I love the fall. I love school supplies. I love the leaves changing colors. There are three of the most beautiful trees I have ever seen right near my house. I love the thought of the HEAT going away. I love getting together to watch football games (although I rarely watch any of the game)...I love MARCHING BAND! I love the way the sky looks in the morning and in the evening...
Makes me happy.
Loving the Fall
If you want to make a change...you have to make a change.
Sounds cliche' I know...but I'm serious.
I'm back on my Body for Life program. I joined a gym back in April? But it was still under construction so I have just been waiting for it to open. Well last week it opened. We had some drama here at my house with my daughter which kindof twarted my plans of starting the gym. I have always enjoyed group fitness.
So anyway, I've been wanting to start getting up earlier to go to the 5:30 AM classes and tomorrow I am going to do it. This is a HUGE deal for me. I've stayed up late since -- well -- as long as I can remember. I just enjoy the quiet, the dark. I'm going to miss staying up late -- and maybe one day, I'll get to do it again. Or maybe I'll let myself stay up late on Saturdays as a reward. I just know that "To make a change, I'm going to have to change."
So wish me luck!
PS I didn't come up with this on my own...
Holy toledo - I ran a mile.
I am so EXCITED! I ran a mile today - ON THE STREET. I know this may sound silly, but running and jumping are the last hurdles from my leg and ankle break a year and a half ago. I'm so pumped. I've been running 3+ miles on the x-trainer for about a year, but its not the same. The impact, the heat, the ROAD -- make a huge difference. My leg and ankle (and plate and 6 screws!) held up nicely.
Now if I could do a decent jumping jack....
The long screw is gone, but the rest is still there.

QotD: Protecting America from another financial catastrophe
What can the government do to protect America from another financial catastrophe?
Sponsored by Allstate. Learn more at allstate.com/fedreg.
Force all of the white collar criminals to work for minimum wage, call center job. (Instead of letting them free-load in white collar crime jail.) Give companies tax credits and perks for moving jobs BACK TO THE UNITED STATES. Put heavier taxes on those who outsource to foreign companies.
Do I sound socialist?
STOP THE JOB EXPORT!
I am sure there is no one sure solution to stopping another financial catastrophe, but it makes me SICK how careless some of these CEOs and people of LEADERSHIP used OUR MONEY carelessely with no consequence. No wonder people don't want to invest. Here's my money -- just throw it away for me please? No thank you.
