Hey!
So its Friday!! I'm so happy about that. I think we will just play games all day, and try to have some fun. School is still challenging... I'm not sure it can get any better. But to help me along I have found an application on my phone that counts the days until 1) Summer Vacation (49)and 2) contract completion! (260). It keeps me motivated. I'm not the only one looking forward to vacation- all of the teachers are. Everyone is tired and stressed out.
FAT SMASH 2010.
Instead of that other competiton, the gym came up with this. Losing weight is a common theme so they decided to focus on that. Last week was my first week. It was hard, sweaty and painful, but awesome. I came in 3rd for percentage of fat lost!! This week was also a good workout week. Yesterday was especially intense with abs and core being the focus- both of which I lack muscular definition. But wait, in 6 weeks I will have left this lard ass at the curb!!
Simon the trainer is really awesome. He pushes just hard enough, and he is very knowledgeable. I want to work hard for him and for me. Yesterday as I was laying in a pool of my own sweat, I thought that I will never absentmindly put something into my mouth again! It is too damn hard to take off this beloved spare tire. Sure it was fun eating ( or self medicating through food), but this pain I feel in my body now- is just to much.
Everyone always says your attitude will be better with exercise- well, they aren't lying. It has changed dramitically. Even after two days, I felt better. I wasn't as stressed and I wasn't on an emotional rollercoaster! I will never let the rollercoaster get ahead of me again!!
Update: Mandy and the Vice
Unfortunately my partner in crime has been down and out. He has diabetes, but has come down with a high fever and other complications. He has been in Seoul for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Everyone is not sure what is happening or how he is doing. I know that I miss having the man in the fancy outfits around. Maybe I will buy a nice bright summer shirt for when he returns.
This weekend the world cup starts. Korea's first games against Greece is on Saturday. I think we will head down to the local stadium and watch it with everyone there. It should be a great time. I wore my Korea shirt today to school, and the kids and teachers were thrilled. It should be a great time. I hope they win.
Time to get to work, Monday is never that far away in a teachers life.... ick!
