friday night fun

Tonight I had the classroom part of the motorcycle course, tomorrow and Sunday we actually get to go out and learn to ride!  I’m looking forward to it even though it is supposed to be a tad bit on the warm side here.  I am crossing my fingers hoping that I can pick up riding easily and pass the class, if not I am out a bit of money!

So since finding out about the high blood pressure I have started looking at what I eat a little more closely.  I admit that I don’t eat as healthy as I should but I also never thought that my eating habits were THAT bad.  I need to steer clear of processed foods and start cooking more at home.  My problem is I can’t stand most raw veggies and fruits.    Luckily on the list of good veggies to eat I like quite a few of them(as long as they are cooked or steamed) so I am okay there.  As far as exercising Matt and I went jogging on Wednesday and Thursday and took tonight off to rest our legs up a bit.  I am thinking about heading down to the little gym to ride on the bike for a while just to get a little something in for the day.  I’ve been trying to stay consistent with doing sit-ups and lifting my wee 3 pound weights in the morning after work, I’d really like to start looking better naked.   I also purchased a BP monitor from Wal*Mart tonight and so far the two readings I’ve taken are lower than the ones that I got at the doctor so hopefully the new birth control I am on is making a difference already.

As of right now I’m trying to catch up on some homework but am obviously being easily distracted.  Widget’s passed out on my red down vest, I’m glad that one of us have gotten some use out of that thing.  The ony problem with him sleeping on it is the fur he leaves behind!  It takes me several sheets of lint brush to get all of the fur off of it before I wear it.  Matt’s working tonight but is off tomorrow night as well since he has some kind of airplane thingy he’s doing tomorrow afternoon.  I was really hoping I could stumble upon some Jimmy Eat World tickets for tomorrow night but alas I have not.  Soooo sad!  I guess he and I will have to find something else to get ourselves into if I am not busy with homework and studying!

Anywho I guess that is all from me, I should get back to my research for my paper.  Later taters!
