• I took my 11th WWM Fitness class yesterday! I’m enjoying them, and am getting a great workout. Yay! I’m so glad I gave it a try last month. I’m currently aiming for 2-3 classes a week.

  • I really enjoy being the student in a group fitness class and NOT the teacher. I don’t miss teaching at all. I got back the only thing I missed about it – the camaraderie. And now that I’m a student I’ve made some realizations – like I don’t care what music is played as long as it’s upbeat and loud, and that technology (being able to use an app to sign up for classes, the way the timers in class work) is so helpful.
  • I’ve been curious about acupuncture for several years, and a video (not about acupuncture, it was just mentioned) I watched this week gave me the final kick to look into it. I know a lot of people try it for chronic pain, but I’m curious to see if it helps me feel relaxed/less anxious, and if it can help with an imbalance on my left side at all. (And I got the okay to try it from my pharmacist yesterday)
  • I hate that finding out about potential work travel makes me panic about working out. I know I’ll work out when I travel. I’ve done it many times. But my mind still panics. And if I didn’t work out for a few days?! Not a big deal! Gah. Come on, brain.
  • I’ve been thinking about getting highlights for my hair. I haven’t dyed it since 2002 (on my own – I’ve never had it dyed professionally).
  • I forgot to mention we watched A Few Good Men last week (it dropped 50% in price so we bought it) for work movie club. I can’t believe I had never seen it! Whoa. What an intense movie. I enjoyed it, although I felt like it ended a bit abruptly.
  • I’ve mentioned this before but I can’t wait until I get an annual leave increase in December. 52 more hours off a year!
  • I feel like audiobooks are a life hack everyone knew about and I didn’t understand. I’m getting so much more reading done now that I listen to a book while I drive, shop, work out, etc.
