Burr it's cold outside...

Jeez it's been cold here the past few days. Might snow tomorrow, and then Sunday night there is a windy storm coming into Oregon. I hear the winds here might be 75mph. Better buckle down.

I went swimming 2 times this week. I had Thursday and Friday off, so I went those 2 mornings at 8am. My water aerobics teacher went to a class herself a few weeks back and has learned some new fun things. I was thinking that the pool was getting to easy and feeling like the same Ol same Ol each class. But then she went to that class and is now pushing us even harder. Reminding us to think about our posture and alignment. She has added jumping out of the water in intervals to our routine. Today we balanced on our weights and played catch in the water with a ball. You had to stay balanced on your weights that were under your legs and jump and throw the ball while staying balanced. Was hard to stay balanced without falling off your weights and you could only use your arms to get to the ball or keep it from someone. It was fun and you didn't think of it as exercise or boring at all. Different and fun, and I do notice that my arms today are feeling it already.

18 more pounds till I will be at 169. I had to set some sort of goal to reach. I thought that one was reachable 9 months ago, so I set that goal in Feb. 2007. No time limit, just sounded like a healthy weight for me with a height of 5'7. And I believe it is reachable, and I'll make a new one from that point. That's just my first goal.

Our son is turning 14 this weekend. We will be having a house full of BOYS this weekend. Lord help me... They will all be home in about 3 hours. There planning staying up all night, games, blockbuster, movies, pizza, popcorn, going to see a movie tomorrow (sat.), candy, and on Sat. watching the civil war football game that is on here in Oregon. The civil war game is between the Ducks (University of Oregon) and the Beavers (Oregon State University). Big deal here in Oregon. GO BEAVERS! Everybody is either wearing orange or green in this state this weekend, it's everywhere. So please wish me luck with a house full of boys all weekend. Think I'll be hiding in my room. LOL :)
