Day 28 - Recap

I haven't logged in for quite a few days so here's a recap. Last weekend was very nice. My brother in law threw a BBQ, on Saturday, and it was so nice to sit outside. We started late enough so that all of the crazy thunder and lightening blew through and the sun came out. It was nice to see all of the family and the steak and hot dogs were awesome.

Sunday, I went and picked up Laura and we were off to the pool. All of the chairs were packed so we threw our towels out on a grassy hill and basked in the sun until we were hot enough to to jump in the pool. Instead, I walked my way down the steps into the 3ft area and walked until it was up to my waist. I had to dive under soon it was so cold. Jumping in is always best; first the cold slap of the water then you adjust rather quickly as your head breaks the surface of the water. Ah the pool.

I can't remember Monday, but Tuesday was great. I had pilates in the morning and was psyched that I was strong enough to have the tension on the springs tightened. For those of you who may wonder I work out on an Allegro Tower. At the end Veronica added on some mat work that made me want to collapse and throw up at once . . . but in a good way. In order to stave off sore muscles I went directly to the pool and just lounged on my back and soaked for twenty minutes.

After the pool I come home to clean myself up and head out to Prospect Park to watch, and videotape, my sister's softball game. The park was wonderful. I sat under a tree of the first base line and started devouring my new book, Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. It's the fourth, and last book, of a series of young adult, vampire, romance novel. I read the first three in three days then had to wait five days until the final novel came out. My fifteen year old niece is also reading it. We squealed about it during the BBQ.

Today I had acupuncture in the morning and a haircut in the afternoon. Michael calls it short, but it's medium length and kind of like Jennifer Aniston's "Rachael" haircut on Friends and I like it. Michael hates it. I don't know what it is - guy's dislike for short hair on girls.

Anyhoo, as you can tell I've been a lot more active these past couple of days. A month ago I was walking a half hour and feeling beat up. Now I find myself fidgeting, itching to get up and move - to do something! I love it. I can't wait for that crappy disc to shrink away cause boy oh boy am I paying for sitting too much. I can tell I might start to go a little crazy if my body can't move as much as I want it to. But I'll take that crazy over pain and fear crazy any day.
