third time's a charm

so the past 3 weeks i've tried to get in to richard's cycle class at my gym.  i've taken it before and understand why it's so popular (difficult with great music), but man.  i've been wait listed the past two weeks.  last week i literally went in saw there were two people ahead of my possible spot on the wait list and turned around and left to go run outside.

i don't understand where everyone came from all the sudden.  i guess they're trying to get in summer shape?  does everyone gain 5 lbs in the winter or just me?  i call it the winter 5.  i even still go to the gym everyday, but besides that in the winter my activity is very low.  i don't like the cold.  so i don't want to be in it.  but in the spring and summer, i'll go for walks.  i ride my bike.  i run outside, which is harder than inside.

i've had my fair share of bike hurting in the last couple days so maybe i should have taken the day off, but inside it's so much easier.  saturday as i was riding to work i got a flat.  ugh.  so not only did that make the rest of my trip to work and all the way home much harder, i got an unexpected extra workout and i pulled a muscle in my right butt and made my left knee sore.  my knee still hurts...

but all this aside.  today i got into richard's spin class!  i woke up 15 minutes earlier.  what can i say... i was determined!

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
