I started my ballet class on Monday and it was fun! :) Christine and I had a miscommunication regarding which class we were signed up for so she was there for the 5:45 Ballet Workout class instead of the 6:30 regular Adult Beginner Ballet. Since she was already there she took that class too! She decided that she liked it and signed up for the full session. Since it was "bring a friend for free" session, I signed up too! Tomorrow should be interesting. The Ballet Workout class is more aerobic and therefore more of a workout so I will have an hour and 45 minutes of exercise tomorrow after no working out all week! Yikes! Wish me luck! :)
It was quite a hectic week at work with two annual reviews that I had to complete, both of which were a little late, but I got them done! Now on to the last week of January with billing due at the end of the week. The paperwork at my job is like laundry (which I need to do as well!), Never ending! Anyway, I also have the "Meet the Author" night on Friday, which should be lots of fun! And then a weekend of painting. I am so thankful that I have lots of helpers coming to assist. I really do have the best friends ever and am so grateful to each and every one for the role they play in my life. I think I have my childcare lined up in case I get a baby for foster care. Lila will do Monday and Tuesday, Sue I think is Wednesday, and then hopefully Virginia on Thursday and Friday. I will have my friend Christine as a back-up and Sue's mom Christine as a back-up as well. This is a bit of a change from the original "line-up" because Sue's day off changed and Lila and Virginia live very close by. I am lucky to have several back-ups if needed. Like I said, my friends are awesome!
I decided that starting tomorrow, I will not drink soda anymore! I am filling up tonight and then tomorrow I will start drinking only water and of course my morning coffee. I do enjoy my coffee. :) I am going to give myself one more week and then will start my marathon training program. I keep going back and forth as to whether I will run in the half-marathon with my friend Terri on March 23rd or just be a spectator. Looking at the schedule, I should be ready. I don't know why I am being such a wimp; I should just do it! I will keep you all posted.
I also started conversing with someone from one of the online dating sites but it's really not my main focus right now. I'm really trying to get things in order for foster care. There are so many little things that need to be done, but all the little things add up. Then I have days like today and yesterday where I have just been a bum! Sort of. I have the ability to procrastinate so easily and then don't get the things done that I need to get done. Ugh! I know I will get there but I end up putting so much pressure on myself because I wait until the last minute!
One thing I did do this weekend was go over to my niece's house so that the girls (Gabby and Taylor) could pick out the Valentines they wanted to make for school and we set a date to make them. The girls chose ones with bubbles and Hershey Kisses with a header that says "Blowing you Kisses on Valentines Day." How cute is that? After we make them I will post pictures. I'm so excited to make them with the girls. I also printed and cut out all of the headers so they're actually ready ahead of time. For Taylor's teachers she is going to make S'mores in a bag with a header that says "We Need S'More Teachers Like You." Gabby is going to make brownies with a tag that says "Shooting for Brownie Points." Cute, right? All of these ideas came from Pinterest. That's my new addiction and another way for me to procrastinate. ;)
OK, that's all for now. Even though I have skipped some blogging days, I'm getting better at writing more frequently. I'm feeling good overall and positive about things in my life. I just need to get things done! I will do it! :)
One more thing, I'm going to post my training schedule for the next two weeks. I say two weeks because I plan to follow the "Week 1" phase of training for two weeks in a row instead of starting full force.
Here it is:
M - Rest
T- 3 Miles
W - 3 Miles
Th- 3 Miles
F- Rest
Sat - 6 Miles
Sun - Cross
I will actually be doing cross-training on Monday though and maybe Sunday as well but that is the schedule for Novice 1 according to Hal Higdon. Now I just need to see if Terri is free at least one day so I can train with her. :)
