Here we go again....

So, it all starts again today!
First thing, I would like to thank everyone who read my last post and responded to it. Many people wrote to me in private emails that it took a lot courage for me to write that for everyone to read: but, for me, it is good for me to get it all out there. I have found that people have put lots of expectations on me and it is good for these people to see that I am not infallible, and what's more, is it is good for me to purge myself of all of this! I was never one to write in journals or anything, but this has really been rather liberating!
Now, back to business. I am trying very hard to take everyone's advice of easing back in to it and to rest more than I have allowed myself in the past. So, I started this morning. I had set my alarm to wake up to go to the morning spin class, but actually decided against it and kept on sleeping instead. Good idea! I went to judo at Sensei Dave's club. Had a pretty good practice, was a exhausted though. He made me go right back to the beginning and work on hip throws. This was good for me.... I need to go back to basics again and build up all over again. I had fun... we got tod o a bunch of ne-waza (ground fighting) which is my favourite. Also, it was very nice to watch Chris get his black belt this morning. I am looking forward to the day I get mine!
Then, I went to the gym to have a session with Jesus. I ended up not only talking to him, but also to Krystal. Both of them convinced me that I am not eating enough and not resting enough and that is why I am still walking around so heavy. You see, the amount that I work out should have made me thirty pounds lighter like a year ago, but I am not fueling properly nor am I resting properly. They really laid into me about this. I need that though.
Going to be getting a program from Jesus, it is going to suck! But, all of you reading this who know me, know that I will follow it to a tee! I am looking for activity partners to work out with me while I do this over the summer, so any of you who would like to do this, please let me know! A few of you already have, and I am excited!
Anyhow, when i finished at the gym, I walked home, slept and worked on report cards!
18 days left to go until SUMMERTIME!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!!!

Why are you confused?
It was quite an experience!
I was totally schooled... I originally didn't want to talk about it... but I thought that maybe my sharing would help others.... took alot to write about it?
And who is JC?
