Another week

Man this year is already crankin on by. I'm getting ready for spirit week for week one of October. Very busy with grad class work both for my curriculum course as well as my action research. Looks like my lit review is taking a hit right now until it settles a bit.

I also had my second rehab gym. It went well, stretches appear to be helping. Added a couple more along with core stability exercises. Think Deep abdominal muscle building. Lots of squats, leg presses and yoga like balancing stretch outs with alternating arm and leg while kneeling while crunching the gut. Yikes.... it's a process. Good news is that because I am so awesome I get to go two weeks before returning.

I did find my true goal though. You can see it in this highly motivational video. Paula I am sure you will appreciate this.

On a more serious note we are going to have a motivational speaker come to school next week who looks pretty good. Here's a sample;

Excited!?!?

Well I'm a bit excited and nervous. Today I visit the Rehab Gym to meet with my physical therapist Matt. I assume today is going to be all about finding out what kind of a mess I have created in my body. This is the bad news and I have to say I'm nervous about this. However on the bright side, it will be the first time I have a professional who will evaluate me and make specific instructions for the correct way to train and start feeling better. This primarily stems from the fall I took on the deck stairs this past winter as my back is still not even close to "normal".

In terms of my progress on getting in shape I did exactly what I said I wouldn't. I was doing great until school started then I tapered off tremendously. I guess this is the jump start kick for the school year I will need. (although it will be really hard this week since I have my next grad class starting)

On a different note, Beth is frantically checking her calender as she is taking classes Tues and Thursday nights all semester. Of course Friday when i got the mail she recieved a Jury Duty Summons for the Vermont Superior Court. We still aren't quite sure how this will play out. We certainly believe in doing our civic duty, and her teachers are required to be accomodating by law, however when reality hits, we are afraid that it might hurt her academically if she misses time from her classes. I think we would make a push to have the timing moved back, however she will be taking classes for the next couple of years. hmmm. we'll see how it goes.

WOW!!!!

just WOW!!!
