I realized today that it has been a really long time since I last posted. I’m sure no one has noticed, but I feel like playing a bit of catch up anyway.
This is what has been going on the last few months:
· I’m no longer taking the stairs every day. Not because I am being lazy but because I changed positions within the company and moved to a different building that is only one level. My car is now spitting distance from my desk so my daily steps have dropped significantly. The change happened just over a month ago and I’m still trying to determine my new routine for this job so I haven’t figured out a way to add walking back into my working hours.
· Back in early April I signed up to be on a Dragon Boat team. It was one of the greatest things I have ever done. Those who follow me on Twitter got to hear the play by play of my practices 3 nights a week for 10 weeks followed by a long weekend of racing in early June. It was hard on my body but worth every second. I loved it. My team did great coming in 3rd place in our division and 7th place overall. I can’t wait until next April when practice starts again!
· Just before Dragon Boat ended I was looking to find another activity to get out of the house and get my heart rate pumping so I signed up to be on a kick ball team with some coworkers. I regret it already. Mostly because the people on my team lack commitment but also because I am terrible at kickball. I’m trying though, and I guess that is what counts. And unlike most of the people on my team I actually have shown up for every game. It really frustrates me when people agree to do something, put money into it, and then don’t follow through. I showed up for a game in record breaking rainfall. Only 4 other people did out of 15 on the team.
· Speaking of team members that suck…My Portland to Coast team may be the death of me. It’s like pulling teeth with them to get things accomplished. I’m betting we either get disqualified or don’t race this year. Which sucks as it is already paid for and my mom is flying out for the race. I’ve been wanting to run the Hood to Coast relay version for several years now, so I’ve decided this will be my last year herding cats on a walking team. 7 years is enough…it’s time to move on. (Shhhhh, don’t tell my team yet….)
· I didn’t go to Fitbloggin this year and I sort of regret it. But also sort of don’t. I didn’t have the money to go, but I missed seeing my friends. And I’ve gotten the impression that this year’s event wasn’t that great. The sponsors were phenomenal from what I can tell though. I’m toying with the idea of going next year when it’s in Denver. We will see. Depends on who else is going.
· My 4-year Lifetime Anniversary with Weight Watchers is in just under 2 weeks. I’m currently 5lbs over my goal weight and have been for quite some time. I’m not happy about it, and only half-assing my efforts to get back down to where I should be. I feel gross. I’m working on getting back down to where I need to be and staying there, but it’s harder than it used to be for some reason and I just don’t know why.
· I have a jam-packed summer, which I actually kind of like. Last week my very good friend came to visit me for a week. Even though we talk every day we haven’t seen each other for 2 years so it was nice to be reunited. And then in a few weeks another good friend I haven’t seen in a year is coming to town for a few days on “business” and has promised me a few evenings of her schedule. Then in August my mom and step dad will be in town most of the month and we are going to Disneyland for a few days. (Where I plan to have beers with another friend I haven’t seen in a year). And then in September I am going to Seattle to see yet another friend who I haven’t seen in a year too!
· I signed up for a half marathon in Disney World in January! I am super excited! My mom will be racing with me as well. A great mother/daughter weekend! I need to get on a training plan as I haven’t run since…April? Yikes!
I really need to make a better effort to blog more. I enjoy it, but I get discouraged a lot due to lack of response. I’m a super jealous person so when I see all my internet friends getting free crap from companies and lots of blog traffic I get all green with envy…but then I have to remind myself that I don’t really put as much attention into this silly little blog as they do. I also have nothing interesting or original to say. Sometimes I get great ideas on things I would like to write about, but then I don’t…because I suck.
HA!
XOXO
