Zumba for days not going to the Y...real exciting.

I ordered Zumba! Not exactly in the budget, but it is a three month pay out of $20 so I can exercise at home. We talked about getting an XBox 360 and a Wii fit, but that sounded like too much to spend. We've lived without them for this long we can do so still. Besides, yesterday I spent an hour walking on the trail behind our house next to the river. I hope to be outside a lot more this spring and summer, but for now, I'm going to the Y, going to do this "Zumba", join netflix and get workout videos from them, if they are available... hope so.

Nothing much new here. I'm going to go to the Y today and maybe stay for three hours. I love working out when I can see results, and the weather has been such that I haven't been able to get there. I also have an appointment with a job placement service through Voc Rehab to help me with my resume and get a job in graphics. I hope I can do that and stay healthy.

Speaking of health, I got some lab results in the mail that said my blood sugar is 96, all calcium, sodium, potassium, kidney, liver functions and protein levels are normal. Cholesterol 122: Triglycerides 111: HDL Chol 52: LDL Chol 58. Then it said, "Desirable cholesterol for the average person is under 200. Target triglycerides is under 200. HDL is the good cholesterol and should be higher than 40. LDL is the bad cholesterol and should be under 130." So all is good everything else says health is normal!!! continue same meds and diet. That makes me so happy to see that something I'm doing is working. YaY!

Today I am going to go to Aldis and Dollar Tree and see what I can stock up on, or if there is anything that we need.

I'm talking with Xlibris publishing company about publishing, The Visitors of Pompadour. It is a self-publishing company and would cost about $500 for print on demand, but it would be on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble's web site and Xlibris' web site also. The book can be sent on to other publishers, I would maintain the rights to have it published through a different publisher is I could get one. I guess I just want to have it done and available and accomplished. Maybe that is a little self centered. But I have been encouraged by many and want to do this. It would be three monthly payments of $176.66. maybe after more of our debt is paid off, because this doesn't constitute an "emergency" of course neither does Zumba!

My glasses look good I've decided. When walking yesterday I took a picture of me in my glasses and it turned out pretty good, so I made it my profile pic. Maybe I'll put one on this site. Probably not.

Can't think of anything else to say here. Watching my eating, our money and now trying to get the house to a point of "oasis" from the world by getting rid of our satellite. They've reduced stations so we only pay $21 a month, but that is not the goal. I want NO TV. I don't think it is healthy for this household. At least I don't think it is healthy for ME. And if we could save even more that would be great!

We've still been utilizing the library quite a bit getting books on CD for me for in the car or at home to listen to when I'm working. I've been checking out children's books and their publishers.
