Fitness

Back in December I had started a fitness regimen which has provided admirable results as far as my general health, and stamina. I was working out regularly, six days a week and was pretty disciplined as far as keeping up with my workouts and what I ate. Apparently not well enough. Somehow in my efforts to help fill out my slender near insubstantial frame, I was disappearing in a sense. Somewhere in all the working out and lifting weights and whatnot, I lost a collective twelve pounds. I did not know that I could lose that much weight and not notice it. This realization prompted a 3 week hiatus on the fitness regimen. Now I am trying to start up again, but curtailing the vigorous zealotry of the 6 day a week workout. I have graciously gained most of the weight back, as I do not see myself being particularly healthy in the weight bracket which I previously was... or maybe I was healthy, but still the idea of not noticing where 12 pounds of mass go is mildly disconcerting.

Harsh week concluding... but snafu's continue

This week has been mildly to moderately stressful, compared to my normal weekly and monthly stress levels. I coordinated several art displays for the class I taught for the past thirty weeks. It has been one heck of an adventure, with highs and lows of the most extreme kind. I had several things which I wanted resolved before the end of the week. Mainly the displays, one of which will be at the National Museum of Mexican Art for the duration of the Summer. The second was a mural done on two panels by my students. Coordinating and installing the 84 inch by 84 inch monstrosity was such a pain in the but whatever. The last major thing which I have to address is mounting and installing a series of student work at the elementary school which I taught my after school class. I have no guidance from the Principal, and minimal materials which to use, but plenty of artwork which to sort through.
