July Craziness

It seems to be a regular thing lately that I'm deviating from the purpose of this blog. This entry is no exception.

As of a few weeks ago, I signed up for summer classes at my little college in Barbourville. Turns out that I'm a bit behind from taking the semester off to have this surgery done, so I'm making up for lost time. I'm enrolled in an Intro to Critical Studies course that meets 4 days out of the week, so that means in order to save some money, Chase and I are going to set up camp for the month of July. Our prior plans consisted of us living out of our tent for the entire month, but since these crazy, sporadic storms have hit eastern Kentucky, we have since changed our living arrangements. We seriously happened upon this with fair fortune, however, in that Chase's uncle has so graciously offered us temporary use of his travel trailer to live in. So as of a few weeks from now, we will be residing in Barbourville for the entire month of July. I'm still pretty bummed about not being able to spend my summer living out of a tent, though.

In other news, I purchased Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. Still gathering the gumption to actually try it out. I also just found out that we have a copy of P90X lying around. Apparently the in-laws accidentally purchased a duplicate copy and forgot to tell us that they wanted us to have the extra. Oops. More exercise for me, though. Yay. As far as physical activity, I have found something that works for me besides lying around all day. :) I'm strength training 3 days/week, typically Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I'm doing cardio 5 days/week, and to round it out, I'm doing yoga on the weekends. Its making me stronger every time I do it. I'm in terrible need of a band fill, but I refused one the last time because I wasn't prepared for the pain. It really hurt so much the first time that I didn't want to do it again.

But back to the Barbourville living arrangements, there is also a nice little track with exercise equipment around it, in addition to a neat little water park. I'm very much looking forward to it all.

Well, I'm off to eat some dinner. :)
