My biggest accomplishment, so far, is exercising almost daily. I've been going on long walks and to the gym since I got back from Disney, and so far I have lost half an inch from my hips (where my body likes to store fat) and an inch from my waist. Yes, obviously my body likes to hold onto more down below than up above, which I read is good, b/c I'm at less risk for heart disease, although I think genetics are at play against me on that. So, yay! I'm feeling better now. My only worry is keeping this up once I go back to work. At least the gym is on the way home from my school. And now that I have gotten rid of the cursed grade level chair position that I had, I am hoping to have more time to actually focus on my students, and on me.
Oh, we also bought a surfboard. :) We were planning on going out to the ocean today, but there's still a rip current warning in effect because of tropical storm Bertha, and yesterday a guy died in the bay, not even the ocean, from the rip current. So I think I'm going to play it safe and wait until things calm down. Sure, there are bigger swells, but the water is really rough right now.
So initially I thought we'd buy a house this summer, but given the fact that B's company laid off 5 employees, and with the whole bank debacle that is happening, I'm perfectly happy to be on our month to month lease, live 8 mins from the bay, and keep saving $, in the event that B should lose his job, which I don't think will happen. He has too much on his plate, and they don't usually give more work to those who they are considering giving the axe. Still, I'd rather be poised to move into something we can afford when things start to turn around, rather than buy when things are on the decline.
