So camping was fun. We had a blast and even though our air mattress popped, for two nights- we survived. Since then, things have been quite busy around here, as summers typically get. We've had family picnics, parties with friends and other events that have kept our weekends swamped so I haven't had much time to put together a blog post. I do have a recipe I want to share, but I'm perfecting it.
In the meantime, I also started up kickboxing again. Those that know me, know that I used to take a kickboxing class a couple times of week before I had a major operation/health issue last year. It's been hard getting back into since for a couple of reasons. I put on more than few pounds because I haven't been all that active since the surgery. The other thing I notice is that my stamina isn't what it used to be. I used to be able to do 50 push ups and 100 crunches after a full cardio workout no problem. Now, I'm lucky if I can make it through the cardio part, let alone the lone 10 push ups I can do. I know I'll get back to where I was, but it's so frustrating because I know what I used to be able to do. I know there are more than a few of you out there that can relate. So I've been trying to watch what I eat and I'm starting out slow with the classes, once a week, and trying to do other active things in the meantime.
I also have time for a quick book review update. I just finished Swamplandia! By Karen Russell. This type of book isn't normally my thing. It had a hint of science fiction to it, but I thought it was well written. It's a good summer read.
