Work and Surprises, Hurray!

I’ve been having a string of awesome days lately and today was one of the best. It actually was a light day as far as exercise goes, but that was a nice rest for my body.  The awesome stuff all came from different places but combined to make a fantastic day.

This morning started out with my first intro to being staff here at Green Mountain!  Woohoo!  I met with the directors here and discussed my position as a staff participant and what I will be doing for the staff part of that.  After the meeting I was so excited to start working on things!  I have a lot of ideas for stuff I can do but I realize I am only part time and only here three months so I have to do what I can do.  I know that my only problem will be working too much and forgetting I still need to be a participant too.  I just get really excited about blogging and social media and the like when it’s helping out a great program like the one here.

I also got a package from Kepa today!  It was a surprise and I was super excited and shocked to get it.  I always like getting mail – especially when I am not expecting any – so that made my day.  If anyone else feels like sending mail, please do!

Oh, and another thing… Marsha is letting me use her flip video camera while I am here!  HURRAY!  I will get to do some awesome videos for my blog so I can show you all around and also eventually will do some fun video posts for the Green Mountain blog (like with the chefs!! ooo!!). So to just test out the camera I took a quick little video of the mountain and walking track here. Pretty, eh?

Moves:

45 minutes lower body conditioning class

30 minutes abs with the fitball class

1 mile walk outside at moderate pace

Meals:

Breakfast Tuesday 915 French ToastLunch Tuesday 915 Chicken FajitaSnack Tuesday 915 Black Bean Crackers With SalsaDinner Tuesday 915 ShrimpsDessert Tuesday 915 DELICIOUS CARROT CAKE

I’m happy to be having so many great days lately. It’s odd how only a month or two can change your entire life at the time and the entire future course of your life. A lot of things are changing right now for me, both internally and externally. It’s hard sometimes because there seem to be a lot of obstacles in the way to my having exactly what I want, but like Connie told me this morning, it’s rare that everything in your life will be lined up perfectly all at the same time. I feel like a lot of things have lined up nicely right now so I’m not even going to worry about what isn’t perfect.

What about you, did you have a fantastic day too?

Mary, it is awesome to be in the zone, isn’t it? It sounds as if you are really in a good place right now. I hope the rest of the time there is just as rewarding, but more so, I hope this ushers in the same excitement when you leave.

So what? I walked a couple of laps around the parking lot (before I tripped in a pot hole). It was kinda pretty, especially where the dude was hosing off the dumpster. Okay… I guess your walk is prettier! One point for you! Not that we’re keeping score.

That food looks amazing! I’m so thrilled for you that you’re so enthusiastic about your new position.

I’ve been having a wonderful week, as well. Nothing particularly extraordinary about it, but things have been going really well. :)

23 Mary September 16, 2009 at 6:01 pm

@Jack
How the heck did you get more points than me? I don’t think you know how to keep score, cheater.

@Marsha
Thanks!

@Bella
Thanks! Yeah, I’m excited to be doing something I like. Glad to hear you are having a good week!
