 2012

Well, I went to help out with a stream monitoring class for a group of high school kids and got caught in the rain, and even though my feet are feet and it is pouring outside, I don't care.... Normally a day like this would put me in a terrible funk, but I am excited to go to the Y tonight and my new challenge starts this week. I am ready for it.

Spreading the Spark!

Thursday, April 26, 2012

I am so excited. My office is doing a 3 month weight loss challenge and I spread the spark! I am hoping I will get at least one new sparker to our spark family, hopefully more, but if I can reach one, that will make me feel really good.

I also got another girl to come to water aerobics with me!!!!!!!! I am so excited, most of the time I am the youngest one in the class, it will be so nice to have someone my age.

clutter

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

I need to declutter my house. I have read several articles that have motivated me to do so, but when it comes time to do just that, I can't make myself do it. I hope to be moving to a new house over the summer and I really need to start the pitching process so we won't have to move unnecessary things. I feel like I need to take a day from work to just go through the house and destroy the clutter.

I guess my biggest problem is staying clutter free. I feel guilty throwing out my kids' pictures, but when you get so many, it is hard to keep them all. I got to get my husband in the mood to throw away some of his stuff too. UGH! Clutter!

I agree - it is difficult to get a handle on clutter, and it doesn't help that I tend to procrastinate! Taking it one step at a time and breaking the job up into small manageable projects has helped me. There is a spark team that has been a good source of support and help for me - Babysteps Brigade. Best wishes with your decluttering and up coming move. Report Inappropriate Comment

I have the same problem. I can declutter, then I let it build back up again. Good luck decluttering! Report Inappropriate Comment

kids

Thursday, April 19, 2012

I had an awesome experience teaching kids about competition in nature today. I miss being a teacher some times, but my job now allows me to go to schools and teach kids about conservation and the environment without all the beauratic ridiculousness that I know all teachers daily face. It made me feel so good to have so much fun with the kids. Gotta love youth!

Going to enjoy being with my own as soon as I get off this evening.

Springy

Tuesday, April 17, 2012

That is how I feel today! Just springy!!!!!

I did my breathing yesterday on the way home and felt so good that I did a 2 mile walk when I got home. I didn't crash on the sofa or run to the kitchen for a before dinner snack (which I am famous for), I went right into a walk, right in my living room. My girls walked with me for a little while and then off to their own things, but I kept going until I hit 2 miles and then stopped to make dinner.

Exercise is something that I usually dread, but after yesterday, I have more energy and look forward to my before dinner walk this evening.

That's very inspiring. Yes! Oxycise! and Life Lift and BodyFlex all increase our oxygen = energy levels dramatically. And getting rid of carbon dioxide is the biggest part of metabolizing process which = getting rid of fat! Way to go. Sounds like you're doing great! Report Inappropriate Comment
