Getting motivated!
Now that we/re getting more settled we've started branching out. Yesterday we went to Ballantyne NC to check out the Ymca. They have 2 branches, each within 10 miles from us. When you join one you get to use both. One is for adults only and has lots of yoga, the other is larger and has an outdoor pool (for this summer) as well as a huge spinning room. They also offer a Triathlon training program this spring that I want to sign up for. Here in Sun City they have a personal group training program that I started last night. It's an hour of personal training and I loved it. The trainer is great, very bubbly and friendly. I'll do that on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 5:00.
We're really looking forward to running around here. Saturday we plan on going to a greenway called Anne Springs Greenways and it has miles of trails. There are a couple of running groups that meet there but we're going to venture there by ourselves first.
I did well on another day of Eat to Live and hopefully the scale will reflect my efforts soon. In any case, I love eating so many fruits and veggies and I know I'll reap the rewards soon.
Today we're going to go to a local mall. This should be an adventure. I'm sure I'll be in shell shock. There is so much shopping around here I don't know where to begin so we're going to start at the closest mall.
We haven't gotten to Charlotte to see the baby yet cause now that we're pretty much settled, Frank has a cold and we don't want to expose him to Cameron. Hopefully next week we'll be able to get out there and then on a semi-regular basis after that. I can't wait to see him. He is a real cutie.
Time to get ready to go shopping!
Have a great day!

Back online!
The computer guy came to fix my computer today so I'm back online or at least in the process of getting back. They had to replace my hard drive so I lost all of my files. I managed to find my external hard drive so will be able to reinstall my pictures. Hopefully I can remember how to do it. Frank got me the Photoshop software for Christmas and I've been looking forward to learning how to use that while we're in-between houses so I'm glad I'll be able to do that. Fortunately I had all of my music on my Ipad so I could transfer all those files back to Itunes as well as my Apps. That was scary. I was pretty stressed out thinking I had lost everything but thankfully most everything can be recreated, I just have to get creative.
Frank went to get his eye examined today and ordered new glasses. He broke his glasses about a month ago and has been wearing his old ones and he couldn't really see all that good. I don't know how he could stand that for so long. Anyway, he'll look much more with it once he gets those. His are pretty geeky!
I didn't get to run today because I had to wait for the computer guy but hopefully today was the last day we have anything pressing to do so no more excuses! I hope to run about 8 in the morning.
My eating is going really well so far so I'm really pleased although it's not 100%. Today I had my green smoothie, (yum!) and then soup and broccoli for lunch, an apple with almond butter for a snack and veggie chili and a huge salad for dinner. I will have my nightly Edy's Frozen Fruit snack for dessert. Got to lose about 20 pounds to be in fighting shape so I'm committed! I still am not willing to give up my coffee with cream though. Hopefully I can at least cut down but that is tough for me cause it's something I really enjoy.
Time for Idol! Yes, I still am addicted to it! Gotta Run!

Met with Pulte home supervisor
This morning we with Jim Klutz, the supervisor assigned to our house build. He's a really nice guy and we feel confident that he'll look out for us. Closing is scheduled for April 28, 89 days! Some of the options have changed since we made our selections so we were able to makes some changes. We were able to change to Kitchenaid appliances which was awesome! They had also added some additional color choices for the hardwood so we changed to a darker color. So all is ready to proceed. We did visit the sight and the slab is complete and the next thing is the framing which will happen Feb 11! It'll be fun to watch the progress. We'll be able to see the progress every morning as part of our run. Jims wife is a massage therapist who actually works here in Sun City. I'm hoping to be able get together with her and do trades.
We're now officially signed in to the fitness center and I'm looking forward starting a workout program. They have a couple of personal trainers that you can sign up with. Running is pretty good here so I think I'll be able to get into better shape. I've also decided to try a healthy eating with lots of fruits and veggies. So far I'm doing pretty good and want to drop about 20 pounds.
Tomorrow someone from Dell is coming to fix my computer that the cable guy crashed! Our warranty is up next week so it's really good timing! Can't wait to get back online although I'm really wishing I had a laptop! Ummmmmm!
