The End

The End...of what you might ask? I only refer to the end of my mostly wonderful Christmas holiday. I have slept in, opened presents, eaten, seen a few movies, started working for Taxhawk, and the list could continue a little further. I am not looking forward to getting up at 515 to go to the fitness center again. Mid morning was wonderful. Nathan and I went tonight and it was relatively empty, unlike it is on a weekday mornings. In the beginning I had lost at most 1.3 pounds. I weighed today and was up 2.7 pounds from the time I started. I am hoping it was muscle weight. I have been at this activity for over a month now. If I have to miss doing a workout and I know it, I try to bypass the walking and lift weights instead. I can't say if I have built any muscle, but I hope so. I should have been concerned about my weight about 14 years ago. I am a "little" slow. I am not so much exercising to loose weight. I am doing it just get into better shape, but I do need to track the weight. I weigh in twice a week. Tuesday and Friday mornings.
I am a excited to get school into full swing again. I do not have a clue as to what I will do the first week we are back. I'll worry about that on Monday. I am excited to get my class started on the annual chess tournament. The student that won the tournament last year also won it in when he was my student in third grade. It is an activity I do in the cold months of the year. I hope it helps break up the monotany of winter.
Living close to the school where I teach it is always fun to see who is at the school when I drive by at different times when school is out. There are a few of the faculty that are at the school constantly. Unlike me who show up on rare occasions.
Happy New Year to all!!!!!
