lately

i've been pretty busy lately at work. trial lessons on top of normal lessons. lots of teaching. im trying not to get discouraged. trying to stay positive and motivated.

the marathon is over. i feel like i have so much more time now. I think im just going to maintain about 25 miles a week plus swimming and aerobics and not go above that for awhile. (at least till my next event) this is a good thing. ive had more time to keep up on housework, reading-both bible and other books, sudoku and ive even been cooking a lot. its been really fun to try new recipes.

i stopped eating sweets and snacking. its been good. i feel good to eat more well balanced and not depending on the sugar to keep me energized. i have taken a few bites of some things if i was out with friends- but thats nothing to how poorly i was eating before.

Hiro and i have been trying to plan the wedding. its hard work. lots of details. and im pretty sure we have to go to tokyo on a week day to get some papers notarized. thats not too convenient.

french is going well. ive been really putting a lot of effort into practicing for the DALF C1 test. I am thinking to take the spring one. hopefully ill be ready.

so yep, thats about it. been busy busy busy. on that note, im gonna make my bed, brush my teeth and head off to work.
