...too much sitting is pure evil, too much stationary standing almost as evil, but moving around, feel like that's what our bodies were designed to do... This is so true. Last month when I was at home on vacation between Christmas and New Years I spent a LOT of time at home on the computer in the chair doing some crazy thing. I have a chair with little wheels on it. I was rolling back and forth just to keep moving. My son was sitting at another computer next to me and was asking, "why do you keep going back and forth?" I told him it made my body feel better. He didn't get it...I hope he never does.

here's an article that i found (and shared with my metabolism class) about why sitting all day is so evil - has to do with both metabolism (metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance / diabetes) and musculoskeletal issues especially to the spine. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39523298/ns/health-mens_health/?GT1=43001sorry the formatting of this article is now so awful but if you scroll down, its all there, was better when it first came out. think the effects to the musculoskeletal system especially the spine is even worse for us! and yes, hope your son never understands! but this is why i have my swopper chair, just a fancy name for a bouncy stool on a spring with 360 degrees of rotation freedom plus bounce up and down, yet really feels stable at the same time. its the best investment i've made thus far. liked the one i bought for work (through my overhead money) that i bought one for home out of pocket. $600 seems like a lot, but it completely changed my life for the better and you can't put a pricetag on that!

Tuesday stats: Womens SD Km: 60 min Wednesday stats: KM CB: 60 min Good afternoon everyone, Bug is back. Sick but back. 2 out of 3 buggies have congestions, cough, sore throat.  and I have a sore throat and earache now.  Trying to get my Gianna up and hopping around. t-3 days till her 17th birthday.  I've been thinking of you Erika as well...my love and prayers go out to you.  Also good to see you posting Tink! And all my pals here!  We have new pups in the home! Drove past military drive last week and made a uturn around! This lady and her daughters were selling retriever mix pups! I found one for my momma. She lost Viva after 16 1/2 yrs of loyalty.  She was a great loyal family pet and will be dearly missed. I saw a creamy pup and thought of my momma. She was perfect! I couldnt believe it when my mom saw her. Heart melted and she squealed! My mom never squeals..lol. She's iron clad! Lol. But she's happy --her name is Candy. Gianna wanted a pup for sometime as well. I didnt think she'd take it serious enough. Then watching her with Candy made me re-think. So we found the lady and got Gianna a black pup. They are sisters --neighbors too now! Bubba our boxer is in female overload shock!  They are hilarious to watch. They are huge pups at 5 1/2 weeks. they look like bears. Beautiful coats and the chunkiest things. We named the black one "Chunk" or in least Gianna did. They have bonded very well.  I'm having to work on her papertraining and housebreaking during the day. She's doing quite well. So is her sister Candy who lives with my mom in her house in the back. Seeing my mom filled with joy after a difficult past year of losing her mum-my gramma, and her sister, then beautiful Viva. It was well worth it. Seeing her happy and my teen happy is the best gift of all a daughter and mom could ask for. Goooo team!!

Onwards and upwards, yes?
Am driving cones nxt week then the week after will drive out in tandem, with another learner driver, we'll be going all over the parkland of the equine centre, each wth our own 'groom' in attendance, beside us. Should be fun. All I'll be wanting next, is a decent gun dog to sit on the duck board...haha

Today
I shoveled snow and ice for a total of 70 minutes. It was on three different occasions. When my back gets tight, or I am out of breath I walk away.. sunny day about 35 degrees. More snow coming by Sunday!??
These snow shovels do not fit my hand like they used too..
I keep the New Covenant,
when I fail....I am pulled
back into place by HIM.

Good job brother Lon!! I dont think I could shovel snow if my life depended on it. Okay I would in least try. lol. But thats some serious exercise there my friend!!  Thurs stats: KM I: 60 min I am a tired bug. Happy but tired.  I met up with a lady that goes to the womens self defense km class. Lots of ground work. Learning how to stand up while foot is up in defense mode without doing the traditional hands in front of you on the ground to stand up. My right knee is jelly since last week so it took me awhile. But it was very important, so I tried my best. Our instructors were a 2nd degree black belt and a brown belt in KM.  But they are great guys and are very effective in their training techniques. In the end it was ground work with knee up and having to do wrist releases from one partner trying to grab at your wrists. then another yelling hey at you then going at you with a kidney back you had to kick while on ground...then having to do the proper stand up and pummel off and kick another attacker with a kidney bag. whew! It's almost Fry-day so I'm a happy camper! i feel much better about some of the moves each week. I just need to find a partner to test with in 2 months God willing. i am checking off what we are learning in our training booklet I bought. Its funny watching a turtle bug rotate around the floor and attempt to get up properly. Ha! I am a force to be reckoned with ..a shuffling force!! Gooo team!!
