Slow but steady...

I am not in my regular habbit of posting, but I will get there. Have been busy at work, but am attempting to keep working out. I ran 3 miles and swam 1/2 hour yesterday. Only an hour, but better than nothing. Today I have lunch time meetings, so I will try to squeeze in a workout before lunch. I am trying to get up for Spinning class at my new gym, but I have to be there by 5:45 and that is the problem. I have to get up by 5-5:15 to get all the dog stuff done in time. I will try again Friday morning.
Now, outside of workout and eating; I have arranged for sewing classes for alterations. Its just a teacher and me (a local woman I met at the quilt store and I talked her into giving me lessons). She currently works for a drama department for a school and makes all the costumes. She is going to teach me patterns for skirts, shirts, etc and putting in a zipper. Should be interesting. We start tonight for 2 hours.
tootaloo!

small workout, but a start

I'm back to work today, first time in 2 weeks for me to be onsite at Pfizer. I admit, since my boss in in NYC and my clients are in St Louis, it makes it harder to come into the office. I can work from home when necessary; however, it just seems more 'necessary' now that I can:) I went to the gym, but didn't have much time, so I ran 1.5 miles and did the pilates class for 45 min. Talked some of the trainers into starting a competition at Pfizer similar to biggest loser. I haven't ever watched that show, but tonight starts a new season and all my friends love that show; so, I'm a follower, so I'm following and starting the new season at least watching. We'll see if the diets and workout rub off on me:)

Stil waiting for German Shepherd Rescue to do my home visit and approve me as a foster. We'll see. In the meantime, I put up an outdoor 12x12 kennel and Levi figured out how to get out already, he broke the wire twisties that hold the chain link onto the bottom pole. He is quite a dog. Can't hold him. At least he doesn't run away, he just doesn't want to be in the pen:)

New Years Resolution

budget, budget, budget. its going to be all about the budget. I am back to work, back online and hopefully spending less. I could spend more time working out and walking the dogs and less time shopping...hehe...yep, that is going to be me. Not like I shop that much, but no shopping would work best. I joined a new gym today, I'm so excited. I'm moving away from the pool I used to swim in to a closer and much nicer facility. This one has spin class too, so I can't wait! I can't workout until I get my doctor approval (yes, once you see a cardiologist, you need the sign off to join any gyms). I tested the pool out at the gym today with a guest pass and loved it. No coach, but only 5 min from my house instead of 1/2 hour. Well worth it. watched Oprah today...she is back on the wagon and I think I should join her! here's hopin'!
