The New Year



Its all over baby! And so is the week+ of vacation which has been just what the doctor ordered - going back to work tomorrow is going to require pain meds or something. We went over to Ontario for the holiday to spend some time with Bill's family and we took the Wii along for a little extra fun. Little did we know how much fun - our Wii hadn't seen as much continuous play since we got it on that chilly November morning not so long ago. His mom turned out to be a huge fan of Wii Sports Bowling - and the quest for the Pro status and the new shiny ball was on everyone's agenda. When we weren't playing, we were looking for a Wii console for the family (or an extra nunchuck for ourselves). We got real close to finding a system, twice, but neither time was successful. Nor did we find any nunchucks, but we did score two classic controllers.

Alas its time for resolutions to start out the new year with high ambitions only to see most of them fail miserably. Ok, so I'm not a fan of the resolutions bit that people do every year at this time, but I have a few goals to keep in mind this year. First of all, getting through grad school this year with high marks - so far so good, but the tough classes are coming up soon. We have finally signed back up at a gym after a hiatus longer than I care to admit. Not the best timing to go back with all the resolution gym visits that will be taking place, but we're going back anyway and that is important. And the oddball goal - oddball for me perhaps - is to atleast try kayaking. I don't have any particular reason, but it looks fun and should do something outside.

Resolutions are lame. I agree with that.

But going to the gym is not.

I increased my regular attendance at my gym in the last month. I even started "running" (on those ellyptical things; easier on the knees), and just yesterday increased my time from 30 to 45 minutes. Now it finally feels like a workout!

I am not looking forward to the new year onslaught of gym-wannabees. They just fill the place up with people who don't really care, and likely won't be back again after Valentine's Day. As long as they continue to pay their memberships...we're well on our way to expansion!
