Cathy – OOHH Back to College… yes I know that all to well… that will be coming up for me in September. I belive around the 20th or 23rd. As for public school… I go back to work on the 29th of August
too soon for me, but at least I get the hectic part over before classes start for me at the college. The first two weeks back at work are crazy! Students loose their schedule, Administration looses everyones paycheck over the summer, Tracking down the RSP kids, kids going into the wrong classroom! Whew!
Cin – so glad things have gotten back to “normal” for ya, at least as close as possible to “normal” that you feel like yourself again
Mmarie – I hate the humidity as well… my asthma kicks into overtime! I used to live in Ohio, New York, and Florida, and I would constantly be hospitalized for pneumonia or asthma. That was my whole childhood
Everyone told me once I moved to California I would be in big trouble because of the smog… In the 13 years I been here, I only had 2 major attacks, unlike the majors attacks I got every other week back east…
Liz – I really should get back to scrabooking
I have so many projects started and none of them finished!
Wannabe – WELCOME SHERRY! I’m sorry to hear about your loss, and I can only imagine what you must feel like. I lost my grandmother a while ago and she was the only person in the world who really understood me. The funny thing is, she spoke Thai and I spoke broken Thai, so there was a language barrier. But we still understood each other. That was in 1995… it still lingers around, but I’ve managed to maintain my depression. I know you will too! *big hugz*
BostonMox – WELCOME
I too have put my foot down and said THIS IS THE TIME! I wish you all the best. Glad to see you here.
I’m looking forward to going to the gym today. James is my own personal trainer. Had I known he knew so much I would have made him get a membership a LONG time ago. He used to run cross country so he knows all the exercises and how to do them. He told methe other day, he used to get up every morning before school and run 5-6 miles everyday. The three times a week he would swim a few miles. And then he would bike at least 50 miles a week and then hit the gym. My jaw dropped. I didn’t know the human body could do that!!!!!!
I asked him, how in the heck (I used a different word
) did you find time to do it all… he said he always had time. Then I said your social life must have sucked
he said what’s a social life. :-p
What I would really like to know is, why didn’t he mention this before?! Anyways when we went to the gym the last few times, he’s told me which machines to use, what a good order is, and some good techniques. Mentioned like work on machines that work more than one muscle first. Then work on the antagonistic machines. Like if you are doing an exercise that is pulling down with your arms, do a pushing up with arms. He said go from general muscles to specific muscles. Basically do the weights that work a group of muscles then later towards end of workout, use a machine that does a specific muscle. The the curls which work the tri cep or bi cep. Work on one region of the body one day and another region the next day. Like upper body then lower body. I don’t say this to anyone as professional advice, just what he’s told me (so please don’t use it as advice) It sounded good to me. I’ve been trying to do all the machines that work the whole body and when I got home I was just sore and tired. Since I’ve been doing what he’s said, I’ve actually felt better and not so wasted all over.
Anyways, I think I talked you guys ears off enough… I’ll catch you all later!
Hope everyone has a good day!
Sue…
