Guilt & Frustration

February16

I feel a bit guilty.

I didn’t go workout at the Y at all last week. My cough that I’ve had from my cold made it very uncomfortable to talk a walk much less work out on the treadmill or elliptical machine. I’m still coughing a little but I think I will try to make at least 3 days this week.

And sitting right next to my guilt is my frustration. I’ve felt a lot of frustration this week because a couple of my web projects have stalled due to lack of content. I think it’s time for me to move on. I can only poke and prod a person to do something for so long.

In other news, we’ve signed my son up for soccer and he will start doing that next month. He really needs the exercise after being cooped up in the house pretty much all winter long.

The temperature around here has been pretty warm actually. Even though the weather here in Texas can be pretty unpredictable we almost always get a warm period in February before it freezes one more time.

In any case, I’m looking forward to next month for two reasons. One, it will be the start of spring, and two I have a one-year anniversary coming up and that makes me pretty happy.

An Unintended Fresh Start

January27

First off, I apologize to the few people who try to read my blog and found it deleted… again. It wasn’t on purpose this time. I tried to update my Wordpress installation without doing the necessary backups first and lost the few entries I had.

Lesson learned and I will backup this site on a regular basis. And hopefully write here too.

Things have been a little tough. Haven’t they been for everyone? Money is tight and I’m still working to get my portfolio. I have some websites I’m working on that I will be able to put up as well as some free resources that may help market myself out there a little bit.

My family has joined the YMCA and I started going Monday. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it today with the bad weather, but I’m really excited about going. I go and plan to go every weekday after I take my son to school. Next weekend I think we are going to try to learn some weight training to add to our regimen.

Nothing else new is going on that is really note worthy but maybe soon I will have more to talk about.
