This week I...

Received a Spring Swap package in the mail

The package included a bright colored paisley purse, a hand knit brown beanie, chamomile tea, honey hand cream, and chewy sweet tarts!


Remember this post where I talked about becoming a citizen? Well on Tuesday, I voted for the very first time! Now I can feel some civil pride =D

I also started a new exercise program. In addition to Yoga 3-4 times a week at the studio, I started following Gina at The fitnessista's Summer Shape Up 2010 program. She's up to week 3 already, but I just started week 1 on Monday. It's pretty much kicking my butt - but I feel great! I like having the list of exercises spelled out for me. I much prefer the "strength" days to the intense cardio "speed" days. I don't think I've sprinted since I was in elementary school! phew! I'm kind of embarrassed to admit it but after 45 seconds of sprinting and I was on the floor!

  1. Nice goodies you got in the mail. The bag is cute!

    Keep up with the yoga. You're doing better than me right now. Wouldn't that be a sight gimping around while trying to do yoga! Hopefully I can get back to it by next week. :)

  7. Congratulations on your citizenship. I love the bag and the goodies. And good luck with your exercise program. (old follower here who hasn't commented in a while and thought I'd poke my head in today to say "Hi" and see what's up. Oh, I see you have posted in a while? Oh well, I'll be back, smiles.
