More random thoughts for March

- Hot yoga is tiring at first but gave me tons of energy later that night and the next morning (I actually woke up at 3:45 went back to sleep and still felt good at 5:15 when I finally woke up).  I feel revived but sore in my hamstrings.  I now know what a yoga block is used for and how inflexible I am.  I know to eat something before 90 minutes of hot yoga and to drink a ton of water before going into a 107 degree room for that long.  I will do this again next weekend because I am probably a little crazy.

- I hate grading essays.  They are the bane of my existence.  The kids hate writing them and I hate grading them.  If you're asking, I have no choice but to grade them and that is all.

- One more resolution update, I am down 5-6 lbs from the beginning of the year.  My goal is about 18 lbs by this December and to keep it off (less eating out, more exercise, smaller portions, divvying out food throughout the day but not really watching what I eat except for fast food excluding Chick-fil-a...horrible grammar, I know already).  I though I plateaued 2 weeks ago but fasting helped a lot and went down even more but man, fasting is hard.  I suck at not trying to think about eating.

- I use an electronic toothbrush (Oral-B Triumph).  I cannot brush with a regular toothbrush anymore.  My teeth are not as clean with the non-electric toothbrush.  It sucks compared to an electronic toothbrush.  I get a regular toothbrush every time I go to the dentist and now I have a stack of them.  Anybody want a free toothbrush?

- I wore my retainer for about 10 years.  It broke on me when I was 25.  My teeth shifted a tiny bit but are relatively straight.  Many of my friends stopped wearing them after one year.  They've got jacked-up teeth again.

- I love sleep.  I've been falling asleep within five minutes of putting my head on the pillow every night for a while.  It's just hard to get up many times when the alarm hits 5 AM (except last night but that's the first point today)....

- How I am feeling these days - great.  5-6 years ago - not so great and pretty much depressed.  I'll touch on this topic next weekend because I'm leaving you hanging to come back and read...well, that is, if you read anything that's posted here.

If this was tl;dr, that's fine.  Until then have a great week,
-CP
