A Reset Already?

I need a reset.

For the last couple of weeks I have had walking pneumonia. I didn’t know it until a week ago.  Coughing up lung butter makes exercising a little difficult.  I went to my TEAM fitness classes a couple of times and since my trainer Liz was going through a similar sickness, she took a little pity on my and let me take it easy (she is pretty awesome).  After going to urgent care last Friday and getting properly diagnosed and a prescription for a Z-Pack, I decided to skip a couple of classes and to focus on getting better.

I do feel better, but not 100% yet.  I am heading to my TEAM fitness class this morning, so we will see how that goes.  I need to also get my eating back in order.

So, that is what I mean by a reset.  I need to start over today and refocus.

Project CJ40 – My Midlife Crisis

I’m having a mid-life crisis.  Not the kind where I am going delusional about turning 40 (this coming July) and buying a sports car or boat would make me think I am less creepy to the 20-something crowd.  No, this is my own personal mid-life crisis that I have battled since my early 20s…my fat ass.  Ok…that may be a bit over the top, but I am sick of not feeling comfortable in my own body.  I am done.

I Call it a “Talent Show”

I’ll start this entry like an old man…

When I was a kid we had talent shows at school!  There were winners and losers.   And we liked it!  Today, we have variety shows at our schools.  There are tryouts, but I think that is so they can make sure no one does a 2 Live Crew song.  Everyone gets in and each kid can do up to 2 performances which makes for a very long show.  My son Jake did two numbers at this year’s variety show.  The first one is with his friend Sam. I broke his high hat off of his electric drum kit right before the show…nice work Clay!

The first number is original and the second is Jake singing and playing “Wonderwall” by Oasis.
