Yesterday i signed up for more classes at my former high school. I will be going for another round of Golf lessons starting on March 19th (because i can't remember a damn thing from my last round of lessons). I'm SYKED!
I will also be going back to my Tuesday night Yoga family! Jeanne will be my teacher again. A side note about Jeanne. Last night i received, in the snail mail, a hand written letter from her thanking the few of us that waited patiently in class while she endured a 4 hours Joisey Jam on the Parkway on our last day of class last semester. She also thanked us for not even bringing up the fact that she offered a free class that night, 1 week prior to the Winter semester starting, when we signed up. So in double thanks she's offering a 3 hour double class for any and all that want to attend free of charge one week before classes start. I thought that was extremely nice of her and it really just goes to show you the caliber of woman she really is. I love my Yoga teacher!
My 3rd class is high energy aerobics. That class is held 3 days a week. So on Mon, Wed, and Thursdays i will have Aerobics. Tuesday is Yoga and when my Thursday aerobics class ends Golf lessons start until mid April. Not to mention the workouts on Tuesdays and Fridays at work and all the Wii fit games i play at night my bod is going to be super tight for the Summer! I can't WAIT!
So how are you keeping busy this Winter?

Roller Coaster of a Day
Today was filled with ups and downs. Emotional highs and a vision that is now so permanently branded in my mind's most pessimistic eye i don't' know how long it's going to take to shut the movie down.
For starters I SLEPT GREAT last night. Woke up nice and refreshed and ready to take on this new day, and that i did. It started with my ride into work. I have been having a really bad case of road rage lately and yesterday driving to work from Kyle's house was an eye opener for even me. I need to calm down. I was talking this over with my co-worker yesterday and she told me to just blast my favorite music and not give a shit about what goes on outside my 4+ windows. I took her advice today and i had a very calm and relaxing, yet cranking drive in to work today!
At work i made a fresh cup of my favorite coffee and had my breakfast, I'm officially ready to take on the world of work. IT added a new menu to my current menus and it was on from there. We (my co-worker SW and I) received a new process and we now OWN this process. WE ROCK! i also figured out a way to get a .txt file into excel. For some of you that already know how to do this i apologize for having to speak of this but I'm excited as hell! See, when you transfer a .txt file into excel it copies over all data into one cell. This prevents you from sorting and the like. So what i found is a way to format that cell's data into separate cells in 5 moves! WORD! So now once that data is sorted i copy/paste into an excel template which is then imported into our computer system as a live order and Viola! a 500 line order now takes 5 minutes instead of 5 hours! Hey it's all about that 5's! lol . seriously. WE have managed to snuff out a procedure that normally took us HOURS of data entry and 3 people to accomplish. Some might be fearful of job security or lack there of.. I fear nothing of the sort.. This opens up more time for competent people such as myself and SW to delve into bigger projects to get this ship running like a well oiled machine. (Under our manager's guidance and directive of course!).
So after my awesomely productive day i decided to get Chinese food on my way home from work. And this is where my newly branded horror picture was created. I turned into the shopping complex, went passed the McDonald's and rode the back part of the parking lot. It's raining and cold and sleeting. My wipers are on intermittent and i have an SUV behind me with his high beams on blinding me. What else is blinding me? the over head parking lot lights hitting my windshield when my wipers pass. The SUV turns off and i can now see the damn concrete lamp post about 4 feet from the front of my car. I quickly turned the wheel to the left! my back end slid nearly missing the damn concrete post and i quickly came to a stop at that point. i sat there in shock for a mere second or two, got my car positioned properly towards the Chinese food place, headed to my parking spot and sat quietly for a moment. Once i stopped shaking, i got my food and headed home. All the way home the flash of hitting the concrete lamp post base was haunting me.. Yes, i do realize i didn't hit it, but the "what-if" picture kept flashing.. It hasn't stopped and it's been 4.5 hours, and it's freaking me the hell out!
After dinner, i went to Target to buy Jillian Michael's' Ultimatum 2009 for WiiFit. I get home and it annoys me. i couldn't get the damn balance board configured with the game.. I almost threw the damn thing out the window. But instead i went to the regular WiiFit game and it worked fine.. OK I'm calm now knowing there isn't a problem With the balance board. I start up her game again and decided to just use the exercises that don't require the board. which isn't very many. I RAN A LOT! lol.. i burned 118 calories in 30 minutes. not bad.. Then i went back to trouble shoot the balance board when i was more calm (actually i just needed a break lol) I got it to configure FINALLY! SO now i have more workouts i can do and only to find out that they really are almost impossible to do! not because they are hard, but because the damn Wiimote and nunchucks don't respond properly.. I had to hit a heavy bag and she just wouldn't punch OR KICK no matter what i did.. so i don't know if there is an issue with the game or what but i stopped right there and called it a night.. i was getting mad. OH! I also bought the Iron Gym pull up bar thingy that you see on TV for my lower ABS.. because let's face it.. I'm not lifting my 103 lb ass up in the air, i can manage the lower half barely lol. I wish i was 23 again. lol
I also downloaded to my Ipod workouts from Women's Health Magazine. Now i can do other workouts too.. I need to do something.. I'm desperate.. My trainer wasn't in today, we had a sub.. he's not a very good sub.. Mike gets me going.. this guy is just there to babysit us lol.. i need someone that orders me around damnit! lol.. Yes, like boot camp!
OK.. so i went from smiles to elation, from fear to crying, from sedentary to busting my ass all in 16.5 hours.. not bad for a Tuesday.

Happy Birthday to me
6 months later! lol
Kyle was FINALLY able to acquire the WiiFit i wanted for my birthday! He surprised me Friday night after work.. Needless to say I've been WiiFitting all weekend and tonight as well.
I'm ADDICTED!
(The running exercise is, by far, the most hysterical.) I love all the games but the tightrope walk so far.. I just don't understand it at all at this point.. I've gotten through it a couple of times, it's just the balance part.. I'm standing about as even as anyone could and it's making my Mii tilt like she is going to lose her balance.. I guess I'll have to keep at that one.. that's my CHALLENGE challenge lol.
I love the Yoga too.. It's helping me with my form and balance so when i go back to class in January (almost February) I'll have better balance and I'll be better at the forms too.. I'm so glad i have something to bide my time through the down time between semesters. lol!
Tonight i Wii'd for 1 hour and 6 minutes and i only technically "worked out" for 45 minutes. It felt great! I'm glad i have something like this to get me through the winter! Now i want Jillian's(trainer from the biggest loser) WiiFit game. The one the Fit comes with is pretty hard.. but once i unlock all the games I'll need a bigger challenge, and almost all my balancing games are unlocked.. well on the easy levels anyway. There are plenty of levels and challenges to keep one busy for a LONG TIME, but if ever i want to go all out i would like to have Jillian's challenge around to use.
The Ab workout was a hard one.. my abs certainly do feel it today.. but that's good. That's what i need.
If you don' t like to "work out" i highly recommend this little device. It's almost like you AREN'T working out because it's a lot of fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
