Well have a great day anyway! Looking forward to starting climbing and hearing about your experiences, too
Hey my BD teacher was inspired by my "gypsy-wildness" and is choreography a dance because of me! Isn't that cool!!!????
That is too cool!
Soooo, I took a bit of a break from the computer for a couple days after Christmas. That is, I wasn't on nearly as much as I usually am.
Last week was pretty stressful with Xmas looming, trying to get some things wrapped up at work since they've put me on 'furlough' for about a month or so, PMS, etc.
Christmas Eve & Day were both pretty chill, and that's a good thing. Getting to hang out with the family is usually a good day, thankfully. Most of my family, the ones I choose to have anything to do with (except for a couple uncles who are in other parts of the state) are in the SF Bay Area... so luckily I don't have to do a lot of traveling.
I haven't been overly diligent about what I've been eating, and kinda slacked off on working out last week. So yep, I put on a couple pounds. But I'm not overly worried about it. This week I've picked back up on the workouts. Did a Tae Bo Amped workout that kicked my ass, then some yoga today. Got my ass kicked in MMA last night. Neck's a little sore from last night too... likely didn't fall quite right when I got flipped. Probably do some weight lifting tomorrow, or some extended belly dance. Haven't decided yet. Maybe a quick walk, then some weights, followed by some yoga. Depends on what I feel like doing tomorrow.
I've really been enjoying the slower pace the last few days, but I know I will start going stir crazy soon. That's ok, I've got plenty to keep me busy around here... playing catch-up on things that I have neglected, so some very early spring cleaning, get rid of a bunch of stuff I don't use anymore, make another run to Goodwill with more clothing that is too big, maybe start painting again.
I figure since I'm not going to be at work for a while, this will be a good time to focus on getting those last 5 (7?) pounds off and work on whipping my ass in to even better shape. Hopefully there will at least be some part time work in the interim (those pesky bills and all), or the furlough won't last too long... I can do about a month or a month and a half, but any longer than that is going to hurt.
I found out one of my best friend's brothers is opening up a gym in my town very soon. I think his projected date of opening is Jan 2. Don't know if he's going to make it or not, but if he is, I'm going to crash the grand opening. Cool thing is, its in a location where there was a gym I used to belong to a long time ago. It was a pretty cool gym then. Looking at the pics of what they've been doing to the place, its going to be a pretty cool gym when they are finished.
Thing is, unless I can get a screaming 'friend/family' membership, I'll probably still join the rock climbing gym. Between the two, I think it will be easier to access in my daily routines. Then again... you never know. Maybe I can do a month at one place, then a month at the other, see which one I like better.
Ah well, gotta get back to working full time before I do any sort of gym membership.
I'm doing a very low key NYE this year.
I want to kiss the tops of your boots! LOL!
Isn't that sweet of him? He used to be a climber so it's also a fun way to spend time together and for him to take his mind off of pain. Instructing me will help him not be bored and depressed--and I get to learn, too! 
We'll see. It would be a fun experience.
You HAVE to!!! I'll keep you updated on how to volunteer so you don't have to pay $$$
