is boredom bad?

Wow, no post in a month. That is a bold and honest statement about the level of excitement in my life. That is OK though because sometime excitement is unwanted and I certainly am OK with low key and boring.

Fitness and health. I am doing a fitness challenge at work and a partner fitness challenge at the place I work out at. With all of these fitness challenge commitments, one would think I would be ripped with amazing strength, speed and endurance. Nope, not at all. I still am the last of the pack with any kind of running, and my form of "cement shoe steps" has wreaked havoc on my knees. I still sweat like a hooker in church for the entire duration of boot camps, and I still look frumpy in my fat lady clothes. BUT, I am regularly attending boot camp and have walked a couple of mornings with other chics in my neighborhood. I haven't gotten on a scale because I don't want to know the number. However, for the partner challenge this week, we have to run a 1/2 mile carrying a backpack that contains 15% of our current body weight. Can't freakin' wait for that. . . . nothing like cement shoeing it for a 1/2 mile while supporting the weight of a grown child on my back. Damn, sounds like so much fun I can hardly wait. It is a good thing that a fire station is a mere 4 blocks from the gym. They should be able to resuscitate me before I have lost too much oxygen to my brain and caused permanent damage.

Food remains my enemy, although I have been doing a bit better recently. I have a constant craving for cookie dough, so I am certain that I am lacking some essential nutrient in my body. I've never really been a sweets kind of girl, so this is especially odd for me. So far I have fought the urge, but I don't know how long it will last before me and a bowl of oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough have a come to Jesus meeting, or at least a come to my mouth meeting.

I tried to change the background on my blog. don't know what he hell I am doing and that is why it looks all messed up. I don't care to mess with it anymore, so it will just stay like it is.

So, not much excitement, not much change, just a whole lot of keep on keepin' on. . . . . .
