I blogged 2 days ago about balance, and I know we understand how hard it is to balance. But this kid sure makes it look easy, doesn't he? This is Kyle, he works for me at the Rec. He is one of the many reason I love my job, I love working with these high school students. They keep things in perspective.

I worked out at the Fitness Connection this morning. I did my cardio and then some light lifting, and lots and lots of stretching. I have been sticking with the EFX machine and the concept rower for a while now, so I should really look into switching things up. I need to spend more time running, but I must be honest, I HATE running on the treadmill. I feel like an elephant, and sound like a heard of them. I know, I just need to get over myself and run. I keep trying to convince myself that the running will increase once the weather gets warmer.... In truth it has to or I will never survive running 5k's and then doing my first ever triathlon. In the spirit of the Tri, I also need to spend more time on the bikes, but I am a creature of habit. Breaking the habit of the EFX and the concept rower will be tough, so maybe I just add some bike time into my work out? Maybe.

Spending so much time on the EFX has done away with what little fannie I had. I am at the point with my work outs where I am about to need new shorts. I spend half my time pulling up my shorts as I EFX my way to health and wellness. Of all the places I wanted to drop inches, my fannie was the least of my worries. It will all even out in the end, right? That's what I keep telling myself. So I guess I will visit come College websites and order some new gym shorts. I might as well start with Dartmouth since I have already have my T.

"I like your Dartmouth shirt, who do you know that went there?" "My friend Meredith did her undergrad there." "Meredith Grey? From Grey's Anatomy?" "Yeah, uhh huh."

If I was braver I would use this blog to chronicle my weight loss and weight gain, and inches, and all the nitty gritty stuff. While researching other blogs before I began this I noticed that is what a lot of bloggers do. I'm not there yet. Maybe some day, maybe in a private conversation I will share those things. Maybe. BUT, if you would like to share your success and setback, do tell. We all can relate. I might start a photo journal of some things that are coming along nicely for me. Nooo, not my fannie, though that would be an interesting photo journal. My biceps and triceps are developing nicely, as are my legs. The best photos would probably be of what is not coming along as I had hoped, but again, it is that stuff that I am not yet brave enough to share.

Inside all of us is HOPE.
