Valuable liquid life.

Hi!  A quick post to let you know I haven't fallen off the fitness wagon!  ;)  Those fitness wagons are hard to catch so good thing.  This week I ran on the 1st and 3rd, took the 4th off, and then yesterday threw me off a little because I randomly decided to give blood (No I did not sell it!  The plasma place has left town...I think.)  I'd never thought about blood as valuable, like, my blood having value to someone else; like for example I'd never thought about preemie babies needing it..one of the groups mentioned on the Red Cross booklet they have you read pre-donation.  Yesterday my mind realized that "YES, what is circulating in me is VERY valuable!  Blood, how I've taken you for granted all these years!"

Good news to self: no more failing the iron test!  I always do!  But my Blood Type Diet says "Say YES to red meat!"  Yes, please!  Love beef from local, well-tended cows.

So..mooooving on.  I scarfed down the sloppy joe the blood people offered me (probably not from a happy cow)  :(  and my body felt a little less full.  It was!  (I wonder how much that blood weighed!  Docs, do you know the answer?)  Drank fluids, ate spinach, drank fluids, ate calzone, fluids...  But afternoon exercise was replaced with a recovery nap.  Then at 10 pm it was time to do Yoga!  At 11 pm I had a dance party by myself and C & C Music Factory, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson... then shower and bed. A good day.

Today was the first Zumba class at the Athens Community Center for the New Year, but the class was full!  Totally disappointed I was.  I have a punch card to the ACC and so I did go running for 35 minutes.  Not too fast, just steady.  Like a turtle.  I am a turtle.
