Will it ever stay at one season???

If you look at the trees in the area, you'll think that Spring has sprung. Then you watch the news and they tell you, "Oh, it'll be blah blah blah degrees today." THEN you hear "Don't get used to this weather, it'll be cold again." Just give me a steady and constant temperature!!

Every day now, I see more and more trees budding out. Yesterday, the redbuds started blooming. Today, I saw yet another cluster of redbuds, so that tells me that Spring is definitely here. It was 80 degrees yesterday and today. Darned weather! If it doesn't stay at one temperature, it floats to an extreme! Not good when you're fighting something, let me tell you. I can't tell if it's allergies, a cold or whatever, but again today, I had a number of people tell me to go home. One of my sales reps even asked me how many cigarettes I'd had before he called me. Since I don't smoke, this was hysterical.

Tomorrow is the gup test at the dojang. I'm going to attend as an observer, not as a participant. I'm just a student, just going to provide moral support for a friend's son. This will be a great experience, just for the chance to see how the tests are run. Then I'll be better able to visualize my own test, whenever that will be...

Lessons learned

I think I've learned a valuable lesson. Drink LOTS of water and *never* get on the scale after a day of very low water drinking. I was up 1.5 pounds this morning. I KNOW it's from not drinking enough water. I'm supposed to be making every effort to drink more water. If I drink more this week, maybe I'll see a better loss. I'm back to working out heavy duty now. I can run again. There's a story behind that statement...I tore my left quad a few weeks ago and wasn't able to run. Last night I actually ran for the first time and it didn't hurt! I did lunges too. I can do that without pain now! YIPPEE! I also went out and walked with one of the girls from class on Tuesday. We walked about 2 1/2 miles. It was a good walk. It was hot still, but cooler than it would have been if we'd gone out during lunch. Now that it's full summer in Texas, we're not walking during lunch anymore. We'll wait until the weather cools down in September.
