WowzaYowzaPow!

Heeey!!!  How are you??  What has been the best part of your day, so far?!

Whattap, my friends and followers?  I have been MIA for way-too-long, but with good reason and some interesting events to catch ya'll up on!

I'll work kinda backward here, starting with today being the 28th of December in Minnesota and we do NOT have any SNOW!  Wowza!!  Went for a 45min/2.5mi walk with my new roomy and her dog today as they showed us the new trail in the town we just moved to...oh yeah...my dog and I moved back to MN after I *graduated*!!  Yeehaw! 

Yesterday, my ma and I helped my stepdad move a bunch of stuff at his business to a different property so that he can improve the quality of the Brick Oven Bakery!  What a job - we are "good helpers", and as my mama always says, "Good thing [your stepdad] has strong women in his life!" Amen to that.  We lifted and hauled for 2 hours; although moving isn't always a fun project, I reminded myself (out loud, sometimes) that it was good exercise :)  A little bit of stiffness and glute ouchies today - yowza - but used good form and don't have any back or hip pain! YAY!

Monday, my awesome extended-family on ma's side went BOWLING after Christmas dinner!  I haven't been bowling in years - maybe 6 or 7 years?  Haven't been able to because it really hurt my back for a long time.  Not this week!  Yeeeeehawww!!  It was a LOT of fun!  Even better, my awesome team (pictured below and missing one teammate) won two awards - so, we win! :)  "Team Jake" decided we were the ultimate winners because Captain Jake had the highest score out of the four teams/8 games played, and I had the most single-pins (aka #1-POW!).  So, WE WIN! :)  My lil' cousin in front got to take home the Christmas balloon as his prize! 

All this excitement and that's only the last three days!  I won't go back any further than last Saturday, December 24, when I had the opportunity to lead Yoga at Total Wellness Coaching as a sub for the regular instructor.  I will be taking on more classes next month as a substitute and hope to be incorporated by the business as an independent contractor as much as possible!  Meanwhile, I'm still looking for other jobs . . .

I still need to update ya'll on the trip that my former roomy and I took to Warm Mineral Springs . . . ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . . I want to go back!  As soon as I get those pictures uploaded I will post :)  Until then - stay active!!  Move a little bit more each day.  Join a class, take your neighbor's dog for a walk, do some sit-ups while watching your favorite TV show, or use the stairs at work instead of the elevator!
