Not quite the Twilight Zone... ;D
So... Gosh. Someone just mentioned that, in the Star Trek universe, Starfleet Academy is located in the Presidio. Here, in San Francisco! Of course, it's not to be built until the 23rd Century. (Yes. Once I heard this, I had to search for it and blog about it.) Check out the image for some fun trivia. ;D
After many weeks of urging from our neighbors, Adam and I joined a gym last night. We didn't have time for much of a workout since we toured the gym and talked with a trainer about goals and such. But, the hour or so of workout that we had (with our neighbors helping us along) really made a difference. This morning, I woke up feeling more energized than I have in a long while.
I don't really have big goals for working out. I mean, I'm not training for anything specific. I just want to get myself in shape--back to the figure I had three or four years ago--and to increase my upper body strength. My not very big goals? For now, they are: (1) Fit into my favorite pair of jeans again. (2) Carry myself across monkey bars.
Tonight, I have a session with a personal trainer (I think it's part of the sign-in) who happens to be an ex-SEAL. Hrm. Is it okay to be a little concerned here? Haha. Maybe I can regale him with embellished tales (they'd have to be) from my [naval submarine] engineering days? Somehow, I think I'll end up doing more repetitions if he loses count...
I'm looking forward to it. ^_^
Soon to come: Knitting updates!!!
