slowish

It's overcast today. Not my favorite. The weather needs to make up its mind. I like either sunny or rain, nothing in between.

I guess I did get some things done in the last few weeks. I finished summer session at SJSU and just got my grades. C+, A-, A. Somehow that pulled by GPA above a 3.0. I honestly don't remember the last time my GPA was higher then that. So I'm pretty happy about it. I got all my classes for Fall. My Monday and Wedesdays are going to be redicuously long. I'm taking 18 units. 5 classes on MW and 1 on Thursday night. I should do ok. I'm still taking classes in DeAnza right now at night. Just a couple of PE classes, but I am learning a lot of things. I'm getting pretty flexible from my 4 days of stretching and yoga.

I've been pretty slacking on my cardio of late. For the few times I actually went on a run I did notice I can run for a little longer. So my plan now is to build up my endurance. I can run for 40 min non-stop right now. I need to be able to do that for every run and start building up on my time. As soon as I can do a 60 min run, I can start building up my speed. The prospect of running a half marathon in October seems possible. I just need to get off my lazy butt and go run. I implemented my food cut off time at 9, and it seems to work well. I like that. I get pretty hungry if I don't sleep by 11, that makes me want to get up and eat breakfast. It seems to work, it looks like I lost another pound. I guess I just need to keep that up.

I stayed up 2 nights ago and polished off the last Harry Potter book. Yeah. I did. I went to sleep at 6 PM. It was very good. That's all I can say about that ^_^

I might not get around to watch The Simpsons this weekend, but I did get around to go to the local Kwik-E-Mart.
mmm.... donut.....

something like a vacation

Aaahhh... summer vacation. I haven't had one of those since mmm... last year... haha. I vegged out yesterday. Did absolutely nothing. That felt ok at the time... but it's pretty crappy not doing anything. Anyway... try to change that today. I got a few things done already, so that's a good sign. Remember those shamrocks I was growing back in like Feb? Well i threw the rest of the seeds into the pot on the patio and they grew into some of the largest plants I've ever seen. Couple of days ago I transplanted them into a pot and they're sitting on my desk now. It looks pretty good to me. Anyway... back to work...

Parenting

I started writing a reply to Carrie's post and it ended up in a whole page blog... so I might as well...

*****************************************************************************************************************
Interesting.... I almost ran a little girl over the other day by my house because she was throwing a fit and ran across the street. Today my parents and I were in Costco and two kids were sitting smack in the middle of an isle. My dad had boxes piled high and couldn't see too far down. I had to pull the cart to avoid those kids. My mom was with me in both times... and she commented on how I'm like my uncle (her older brother) that I mumble something like I want to run them over.

I totally agree with you that good behaviors are brought on with good parenting. I can brag about how I am the favorite for my grandparents because I was the most well mannered out of a dozen cousins. I never threw fits, do as my parents told me, and said thank yous. That behavior came from values taught by my parents. I might find my mom hovering sometimes, but I think I turned out ok. I guess for me, what worked was that my parents let me know they cared.

VW Polo

last week of class.... a bit of a break after? maybe....

changes

- no food 2 hours before bed... which means now I have a bed time
- bed time is 11, food cut off time is 9... tea is ok
- alarm at 6 every morning.... well it's a good thing to get up also... lol
- drink at least 32 oz. of water per day... more if able
- no more sodas, i had about 1/3 of a bottle of Coke Zero yesterday... I don't think I like soda anymore
- take supplements - 1 multi, 1 omega 3, 1 vitamin C
- I have yoga twice a week, plus I have to practice at home at least once a week, so that makes Yoga 3 times a week for the next 5 weeks
- I need to do cardio at least 3 times a week. That includes my spin class every monday night and two runs. Each run has to be at least 3 miles and 40 minutes.
- have a salad a day... on most of the days

I think that's all I have for now.... will add on to it later

4th Of July!

well ok, in a

**edit**
blogger is freaking out on me.... most of this post is gone? *boggled*

lazy

So.... I had most of my day off today. Had to run off to the bank this morning, and just milled around most of the day. Did a little bit of shopping, and planted my tomatoes. Yeah I finally did it. We'll see how well it will grow. Now I'm just waiting for class. I have yoga at 6. I think I'll go run a bit after that. That is all. It's warm too. yeah... fun times...

tired

I have an interesting week ahead. A lot of stuff happened this week too. I can't remember half of it. I watched a couple of movies, bought some stuff. Worked. Now I'm just tired. I should sleep. I think.
