Goin' for the Gold!

Gold's Gym...that is. have been mentioning lately that i'm not too happy with my bod'. my ob told me to get a personal trainer a long time ago (hint, hint - you're too flabby ms. tervet) and now that my jeans and bottoms ALL are too tight on me and i have to un-zip to be comfortable...i made my way to a gym to get serious about my perimenopausal body!!! i'm now 126 lbs, which i haven't been since i was pregnant and my body fat is a hair above normal meaning, its 31%. that made me ill. i'm signing up today and hiring a personal trainer. i will not go to pot in my 40's!!!

thought i knew how to dance and took a hip hop class last night. i so do not know how to dance or bust a move. the instructor "mo" was way too good of a dancer and i just didn't even try after a while. also, it was way fast rap, kinda of r and b, kind of hip hop music. she had us do a routine she was making up. i think i'll stick to spinning, yoga and resistance weights. i expect a better body by christmas!!!!
the boys are taking a great art class this week at this gal's home. ethan did it last week. she is so awesome. at the end of the week she does a gallery for the parents. i took my dad on friday, who is a great artist himself, and he loved it. here are some photos of ethan's gallery and my dad. ethan is happiest when doing art. it is so his thing and his gift. i love his creative masterpieces!
i went to a yard sale last saturday and picked up some great junk. this is what i did with it. the lanterns are from oregon. labeled "vintage" from a junk store there. oh how i love "junk"! for family dinner on monday night we got chinese take out and all ate under the lights in our little chinese corner of the yard. it was quaint and so fun for all of us. i feel a theme coming on!
lastly...there is only one blog that i stalk - daily. some gal in texas that i so do not know but all the links and etsy shops and stores and fashion and design...are what i'm all about. not all totally my style but it's all great stuff and i always see something i want. what's new! stalk her too at http://www.roomsomewhere.blogspot.com/ and you may find something you like.

song of the day: "love is like oxygen".......this was my favorite song in like 1976 or so.

ps. I forgot to add... 126?? Are you freakin kidding me? I weigh 135! Hearing you say 126 makes me sound like a heffer! Oh and it doesn't help that my cousin who is 5 months pregnant is griping about weighing 130!!
