March... ahh March.

This is the month where back home, I could look forward to much warmer weather, blue skies, (okay lots of rain) and the beginning of "outdoor season". I'm hoping that it means the same thing here in Alberta as well. I know we have bipolar weather here, but I am seriously looking forward to increasing frequency of warmer days, possibly some rain.. I miss the rain.

I am looking forward to this running clinic I am doing through Mountain Co-Op, I am just hoping not to freeze my bits off!
This Spring/Summer is going to have a massive active focus on it for me. I will not allow myself to gain weight again the way I have in the past. I have been rather sloth over the last month or so, I'm not sure if its due to being back to work, or if its just the weather, laziness, comfort.. but I have been blah!

I need to find my routines again. Get into them, sink into them. I should find a couple good yoga classes around here and take part, or actually buy my recumbent bike for the basement. Nothing screams workout like basement, laundry, and ipod.. and either way, I'm stoked.

Wait till ya see me!!

I'll be buff, and glowing!

Blue skies, warmer weather?

After 5 long months of cold, and wind, and snow, I am looking forward to the summer. The winter is beautiful, I love the crisp weather, and the blue skies, but REALLY... I would love some warm sun beating down on me. To go outside and not be smacked in the face with -20 weather would be wonderful.

I find that I have no drive these days to do much of anything physical. The idea of going to the gym, sweating my ass off, and going outside into that cold, isn't much fun in my mind. I am damned cold, even now, under my blankets.

I find that I want to spend more and more time in bed these days. Its a warm comfortable place, where I am happy, and in my zen. Between work, and having a social life, and having a child, I find my bed is my perfect little relaxation den - it really is where it's all about me.

I am happy. Happier than I've been in a long time. I wish I could go into details, but for now, just know.

Namaste.
