Almost May

Can't believe its almost May already....

Things have been pretty good. This past week was a great regimen of cardio and classes.
Now, its time to motivate myself to get some much needed errands accomplished.  We'll have visitors soon so the place has to be ship-shape.

Work has been hectic but manageable, workouts felt good.

Its been awhile since I've posted any music..so here is Train- Marry Me.

Surprises and Slips

A couple weeks ago I went home to meet my niece Stella and surprise the monkeys out of my family.  Coupled with that was seeing little Stella get baptized, visiting my sister, and getting a 'gut check' on Grand Rapids.

Grand Rapids surprised me. Its a place I've always had as an option to live. After my visit - it still is. Maybe...someday.  It's the super mini mini mini Boston in a way. It was enough for me to reorganize my July trip to have Burger check it out.

When I got back we spent a couple of days making ourselves nuts thinking about all the different options for what we want to do with out lives.

This week I caught I mini cold with my throat hurting and my tingling has made a minor appearance.  Its not much but its been happening. So yesterday after Muay Thai, I went to the Chinese Doc.  He gave me some stuff to make teas. Here is a pic of the stuff to boil...mmmm.  It will help my spleen make blood.


Other instructions were no muscle building. So I have to adjust my intended workouts. I really wanted to start diving in a putting on muscle. He says if I try it won't happen and I may get myself in a bad situation. So for now it will be cardio, hitting stuff, and some kung fu stances.  That should be good enough for now until the spleen is better.  

It sounds like I am to be on this tea for sometime...but I'll do what it takes to not tingle. I forgot how terrible it feels. It also reminded me to stay strong with the diet and the reason why I'm on it.

We shall see how things work themselves out. For now just trying to be happy in the moment.
