food and exercise

I finally think I've got the what to eat and how to exercise most effectively down. Switching to the "Core" plan I think was a good idea. I don't feel like I'm obsessing about food as much now since I don't have to calculate the points and journal everything I eat. It's a much better system - now that I think I've got it down. As far as exercise goes, I'm going to try to balance cardio with resistance training. I figure going to the Y every other day, doing an hour of resistance training one day, cardio the next. This will give my body time to recooperate after the resistance training while still staying physically active.

Now if I could just get my house in order and on a locked schedule of chores, cleaning and meals I'd be a perfectly happy virgo.

I want to lose 20 more pounds before NOTOCON.

ode to joy

Ariana's first big concert was on Monday. It was a cluster concert with both middle schools and Anoka high school. Anoka's chamber orchestra was amazing. It was really interesting to see (and hear) how much these kids (the 6th graders) have improved over the year. It's also nice to see that she has some natural talent for the violin and has an interest in playing music.

I'm back in black

I've deleted my livejournal account. Tired of all the politics, not really reading it anyways. So I'll be posting my pictures on my Flickr account and my blogging on this one.
