Updates, updates, come get your updates!

Well! I haven't updated my blog in a long while, so here goes....

I decided last week to start getting serious about my health and well-being, so I've started walking and riding my bike to start with. So far, I'm really enjoying it a lot, although I do prefer to ride as opposed to walking. My total mileage to date is 23.81 miles!! I thank God every day that I can get out and ride or walk that I still have the good health (relatively, that is) to move and do something!

I'm not really worried about losing weight this time around-I know that will come as a natural result of more activity. All that has made me really want to eat better, and that's not natural for me, so I know there's a lot of positive effects happening already....

I've also started getting up with Jake in the morning around 5:45 AM. This has really been a benefit to me too, I think. It's allowed me to get a whole lot more done around the house and keep on top of my work as well. Despite getting lots of sleep every day, I used to feel like a slug most of the time and I wouldn't be able to get anything done because I felt so lazy and sleepy all the time....that is slowly changing, which I'm grateful for.

One last thing-if you haven't seen Star Trek, go see it! It's so good, and I hated the original show, always bored me, but this movie was so fun! I'm going to see it again as soon as I can!

Friday is Angels and Demons-I'm so stoked to see this movie, although I'm sure I'll end up picking it apart afterwards like I always do with book adaptation movies, especially since I finished the book about a month ago!
