I haven't put much action behind wanting to be at a healthier weight for a long time. I am not exactly sure why that is but I am getting tired of just thinking about it. It's time to do something about it. I want to go back to spin but am terrified that I don't have the level of fitness required of spin.
I know that I have to start somewhere, but when I think about where I was before I got sick and where I am now....I get really pissed off. I miss being able to work out for an hour+ and knowing that it was hard but also knowing that it was very doable. Again, I know that I have to start somewhere....but does somewhere have to be so far back. Sigh.
It's time for my whole family to be eating healthier. It's time for us all to move more. It's time, but do I have the motivation again? Do I have what it takes to inspire my family to move towards a healthier version of themselves. I don't know. And...if I can't motivate myself and my family how could I EVER motivate anyone else.
On top of it all, it is very difficult to want to get out and exercise when you're still running a fever most of the time. It just sucks.

Catching up
I have a cold. At least I think it is a cold, but I have noticed that the lung issues that I had earlier this year are more prevalent when I am sick. Smells are triggering me to cough, etc. Ick!
Nate is back in school, and doing some extracurricular activities that leave him at school until 4:30 two days a week. It is very strange to have him gone from the house that long...I know that it will only get worse from here on out, but right now it is just weird. He is participating in drama (ahhhh...just like his mama), and then chess club (just like his daddy). Two very cool things to do, and I am excited to see how the year plays out with both activities.
All of that gives me extra time to do be productive. Have I been? Well, kind of. Mostly I have caught up on my relaxing, and then I got sick. The one exciting thing that I did do???? I finished reading my book. You know the one. The one that I wrote last November in a flurry of fingers flying :) I have been scared to read it. I thought that maybe it wasn't any good. However, I kinda liked it. I actually laughed out loud at one point. I have a TON of editing to do, and that is my next step but it is encouraging to know that I liked reading it.
So that's what has been going on. I still need a job, and I look at the want ads daily. There isn't much available unless you're a nurse or a medical assistant. But someday soon there will be an ad that will be perfect for me, and I will then have a job :)
