Almost Friday

I've made it through what ended up being an INCREDIBLY HARD WEEK!!! For all sorts of reasons. As much as I look forward to the end of the school year, I really dislike the end of the school year! So much going on, so many things to do, and everyone is exhausted. So even though I planned to start going to the Y this week, a killer allergy headache, a need for a Cosmo, and a surprise medical bill delayed my good intentions. But I'm determined that by Saturday afternoon, I'll be paid up and have experienced my first workout there.

Great news as of this evening is that I now have 3 gym buddies, who all like different things. Steph is great with cardio and weights, Shanna likes classes, and Sarah likes to swim. It's awesome!! It's going to be awesome. Now I just need to follow through... Which is the hard part. But hopefully it will work out. I'm trying to be positive!!

I have 2 new-to-me bathing suits just waiting to be washed and worn in the pool. I love being in the water, and I want to get better at lap swimming (I totally suck wind and have asthma flares during lap swims). And the only way to get better is to practice. And since Sarah *not me* is training with the Tri-Babes for a Triathlon, she has motivation to get better, too... We'll mock ourselves and support each other together!!!

Chris is getting on the healthier-living bandwagon, at least as far as supporting me making healthier choices. I've got hope that he'll start making some healthier choices himself. I'd like to have him around longer than his dad was... 52 is way too young...

That's all I have right now. Chris goes to Vancouver tomorrow early to paint his aunt's house, I have a long day of paperwork and packing at work, and then a doctor's appointment to get my CPAP and go over the instructions for it. Hopefully it makes a great difference in how I feel... I could use some extra energy.

My goal for the next 2 days: Pay for the month at the Y and start working out slowly.
