STOP.DOING.THAT

Friday, 27 May 2005 12:10 P GMT-08
so I auditioned and hired a new instructor today for the gym. She's good. She's *really* good. She's originally from Mexico and just graduated from college here in Houston with a bachelor's degree in Nutrition. She's energetic, fun, outgoing, multi-

funny story to tell today. The girl that's taken over the coordinator position at the neighborhood facility is already knee deep in the muck...I'm sure you remember her. The one who was gunning for my position for years, always critical of the way I

neglectful...

Sunday, 22 May 2005 12:16 P GMT-08
Ugh. I've been so absent with the blogging this week. I guess my birthDAY kinda sorta turned into a birthWEEK. But having said that it's been wonderful. Lots of relaxing downtime, meals with friends, shopping, planting, dreaming, planning, hoping, wi

Wednesday, 18 May 2005 3:04 P GMT-08

when you're flipping around the channels and come across "Gilad Bodies in Motion" on FitTV and notice he's doing a really fun looking cardio combo (well you also notice he's wearing really scary skin tight running tights but that's a whol

random blabbering

Monday, 16 May 2005 8:26 A GMT-08
you know it's a sleepy morning when you've already consumed 4 shots of espresso and it's only 11am. Well to be honest, it's a breakfast blend from the grocery store because we ran out of the jacked up stuff this weekend..but still...I'm always a 2 sh

Wednesday, 11 May 2005 10:26 A GMT-08
Well I finally faced my stubborness and gave up the coordinator job at the neighborhood facility yesterday. It's just too much of a constant hassle and I'm so tired of being everyone's doormat. This will allow me to focus my energies on the new gym

this morning my neighbor brought over a photo of our house taken on Christmas morning this last year. Yes..that's snow on the ground. In Houston Texas...actually *on* Christmas.  Amazing.  Too bad we were in Colorado and missed this once in a life

crazy times..

Monday, 9 May 2005 8:05 A GMT-08
We had a huge texas sized storm blow in last night. The power was out for almost 4 hours. Do you know how hard it is to read by candlelight? Gah. Instead I spun around the AM radio dial and wound up on some talk radio business report. Futures, inter

so I broke down a few weeks ago and took advantage of the instructor pricing discount and ordered myself a new fancy schmancy Polar Heart rate monitor. Model M61. With the "You and Me" 2 user profiles (although I'll be damned if I let big

I've taken back the Monday 8:15am class at the neighborhood. It's been a pilates class for the last 3 months but the instructor that has been teaching it is going to be out indefinitely due to personal health reasons ....so as always it defaults back
