Fri 6 Jan

Decided to take my rest day from the Slim in 6 exercise program today, so I slept in this morning til almost 6! I will probably try to do the stretch video later after work, and may possibly even try the ab video today since the other muscles are still getting their rest.

The work holiday party last night at Grazie's was fun. I really appreciate what a nice group of people I have to work with. And our psychiatrist, Mo, graciously picked up the food tab for the entire group of 20 people! After she had already given us each a Starbucks gift card. She is so generous!

I had a first experience this morning. I was exiting a home in rural Portage County, the sun was peeking out, a warm(ish) breeze blew in my face, and for the first time, I experienced spring fever on January 6! I started thinking about planting my herb garden.

Okay, I'm officially an old lady now. I tried Zumba today for the Wii. And I kinda liked it. It provides a bit of a challenge even though the steps are pretty easy to keep in sync with the "instructor". It requires wearing the controller on an included belt and making sure your hips are properly aligned. It works fine when the tempo is relatively fast, but it can't seem to detect me at all when it's slow. There was one routine that was basically stretching and it didn't even realize I was there.

Thinking sushi thoughts tonight.
