Stiff and sore

I'm stiff and sore all over. I've been aware lately that my weight has been creeping up, so I've given it some hard thought, contemplating what I'm willing to do to try to get myself into better shape. I'd been letting some of my healthy habits slack off. I stopped weight lifting, for example, when I had the gall bladder surgery, and I never picked it back up again. I'd stopped tracking food when I got down close to my goal weight, and so extra calories started creeping back in.

So: recommitment to healthy living. Push more vegetables into the diet, back to the weight lifting again (I did an upper body weights workout yesterday, which is why I'm so sore), back to the food tracking. I'm also trying to do the summer goals program in karate (do the form 150 times, 1500 slow kicks, 1000 push ups, etc.) I had to miss karate last night since there was a church council meeting, but I ended up at the dojo to clean it at the tail end of class. I was really bummed to see that they had been working on form. That's the class I've been pining to have for the past month--I am not crystal clear on all the folds for Zhang Do Moon, and if I'm going to be practicing my form 150 times this summer, for heaven's sakes I want to do it right.

Best. Office Prank. EVAH.

Another amusing video. This might be all over your friends list tomorrow, but I don't care. I have to post it, too. Thanks to eeknight for the link.
