I can be the Bell of the Ball

I am watching the snow roll in and keep thinking I should go for a run. I have NO idea why I feel an urge to run in the snow, but I do. I would hate to ruin my shoes, so I won't be doing any running. I thought about shoveling the driveway, a nice cardio workout that could be, then decided I might have better luck making a pouty face at me neighbor in hopes he will just do it for me. It might work? If not, I do have 2 children who were bred for speed and athletic ability, they are a wonderful snow removal system!

I am banking on no school for tomorrow. I am thinking about spending the morning at the Christian Family Centre working out while they are in day care, then we can all go swimming together and rock wall climbing! Then coming home having lunch and heading to The Pit for some sledding. They should sleep well if we can pack it all in.

Tonight is the first night of Wellness University. My goal is to have a computerized body fat composition program in place. I am excited to have a program that can monitor body fat on a weekly basis for those of us that are not seeing results on the scale, but know we are working out hard turning our fat into muscle. If you need more info on Wellness University, click on it and give us a call. All the cool kids are doing it! I love seeing this community become invested in their health and wellness, and being a part of that process.

Shelley told me about wheat meat the other day. She said she saw a program where it was used a 'meat' for chili. Interesting huh? I am still sticking with my lentils. They are giving me protein and I feel good! Though tonight the kids are begging for calzones. I am thinking spinach, fresh mozz, grape tomatoes, and some basil? Could be worse, right? So, calzones it is for dinner tonight, and probably lunch tomorrow. Yum!

I can't wait to get my massage on Saturday. My shoulders hurt from swimming so hard. Thank you Mommy for setting one up for me while we are visiting you over the weekend. I am counting down the days. I am also going to try to do some swimming at The Midland Community Center while I am there. Imagine; a pool that is open every single day? I talked to the boy who works at the Middle School pool for a bit last night. He is so nice. We talked a lot about my swimming, my goals, and he offered lots of help. That is the nice thing about a small town, the individuals are still individuals. Maybe he will be my swim coach? Maybe he can push me to the next level? Maybe. I am working hard on my bilateral breathing. I swim faster when I breathe every 3 strokes, but for whatever reason it hurts my ears to breath on my left side. Seriously. Maybe I need ear plugs? Ear plugs and a killer cool swim cap, I will be the Bell of the Ball! Not as cool as you are in that picture, but I can try!

Inside all of us is HOPE.
