Here we are again! Another day, another dollar, hopefully another milestone closing in or past. How's everyone doing?! I don't ask enough about your goals. I don't know if I've ever asked. So what are your goals and what are you doing to accomplish them?!

I have class again today and then I'm done for a while. I have Turbo Kick tonight which is one of my goals to have my own class someday. I work tonight at Hy Vee. Have a great day!

Daily Question: When you are sick (from a migraine, stomach bug, etc.), how do you handle the next day? Do you try to jump right back on track or ease back into it?

Hi team! I am getting ready for class today. I have an 8 hour session today and tomorrow to recertify for my para. When I get home, I need to do some kind of workout but it has to be something that won't make me sweat very much because I am fighting a heat rash. It has not been a good weekend. Any how, hoping that will clear up soon so Turbo tomorrow doesn't make it worse. Can't cancel work! Have a great day!

Daily Question: What shoe size are you?

Depends on the shoe, but I war a 6.5 for most dress shoes. In my workout shoes, I normally buy a 7 because I don't like my toes to hit the end of my shoe and they tend to do that when I don't buy a 7.

If anyone has any tips or knows of good places to walk at 5am in Lewisville, please let me know. :)

Describe your life in High School. Are you the same person? Have you changed?

I was popular in the sense that everyone knew me, not that I ran around with the popular kids. I was in Colorguard (flag corp) for 3 out of 4 years in HS and was in choir for the same 3 years. Basically, I am still the same person, strong in my beliefs, etc., but I think time changes all of us a bit and to that end, I am not the same.

The one thing that I enjoy doing that doesn't feel like work is ____________.

For me, it's dancing. I quite enjoy it. Bowling falls in that category as well, but boy do I feel muscles I forgot I had the next day! :-)

How much time do you spend watching TV on an average day?

Honestly, since I've been laid off, far more than I should. Oftentimes,I turn it on for the noise and I'm not actively watching it.

Are you proactive, or do you procrastinate?

I try to be proactive, but there are some things that I really do procrastinate about. There are some things that I really need to do better about and I'm working on it. Like grocery shopping, I've been procrastinating that. I shouldn't, but I realized after doing it a few times by myself that I have really come to rely on my husband's ability to get things off the top shelf for me.

Do you take time for yourself regularly?

I absolutely try to take time for myself regularly. Sometimes, it is as simple as taking the time for a nice long bubble bath or a long walk by myself. I think sometimes we all need time to clear our minds.

Do you exercise in the morning, afternoon or evening?

I prefer to exercise in the mornings because there is less of an opportunity for me to make an excuse or for something to come up to keep me from it. However, there are some classes at night that I really enjoy and I have been known to do both morning and evening exercise.
