Time for Everything

I am starting to settle into a schedule for myself.  It's always a bit of struggle to find time for things once I start school.  This year I'm taking on a little more.  I am learning how to knit, I've joined a writer's group, next week I meet with a professor to discuss how I can assist her with her research, I'm a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, and I still find time for myself, my school work, and my exercise classes.  I am busy but I'm also happy. I seem to be able to find time for everything that I want in my life.  I used to limit my activities because I thought that I couldn't fit it all in but I'm learning how to balance my life more.

Last night I went to an exercise class called Below the Belt, which is the same idea as the Buns of Steel videotapes were in the 80s.  It's all about the abdominals, back, legs, thighs, hips (you get the idea). I was sore this morning but I decided to go to kickboxing class anyway.  I told the Bootcamp Queen (instructor) that I was still sore from last night's class.  She told me that the best way to combat soreness is by doing  exercise because it helps get rid of the lactic acid build up in the muscles.  I hardly feel any soreness now, so I'm glad that I went.

To bring us back to why I started this blog in the first place, it's because I registered as a participant in a Breast Cancer Fundraiser for Spring 2013. I need to complete 6 exercise sessions (6 hours of exercise) in one day.  I am starting to feel prepared for this goal.  I can keep up with the classes now, do more intense exercise and my recovery time is not as long as it used to be.  Now I just need to remember to get on the fundraising portion of it.  I have some friends who say that they would like to sponsor me so I will be sending them a link telling them how they can donate to the cause.
