Where's Waldo??

Oh my goodness......seems like a week or two since I posted.  I knew I was terribly behind but didn't realize it had been well over a MONTH.

I'm good, I'm great really but very very busy.  I teach children all day, come home, snack, change clothes and go to my Bootcamp class at 5:30 or Zumba at 6, back home, cook dinner, eat, take care of things for the college course I teach, work on PhD, make lunch and coffee for next day and bed.  It is seriously crazy busy and doesn't leave a lot of time for much else.  In fact,  my PhD stuff has been the red-headed stop-child lately as I leave it for last and last place it where it stays.  My health is first place then in a close first is my life and job responsibilities.  I really think most people have lives like this.  I think??  I also think I have no idea what life without the busy chaos is like.  So I do function very well in it.

Last week and so  far this week (Tuesday) I haven't worked out at all!!  I really miss it.  Feel sick and blah without my intensive workouts but I HAD to come home and go into hiding and work on my dissertation if I want to finish. I also had a little knee strain from doing Zumba in my living room on carpet in new tennis shoes (too much traction for the sassy moves).  Nursed that back to health quickly.  I will go back to Bootcamp tomorrow because I miss it badly and feel like crap not working out.  I never thought I'd get to a point in life where I felt sick, blah and fat NOT working out.  But I really do and it is a wonderful feeling.  On a side note,  I lost the 3 pounds I had gained.  Lost this 3 pounds at the end of last week when I didn't work out.  That is weird but pretty annoying too.  I go up and down in the 3 pound range constantly but to lose that much and not work out really does support the claim that I am building muscle.

I have a lot of cool things to tell you all about me and what has been going on in my healthy little world lately so will share those in some other posts.  I need to catch up so be sure to check for several posts back to back.  Until then.....
