Recovering!

After MIA from the world wide web for a few days, I return with not-so-much renewed vigor for surfing the net or even writing daily in this web log - but remind myself to keep on keepin' track of my health habits and continue to encourage others if they may be reading :-)

My mom and stepdad visited me in Florida this weekend!  What a fun time!  I picked them up in Orlando on Friday and brought them to my humble pad where we launched into our daily adventures and came back to attempt restorative sleep!

Okay - I'm going to just do a quick review of my daily activities and "feelings" quickly and then head outside.  I want to post more later about some interesting occurrances from the last few days.

Friday: Roomie KA and I took my beloved doggy for a walk on Friday afternoon; starting off anticipating a "down-to-the-stoplight-and-back" trip of about 1.5 miles, we turned and took a new route - which, in turn, brought us to discover a gorgeous new path through the wooded area nearby!!! SO FUN!  Ended up being a nice 45 minute walk with new environmental stimulation :-) Yay!

Saturday, I brought the parents to UF!  Wowza!  They now know how HUGE it is!  We walked a couple of miles and took some fun pictures of the gator in front of the football stadium.  Yahoo!

Sunday was the big trip to St. Augustine!  What a day.  Met a good friend for lunch and then spent several hours walking and learning at Castillo de San Marcos and touring the beautiful St. George Street in all it's magnificence!  I did buy myself an "engagement ring" at the women's exchange (reason coming in a later post...*shudder*....creeper/stalker story).

Yesterday was a day off partially because I haven't slept well in a few days and partially because I had a group project meeting, a meeting with DELICIOUS FOOD at Genghi's Grill with the parentals before they left :) YUM, a quick nap, and a long drive to-and-fro the Orlando airport.  It was bittersweet to see them leave - I'm such a sappy sapwad.  ENFJ.  Check it out.

I want to go sit outside in the sunshine for a while before classes today so that is it for now.  I plan to meet with my weights-date again after classes and then come home to take the dog for a walk or jog, depending on how the feet feel!

Tah-tah :) Enjoy the pics!

Part II?

Okay :-) 

Biked my behind to class (missed the first class because I was sitting out at the pool and lost track of time! reading my AWESOME NEW BOOK from the used book store: Manifesto for a New Medicine).  

After class, went to my "weights-date" with Amelia again and lifted 'upper body' and stretched with foam roller (YEOUCH but good). 

Biked home and went for a 45 min walk with the dog and roommates!  Good movement day, overall.  Nothing real strenuous but 90+ minutes of planned movement.  Yippee! 

More beautiful weather in store for the week - yeeeeehawwwww.
