Thursday...

Thursday is my day for Weight Watchers and the gym. I have been doing WW for 2 years and have lost 40 pounds so far I need to lose 25 more then I will be happy with my weight. I need to be at or close to my healthy weight range for my ankle. It can't handle excess weight. So, I have been doing WW for 2 years and during that time I had 2 surgeries on my ankle and non-weight bearing for 3 months. That did not help the weight loss. Oh well, I am back on the losing track!!!!

New Piano Books

My NEW piano books came today!!!!! I am so glad my friend recommended "I Use to Play Piano" Series!!! I LOVE them!!!! I actually remember more than I thought I did. Maybe one day I will play in public.....maybe.
I have to say that I go upstairs more now. See, that's where my piano is. I wish it was downstairs but the house we are living in has a very bad floor plan. We have tried to make the most of it for now anyways.
I really do enjoy playing the piano. I am so glad I got over my mental block of playing. Well, it's more involved than just a simple mental block but I am not ready to go into that right now. I.B. is even impressed that have started playing again. :)

Tuesday...

Today I went to the gym to workout with my trainer. I actually got there early enough to do my cardio-workout first. I enjoyed that more because I was warmed up for my workout with the weights. I was whole lot more sweaty but that was OK. It's amazing to see the results of consistent exercising. I really enjoy the escape!
I would like to try to do another 5K walk and maybe even work up to a Half Marathon walk. I don't know if my ankle will let me be BUT I want to try!!!! :D

Thoughts...

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Thinking about deep stuff like what do I want out of life and how am I supposed to find the answer. I have been doing a lot of... I don't know what. I feel as though I am blocked on this issue. I believe that meditation might help but how do I meditate????? My sister & her hubby totally believes in The Transcendental Meditation Technique. I have looked into it and we have a place near by to learn it at BUT the cost!!!!!! It is expensive!!!! I am trying to convince my hubby to us learning it together. He has checked it out too but it's the cost that gets him too! :(
I just know that I want to live a HAPPY life. I just need help figuring out how to get on that path.

I'm so Tired...

I am so tired today. I went to the gym & rode the bike for 40 minutes. When I got home, Chloe wanted to get her science fair board done. So, we worked on that ALL DAY!!!!!
Trixie is worn out too. She is laying beside me asleep with the tip of her tongue sticking out of her mouth. And she is snoring!!!
I need to go upstairs and practice the piano. That's part of my goals for this new year..I am going to improve my piano playing skills. I bought my own copy of Hanon "Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises". I've been told those are very boring to play but I am finding them fun and challenging. I guess I am enjoying them now because I never had to practice them in all my 10 years of lessons as a child. When I think back to those lessons, I can't see what I learned. I think it was all spent learning hymns and pop music of the late 70 & 80's. I have found a cool website that I can download on my iPad or print off sheet music. That is cool because I can view the sheet music on my iPad and not have to print them off. :) I have ordered me some new piano books and they should be here in a few days.
Well, I must go and practice. More tomorrow!

Hello 2011

I have figured out how to post here using my iPad. I hope that this will make it easier for me to post more regularly during 2011. I enjoy writing about my crazy life. Sometimes I actually sound funny. So my goal is to post once a day this whole year. Let's hope I can do it!
