Wow…

There are so many changes around here!
Well… it’s that time of year again. No, not the holidays. The cold… the dark… the down and out.
My husband went to the Y yesterday and re-activated my membership for… get this… FREE. Yeah, apparently Active duty soldiers and their spouses can use the YMCA for free now. I am not sure if that is nation-wide, state-wide, or just here in my little town. (That’s doubtful since this is NOT a military town.) But isn’t that the coolest thing!?
I haven’t been yet. I was in the office at 6am this morning. Tomorrow is my first day of the holiday season and you better believe I’m going to be resting. Well, I’m not really… but I’m not going to be working out, either. I have 3 photoshoots scheduled during my trip home as well as 3 recipes I am responsible for on Thursday… so it seems like I won’t be resting too much!
But when I get back Monday morning I plan on making the Y a regular morning activity. I have missed activity. I have been down and out lately… glum… blah… bleh.
And… completely stressed. There’s just too much on my plate. Work, photography, marriage adjustment, social life, homesickness, stress, stress, stress!
Plus, I think my heart/lungs are in bad shape. I plan on getting to the Dr. a.s.a.p. (we’re in the middle of an insurance swap due to husband’s job switch). I have had trouble breathing (getting deep breaths) and at times getting slightly dizzy because of it. I will be careful during any exercise routine and listen to my body, but I just know I need some activity.
All that aside, Smithfield is next March and I plan on being there and improving my time from last year (significantly!)….!
I’ll be back next Monday to let you know how it goes! (How’s that accountability for ya… man I love this site!)
