A Goal Reached

So, I am not usually one to make goals. Partly cause if you don't reach them, it's kind of like you failed, and who likes to do that? Or, you may even forget about them. A lot of people think setting goals is a good thing though. Gives you something to shoot for. So for whatever reason, when we got our membership to the Y, I decided to set a weight loss goal. I am happy to say that after 9 1/2 long months I finally met my goal. It's cool, kind of strange too! Like, what now? Do I have to set another one? The first one took so long to reach! We'll see. The Y in Eagan is doing a fun thing. You have to weigh in before Nov. 26th, and then they will reweigh you after the New Year. If you have maintained or lost weight during the Holiday's you will get a free T shirt! I may decide to do this. It's hard though cause some of the foods you eat during this time are only things you get once a year! This could be a good thing though, helping me to intake all these yummy foods in moderation! We'll see how it goes!

Kind of Crazy

I went to work out at the YMCA in Eagan this morning, and I saw an interesting person there! I was on an elliptical, and all of a sudden I see Tim Pawlenty(the governor of MN) walk by to use some of the weight machines! I wasn't sure if it was him at first, but someone else looked at me to see if I saw the same thing too! So then I was curious if people would go up to him or not, but I only saw one person do that. So I just continued my work out, and towards the end he ended up on a weight machine next to me, so I just said, "are you Tim Pawlenty?" And he said yes, so I shook his hand. It was quite the crazy experience!

kick boxing

Bill and I have been doing a cardio kick boxing class every Monday night. It's been fun. It's getting easier to do some of the moves, but the class as a whole always is tough. Thinking about it though, if the class as a whole was getting easier, it probably wouldn't be as beneficial. Just my random thought for the day!
