Week 8

Another week has come and gone. This semester seems to be going by a lot quicker then it was a month ago. Maybe it is just the holidays or something. I got back into exercising this week. I did an exercise video in my apartment. It was a biggest loser exercise dvd. I though, hmmm I can't even remember the last time I did this. However it came quickly back to me as I was doing it that I did not like that movie. Then I had the chance to go to the IWA dance this week. Dancing for two hours with a guy who loves to swing dance can give a girl a really good workout. I had the time of my life, but was so annoyed that I got short winded so easily. I talked with Amy in our class who is working on running a marathon. We talked about our frustrations and how our goals were coming. After listening to her success and such I was disappointed in myself. But then remembered that this is a learning experience and that there is something that can always be improved. The key is to do that, to only get better.

Dinner was delicious this week. It was another family recipie of my roommate, Marral. It was her familys version of mac and cheese. Macaroni noodles, tomato sauce, hamburger, and cheese. The key is to constantly stir, oh and to grade (i wonder if there is a different spelling for this) lots of cheese. Marral joked with me that she would help me but she wasn't going to cause I insisted to do all on my own. So there I was again grating cheese, lots of cheese. However I love being the one in control of the meal. It is like a mini adventure. To take a bunch of ingredients and to make something out of it. I even realized today how much I enjoy the after part. I mean having something substantial to eat is GREAT! Yet it is even better to have roommates around and to eat with them at the dinner table. The same goes for when I have been home with my mom. The best part is sitting down, eating and talking with her.

I guess I need to follow the book good to great. Not be focused on me but be more focused on my goal. I have been doing good but I know I can do better!
