A new look...

I know, I know, it's been a while. Today, I decided that I would put a new look on the blog...let me know what you think. As I said in a previous posting, I have decided to use this blog for my own benefit as well as anyone who wants to join or comment.

I have decided to join a gym.....and it's amazing how many ladies of our age are doing the same thing. The gym is a ladies only gym and just comfortably busy, with lots of ages, shapes and sizes to make the intimidation of a large gym with hard bodies and slim women non-existent. It has all the equipment and I sucked it up and had a session with a personal trainer to get started. It has worked really well....mind you, I'm only 3 sessions in but the only downside that I can see, is that with the music they have blaring out of the speakers, my MP3 player has to be at almost full volume!! However, I get to listen to my classical music station and am finding it quite enjoyable. Hopefully the gym sessions will improve my sleeping habits....which haven't been too good of late.

The Olympics have been keeping me interested...although I just can't allow myself to spend the entire day in front of the TV....as tempting as it might be. So I have done some picking and choosing with my favourite being the figure skating of course. I would dearly love to watch the hockey, but I get so up tight that it's just no fun. So I scoot downstairs and putter and then whenever DH cheers I switch to CTV on my computer and watch for a short time and then go back to whatever I was doing. When the score is to our benefit and nearing the end of the game where in all likelihood they will win, then I come back upstairs and watch the end in order to do the "high five" with DH!!

Well...for now, that's it. I know, it's not overly inspiring...but give me time. I'm finding enjoyment in reading other blogs, some weight loss, some cooking and some just very interesting. It can take up a lot of time ....but it's definitely fun time!!....and besides...don't have I have just all the time in the world???? :-)

Slainte!!
