I was at Costco checking out the other day, freezing. I couldn't get warm. A young guy was cashier, wearing a short sleeve t-shirt. I told him how cold I was, asked him how he could be warm enough dressed like that. He said, "Did you exercise today?" Ummm....no. The way he said it almost seemed like he was channeling the exercise gods to send me a message: Get off your butt, you sit too much! So back on the trails yesterday, and the hike was so enjoyable!
I had a short-lived plan for every other day of hiking and weight lifting. I'm giving that one another shot. The gym is one mile away, the trail is a 10-minute drive, what's my problem? The only excuse I have is that I've been really busy, but not so busy that I couldn't at least go to the gym. So it's not really an excuse.
Yesterday's meeting went exceptionally well, we are going to provide online high school courses and social and academic support for kids who are leaving the detention centers and not planning to go back to their own high schools. There are kids out there right now who don't know that their lives are about to change!

I'm not sure about exercise making you feel warmer beyond the moment. I still feel very cold most of the time and have to wear sweaters on a regular basis. I think it might be a hormone thing, though. But if the comment the cashier made helped set your mind on doing more exercise, it's all good!

It may be from the weight you have lost too. I find myself very cold the last week or so....I think it is a layer of insulating fat that maybe I don't have anymore...hahaha

Right Jaime, we are just skin and bones now, nothing to protect us from a chill...hahahaha. Oh, I just looked in the mirror, reality check, that's not it. I think it's partly hormonal, I'm hot-cold-hot-cold-hot-cold. Nights are a real joy, good thing I sleep alone :-( Well not really)

I am so excited that things are really starting to move with your career endeavors. You are out there, making a difference for the good instead of laying back and just complaining about the sorry state of things. I have to go to Casa Grande on Saturday but do you want to go on a hike together on Sunday?

So glad you got out for the hike...why can t we remember how good exercise feels?? Same thing with a delicious salad...yet I can conjure the deliciousness of pasta donuts and cake .... it s almost like there is something at work against us being healthy. Interesting stuff. You job sounds very rewarding.
