Approaching halfway

Today is day 45 of my "100 (plus 4) Day Challenge" in one week I'll be at the halfway mark and some things are changing.

The Minutes in Motion program is done, but I'm going to stick with it - at least 30 mins of activity a day. Sometimes it means more one day and less the next, but the 210 minutes a week will remain my objective. Maybe I'll even get lucky and win something next week at the wrap up event.

Last night was the end of Zumba at Viterbo. Even though I've been going since January, I still feel un-coordinated at times. Not sure what the college girls thought about the old fat guy in the room, but I gave it a whirl. Not sure if I want to keep Zumbaing (I doubt that is a word) but I need to find some sort of class. The advantage at Viterbo was that I didn't have to pay for it since I'm a student. I'm thinking of trying Yoga. It is supposed to be quite a workout, and I know my flexability could be improved. I might ask my wife and see if it is something we can do together. Our schedules are crazy, but maybe we can carve out an hour to do it together.

On Week 4 of the Couch to 5k program and I'm trotting along. I made the mistake of looking ahead to next week and the 20 minute run has me a little freaked out. Found out a couple of my cousins (that are in shape) want to join me for the Chileda run on July 3rd. I warned them, I'll be the slow one in the back, so go ahead without me.

Losing some of the structure in my exercise program will present a challenge, but I know I'll stick with it and try some different things. This might be a sign that it's time to get the bike out and start riding again.

One class is done, the other one finishes on Tuesday. It will be nice to have the summer free of school, even though I'm going to work on my portfolio. There is so much work in the house and yard that needs to be done. Getting some of that taken care of will be a huge accomplishment and clear out a lot of "mind clutter."

Spirituality has been on my mind lately, maybe reading the Purpose Driven Life is taking hold. I want to find more in my life, just not sure how to get there. I picked up the audio book "The Me I Want To Be" I loved the title and the book is refreshingly good. A couple minor "a-ha's" so far, maybe there will be a major one farther in. I have some more windshield time coming it, it's nice to have something new to listen to.
