Hey all:
Well a lot has happened since I last wrote on here so I'll try to sum up the important things.
--had a nice time during my venture to Michigan...it was a nice break from several things back here in Iowa
--I've been able to keep up with reading (for pleasure). I'm currently on the 5th book in the "Dark Tower" series by Stephen King. The 4th book was tough to read sometimes since I found it boring at times but the 5th book is fairly decent so far.
--I've also read several of Augusten Burroughs' books too. The only book I have a criticism about is "Dry", his book about his alcoholism. I appreciate him writing about his battle but the book was not a great read for me. I'm taking a break from him for a bit.
--I'm supposed to be reading a book called "Crazy Love" for a bible study at church. I haven't really gotten into that book either. I'm probably behind with reading since I've not attended the bible study recently. It's been tough to get down to Ankeny for the 7pm meetings on Thursdays since I also have Swim & Gym those evenings too. I'm usually too tired to drive let alone pay attention.
--I'm in the half way point of the research study at ISU (weight loss). I've not been very impressed so far. My health coach is an undergraduate student in Kinesiology but she doesn't seem extremely proficient. Her people skills need some improvement since the appointments with her lack energy. The one I had today was pointless....I'm not even sure why we met.
--One of the biggest goals associated with the weight loss study is the amount of protein in my diet. I've been trying to eat more....we all know that meat isn't my favorite thing. I got some pistachios and I'm trying to eat cottage cheese too. I need to use some of the recipes on here and elsewhere for chicken since I have oodles of that in my freezer.
--I'm actually quite excited to bike outside. Gavin's bike is going to be brought back to Ames (stored in Jon's garage for the winter) and my bike needs to be serviced so I'm going to walk it to the local bike shop.
Sadly I thought I had more to say but I don't right now. It doesn't help that it's 2:30am. Until next time!

I'm glad you blogged. I like the way you list things rather than put it all in paragraph form. I don't foresee myself reading The Dark Tower series. I read the first one a long time ago. I'm not sure I'll be reading much more from Burroughs either. I have too many others on my list. I'm not really lacking reading material.
That's too bad about your study. It had such good prospects. Maybe you can share your thoughts with the post-study evaluation? Your bible study book sounds interesting. Having night commitments are hard - the day usually tires me out, so I just want to stay home and chill. By the way, you can probably count me out for that retreat. Too much going on and I want to keep my weekend. Sorry. I appreciate the offer though.
Yay for spring weather and the outdoor activities that go with it.
Yay for blogging! Sorry that the end of your trip out to Michigan got cut short. I hope the wait at the airport wasn't miserable.
I'm also sorry that your study hasn't been as wonderful as you had hoped. It's always sad when that kind of stuff doesn't work out the way we want it too.
I told my dad that you were reading the Dark Tower books and he was very excited!
I hope you guys are able to enjoy the spring weather that's been popping up!
