I have been having a terrible time sleeping lately. My husband and I were thinking of getting a memory foam mattress in the hopes that it would make our bed a bit more comfortable. However, those are terribly expensive. It would cost something like $300 to get one to fit our bed. Maybe we'll be able to afford it one day. Until then, we try to get as much quality sleep as possible. Not an easy feat.
A different type of weight loss
While I was fixated on weight loss stuff (no, I don't have ADHD), I came across this hcg Austin website. It's an interesting concept. Instead of ramming pills down your throat, they do hormone shots. Of course, I wonder what the side effects are. You can't screw around with hormones and not expect some fairly drastic changes. This is stuff used in fertility treatments; it's not really meant for weight loss. So are more women getting pregnant from it? Are there more mood swings with the extra hormones? I wonder if it would really be worth a try. Well, not me. I don't want to shoot up hormones. But I'd like to talk to someone who has already made up their mind to try it.
Gotta get back on track
My diet has flown out the window this weekend. My husband's birthday was on Friday so I took the day off from work. I proceeded to spend the next three days eating as much junk food as possible. Though, to be honest, we did have some awesome spinach salads for lunch on Friday. But then we bought a dozen cream-filled donuts and we had BLTs for lunch on Sunday. That doesn't even count the rest of the awful food I ate. Now I have to get back on track. On one of our grocery store visits, I mistakenly wandered through the 'diet aisle' and wondered - does 7 day slimming cause side effects? I've had friends do the cleanse thing but I'm not sure how good it is for you. I know those diet pills tend to contain a ton of caffeine and, while I am a bit of a caffeine fiend, I don't want to do that to my body. I wish there was a faster way to shed some pounds.
Yoga
It's pretty amazing that I teach group fitness classes. I've never really been a sporty type of person. The only sport I ever excelled at was horseback riding. But here I am teaching Zumba® and Hip Hop Hustle™. I like both of them because they are a total blast. I've thought about trying yoga but it seems so boring. Though I think I want one of these yoga zafu pillows to snuggle with at home. My office manager has recently tried the hot yoga thing. While I enjoy heat and hot weather, I don't think that will work for me. When I have to do my classes in the heat, it's a killer. Trying to do yoga in even hotter temperatures sounds awful.
Have any of you done yoga? Is it as boring as it sounds?
The next jdrama
I start watching Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake today. It's from the late 90s so I'm not expecting a lot from it. Most likely it will be super sad and the graphics will be 'meh' at best. But it has Fukada Kyoko and I adore her. There are 12 episodes in the series, meaning it will take me quite awhile to finish it. I'll try to squeeze in a few episodes at home to make it go faster. Sorry!
March Madness
The first half of the month of March is always difficult for me. My daughter's birthday is today and my husband's birthday is on the 16th. Of course, I have to fit the kid's birthday party in there, as well as figuring out something nice to do for my husband. This year, however, my husband's best friend decided to have his wedding in March as well. As a result, the first half of this month will pretty much be a write-off. Currently, my first free weekend is the 17th but that is the weekend of my husband's birthday. It feels like I will never have free time again!
Soon!
I apologize for the lack of posting over the past week. I have had a terrible cold, which is making it difficult for me to do anything. However, I am almost finished Paradise Kiss. The review should be up before the end of the week. And since I am on the mend, I hope to have a few more posts to push out this week as well. Wish me luck!
Doomed!
I should surrender my Geek Badge. I haven't actually done anything geeky in quite a long time. No jdramas, no video games, nothing. I suppose I could talk about the television shows I've been watching but it's been stuff like the first two seasons of Cake Boss. Netflix is my crack. All of the horrible shows I never wanted to watch in the first place are right there at the tips of my fingers. And I am a curious cat. And we all know what happened to the curious cat. I am doomed.
And just to plug myself a little here: I have started a new blog where I talk about all my funky mental junk. Insecure Psyche. I hope you like it.
Ow
As I was attempting to keep my dogs from running out the front door, I smacked my knee on the doorjamb and bruised it pretty badly. I'm OK when I'm just sitting or standing but bending my knee hurts a lot. I wish I had one of those chair lifts that use new jersey electricity so I didn't have to walk up the stairs. That part is the absolute worst. Well, that and trying to step in or out of the bathtub. But I only shower once a day. I have to walk up and down the stairs multiple times. At least it's only a bruise. I should be all better in a few days. Hopefully.
Almost over
Only a few more hours left of this work week. Unfortunately, we found out today that our boss is coming back from his vacation a week earlier than his calendar says. Today has been pretty harsh on my nerves. I'm almost ready to really research small business loans bad credit (though I don't think my credit is 'bad' anymore...I think it's been upgraded to 'fair' or 'good') so I can start my own fitness studio. I'm tired of working for someone else. I want to branch out and be my own boss. I'd also like to do something I enjoy doing, considering right now I hate what I do. I wish...
I wish...
