Jamie's Back. Back Again.

So much has happened since my last post - mainly I got a job, been here about 6 weeks and started to notice that "the squish" has come back. Ladies, you know what I'm talking about - all of a sudden when you move there's a roll. Unpleasant but sometimes a fact of life.

Seriously, you'd think with all that time I had being unemployed I'd be doing push-ups like this by now:


Alas, that is not the case. Instead I chose to fill my time with job hunting, interviews, the after-interview-mocha, chocolate, and Criminal Minds marathons on three different channels (I love me some Derek Morgan). Quite frankly I wouldn't change that at all, I did what I needed to do.

Now it's time to get back in the saddle - mostly because of "the squish" and because I have an insanely long commute and I'm sure things are going to start expanding here shortly. Parrish & I have the Kinect and yesterday we started the Your Shape training program, which I'm excited about. So far, I've only done the physical test for it but I'm sore as all get out. Sonja and I are also talking about the logistics of running twice a week... it's a little harder since I now work 2 towns over but I think we can both use the girl time.

Today was supposed to be my first work-out and I woke up at 5:30 am, and I immediately went back to sleep. Honestly, it was awesome, but I feel like I have to AT LEAST set some goals to make up for it. So here goes:

April Goals

1. Mochas down to 1 a week. No apple fritters.
2. Work out 4 times a week.
3. Start 1 painting in April
4. Read 1 book a week
5. 1 blog post a week. To keep me honest.

Ok, so some of them aren't exercise related, but they go to my stress level so it all counts, right? Right?!

I think these are do-able, and with Parrish acting like my Drill Sargent (which is much appreciated) I think I'll have it covered.
