Assumptions

Do you ever get tired of people making assumptions about you? I know I do. People take one look at me and decide what kind of life they think I lead.

Obviously I 'don't exercise'. Right? a) No one who exercises stays overweight and b) everyone who is thin, exercises. Only problem is, that's wrong. I know plenty of people who take up running thinking they'll lose weight, but they don't. They're always training for a Tough Mudder or a half marathon, or some other event. They do quite well, but they never get thin. I also know plenty of very thin people who hardly move off their behinds.

I fall somewhere in between the Tough Mudder and the couch potato. I am on my feet most of my work day and run up and down the stairs several times a day. I lift weights a couple of times a week, take long walks on mountain trails, and shorter walks close to home. I also like gardening -  and all the digging, raking, hoeing, clipping and sawing that comes with it. For fun I like to skate, swim and play tennis. 

Yeah. I really should start 'exercising'.

Finding Balance

I don't need to tell you I've been pretty scarce around here for the last month or so. Life has just been incredibly busy lately and of course, something had to give.

It'll all balance out in time and I'll be around more often. It's already getting better - good enough for this brief post anyway.

Aside from no time for posting, things have been going well. But that's a whole, long story I'll have to save for another time. Hopefully that won't be as long next time.
