I actually am liking work a lot better lately, just because the personalities now gel well enough to great a good atmosphere. It's been very busy and stressful this past week, but somehow it's still better than it was before.<BR/><BR/>Walking/exercise update: It's going well! I even surpassed my goal for the week, which I then celebrated by eating too many mint cookies, but I still like to see it as a minor personal victory!Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919215971601240222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037641.post-1127286027221332162005-09-21T00:00:00.000-07:002005-09-21T00:00:00.000-07:00I forgot to mention that Shakes in the Park was a ...I forgot to mention that Shakes in the Park was a lovely bit of serendipity. I had seen their ads in the paper, but didn't realize they would be at Laurelhurst. that somehow made the huckleberry milkshake tast even better! And I am LOVING your sticker giving co-worker. Stickers are powerful currency. But mostly I think it is great to get some non-annoying encouragement, and even better that the walking is feeling good. (way to go endorphins!)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998413591822017096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037641.post-1127274375390967052005-09-20T20:46:00.000-07:002005-09-20T20:46:00.000-07:00I had read about Shakes in the Park and forgotten ...I had read about Shakes in the Park and forgotten about it again. It's good to get out to those kinds of things, especially with the days of summer fast fading away.<BR/><BR/>We went walking (well to the gym and the Road to Nowhere aka treadmill) tonight. My goal was do walk/go to the gym three time this week and I'm already 2/3 of the way there, so I'm feeling pretty good.<BR/><BR/>Apparently, I am now walking for stickers. One of my coworkers heard that of my goal, so now she has declared herself my (and another coworker's)personal "Fitness Nazi". She's actually very sweet. If we answer "yes", she smacks a sticker on our wall calendars. It's all very pre-school, but I find I'm actually shamed when I don't get the sticker. We'll see how long that lasts.<BR/><BR/>For now, though it's good. The Fitness Nazi just surpassed her goal weight doing LA Weightloss, so she's not annoying in her encouragement. I didn't think she looked bad before, but she looks fabulous now. She says she was a chubby kid and that now, for the first time in her life, she's actually being told not to lose any more weight. I say good for her! It's motivating to see that someone else can do it (though I am just a little jealous of all the new clothes she gets to buy).Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919215971601240222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037641.post-1127108201903980992005-09-18T22:36:00.000-07:002005-09-18T22:36:00.000-07:00sounds like a lovely afternoon!

We went to Laurelhurst, where Burgerville was having Shakes in the Park (Hamberglet was the play we saw, Huckleberry was the free shake). Anyway - it was just the perfect thing to drive away the last dredges of my stupid headache, and I found myself wondering the same thing - why don't I do this more often? So - yay for walking!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998413591822017096noreply@blogger.com
