Daily Grind - Exercise

Yesterday we bought a gym membership for our entire family at the County Rec Center. Today I had my first 5:30am workout. It was somewhat Slou's idea for me to workout before work. I have been reluctant to get a membership because I am usually so busy that I can't ever figure out when to work out. I tried doing it at home and even have a bit of equipment. I didn't do too bad last summer. I worked out for 3 weeks. We will see how long I can make this last.

I actually see pretty fast and consistent results when I start to exercise, so motivation is not a factor. It really is about time. I can't exercise between work and students because I don't have time to shower before I teach. By the time I'm done teaching, I am either too tired or it is too late. If I workout too late, I can't sleep. So I have decided to try and go before work.

I hear people say how much more energy they have when they get to work. This morning, it was the strangest feeling. I had energy but at the same time I was tired. I still can't figure that out. Now I just have to work on getting more sleep.

Daily Grind - fun words from Bubs

As Bubs has learned to talk, he has come up with some great words that he didn't mean to say. He loves to ride his tricycle, but had a hard time saying "trike" It always seemed to come out like a swear word that started with "f" and rhymed with "truck". Please don't make me spell it out. Sadly, he is a chatterbox. So he liked to talk about is trike again and again, over and over. We even had to warn the babysitter that he was not swearing, but rather hadn't figured out how to form the word correctly yet.

This weekends newest one is "heleflocter". Well it just started out as "flocter" but then changed. He used to call anything that flied, a plane. We were getting gas at the Costco by the hospital and Lifeflight came in for a landing. So, we went over and saw the helicopter. I had to drive by it several times because he didn't want to stop looking at it. He was convinced that the heliflocter was broken and someone needed to fick it. I think SLou finally convinced him that it wasn't broken, just turned off. The up side is that now he knows the difference between a heleflocter and a plane.
