This weekend I...

  Last week classes started again.  We also got our my marks for last semester.  B+, B+, B, B, and C.   I'm happy but for some reason part of me is not satisfied.  I wanted at least one A.  Actually, I'm surprised because I thought 2 of those would be As.  I don't know what my classmates got (I will find out once the marks are official), but I have a feeling I'm in the lowest.  Although, according to this University's system, B+ and B are considered "very good", and C is "good".  I guess that's good enough. All that to say though that I am kicking it up a notch this semester.  I want some "A"s.  Why?  For my own personal satisfaction.   So Friday morning, I had an 8:30 AM class.  I met the coolest professor ever!  She loves dogs (even had a photo of her dog on the big screen in class because it's a therapy dog that helps reduce stress :) and self-declared herself a "tree hugger".  We are going to get along just fine!   Right after class, a couple of classmates/friends and I had made plans to go to the gym.  I have to point out here, that I am "back" in university after being in the work force for 8 years.... I'm 35.  So I'm a bit older than these young ladies.  I was a bit scared to go back to the gym and pass out or something while these young chicks would outrun me by far.  I know it's not a competition, but I was just hoping to be able to keep up and not embarrass myself in a gym full of 20-year-olds.   Once I was able to figure out how to work the (new and modern) Elliptical, I started "stepping" and realized after a minute of this shit that I hate the gym.  (I don't like using the word *hate* because it is such a strong and ugly word but I can't find any other English term to describe the feeling I felt while trying to work against a machine.)  I don't get along with machines.  Well, thank God it just happened that at this time, a yoga class was about to start!  Now THAT, I can handle.  It was wonderful to get my body moving again.  My favourite is stretching. 
  source   The best part is that I absolutely loved the yoga teacher.  His voice was so serene and spiritual.  The energy in the room after class was wonderful.   I plan to go back every Friday after class.    This weekend I also did a lot of juicing.

  You'd think all this fruit and veggie would be expensive?  Not really.  We visit the discount shelf at the grocery store and find a bags of good produce.  The bags below total 10.8 lbs and cost us $6.45.
