I'm baaack!

What a long month and a half!! I've been going through a lot of changes, working a lot! and trying to figure out how to change my fitness routine to accommodate my work life. I haven't had two full days off in a row for so long, I mean months!! that I finally hit my limit. So, I'm not teaching a regular class anymore, I have a portable MBG, and am getting myself set up to continue working out at home for a while as I get a better sense of what I need. I haven't danced for months either--apart from the usual jump around by myself in my living room dancing.

Nutrition, I've had a hard time with that too...I did start making sure I had one healthy meal each day by going to the salad bar in the cafeteria at work and making a nice spinach salad with tuna fish. I know that this time of year is hard because of all the cake, candy, etc., but that isn't really a temptation for me. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, usually. When I'm feeling really stressed, I start to want cake, but that's not an issue right now, although it has been in previous months.

I know I will miss working out with people eventually, but right now, it feels good to take ownership of my fitness and do my own thing. The only thing I like about this time of year is that once the solstice passes, I know days will begin to lengthen. Just that seems to help.

I'm sick right now. Bad cold, lost my voice, coughing and wheezing. I feel happy, though. I'm strong, and I have all my strong beautiful friends to keep me company!!
