Good Morning! Thank you for all the feedback from yesterday's post. I love getting feedback. When I started(re started) this blog, I was not sure what my intentions were. Mainly, I think, it was to journal on a regular basis. I have always heard this was good for mental health, but I have never been a regular journal writer. I do not consider myself a writer, but I am enjoying writing and sharing a few pieces of my life on a regular basis. So, when I receive feedback, I am very appreciative, especially when someone can relate to something going on in my life. So, I encourage those who are thinking about blogging, to go ahead and do it. It really is fun and good for the mental health.
Speaking of mental health, son's high school released their 2014-15 events for the upcoming school year. As you know already, my oldest(by birth) is graduating this year. On the calendar were the kick off pep rally(his last), Senior Ring Mass(a lovely ceremony where the moms only attend and the boys receive their class ring), Christmas Break, and of course Graduation. May 22nd. Oh boy. That was hard to see. I am excited and sad to see my oldest move on to his college years, but wow....that is my baby. This year will be full of more college visits, more ACT and SAT tests, applications, and getting him prepared to go off to college. I went to the University of Arkansas Little Rock, which was right across the street, so I lived at home and did not have the "true college experience" that I would like to give my kids. Luckily, hubby did and so did a number of my friends, so we are all navigating the waters together. I have been doing college research since his freshman year(I told you I was organized), so now we just have to make a few more visits just to be sure and then make the final decision. The important thing I have learned, is research is key. Looking into what is required for acceptance and of course, the much needed scholarship. So far we are good on that end, but there are a few out of state schools that he would like to consider, but we need a few more ACT points to get there. I feel confident he will get there, but if not, there is always a Plan B. Always have a Plan B as well as a C, D, and F. You never know what life is going to throw at you.
My water drinking is going great! I now consider it a part of my daily routine instead of having to remind myself. I have also started doing some additional at home training. I banged up my knee, so my squats are on hold for a bit, but I added some more arm and back training so I can get my sculpted back to where it was. When I cleaned out our basement/storage area I found a ton(and I mean ton) of hand weights, so why not put them to good use. I discovered I have a bit of arm flab. What the heck? I have never had arm flab before. Being a mid 40's female is kind of rough on the physical aspect of the body. I am hoping to fit in going to the gym. I love going to work out. I know, it's crazy, but I feel so awesome after a good workout. All the glistening(I do not sweat), means I have achieved my workout goals. I have a free membership to the UALR gym as a paid alumni, so I need to start using it. I wish I was an early morning workout person, but alas, I am not and never will be. So after work it will be. What do you do for exercise? Remember, 30 minutes a day is ideal. Make sure you are moving, people!
Someone has turned the heater off in Arkansas. The high today is only going to be 82 degrees and the rest of the week in the 70's and 80's! What the heck??? I should be frying an egg on the street. I want my 100 degrees and to glisten when I walk outside. I do not live in the north, my July should not be 80!!!! But, I know I am in the minority with this one, but I need my heat!!!! So, Arkansans, enjoy your respite weather. I am praying for my 100 degrees to come back.
Hugs!
