Just when I was excited it`s almost Friday...

I remember I`m going on a camping trip for work this weekend :(
I`m sure parts of it will be fun, but in all honesty I`ll be glad to get home Monday evening!

This week has been ok. I think I`ve done fairly well on all my goals except studying. I haven`t studied at all! I need to start a countdown to the test in July so that I`ll be a little more motivated.

As for my other goals:
Running - I have jogged every morning until today. This morning I just couldn`t get out of bed. I have been feeling that way around Thursday for awhile now. Thursday is also my longest work day so I think my body just dreads the day altogether.

Eating - I feel like I`ve doing pretty good on eating. My only real problem is that I made slutty brownies on Tuesday night and every time I see the pan on my counter I think I have to have a little piece. Fortunately they`re so rich I can`t stand to eat more than a couple of bites.

Cleaning - I got a bit done this week. My house is still nowhere where I want it to be, but I have next Tuesday and Wednesday off so I`m hoping to get some stuff done!

Next week is the Golden Week holiday here. GW is a week where several holidays fall near each other and if the calendar falls right you can get several days in a row off! My classroom`s policy is to have 4 classes per month per day and in May there just happen to be 5 Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. So next week the actual holidays are Monday, Thursday and Friday, but since we can make up the days later in the month we decided to close the class on Tuesday and Wednesday too. That means from Saturday the 28th until Sunday the 6th I am off, except for the camp on the 28-30. From the 3rd Koichi and I are heading to Tokyo to see his sister`s family and his aunt and uncle. I`m pretty excited because I haven`t been to Tokyo too many times and since his sister lives in the area she can probably take us to some cool places!

This week`s goals

Goal #1 - run It`s Monday morning here and I`ve got my first run of the week done! My goal is to get out and run everyday this week M-F and maybe on Saturday too. From Saturday I`m going on a 2 night camping trip with 14 students from the English conversation school where I work. I`m hoping it will be fun, but who knows... This morning I set my alarm for 6:00 to get out and run before Koichi woke up, but that didn`t happen. I ended up getting out of bed around 7:40. I made breakfast so Koichi could eat and then I packed his lunch while snacking on the watermelon that wouldn`t fit in his lunch box. I considered not running since it was already after 8:00. but I decided to just get out there and do it and now I`m glad I did! Goal #2 - eat healthy meals & track food About to make some breakfast now. I`m thinking I`ll make a green smoothie and have 1/4 of an avocado and some sliced tomatoes on the side, may even throw in an egg. Lunch will most likely be chicken taqu...

TGIF

I love Fridays! Thursdays are pretty long for me and I have a few tough classes and then on Friday I have a really easy day with good kids and almost the entire day free. Plus, the weekend is near! Yesterday I was lucky to finish at 4:30 in the afternoon. I had to do some shopping for our upcoming camping trip so I texted my friend Kazuko to see if I could drop by her place. She said yes and I picked up some take out curry and headed over. We had dinner and talked and I played with her kids who are so adorable. It was a nice break from the kids I get to see everyday! I needed to get away from my everyday routine so it was a good visit. Here`s what I`ve got going on today: 1) fold and put away laundry (I`m bad about folding and leaving!) 2) clean kitchen and dining room table 3) Swiffer floors because they`re gritty with volcanic ash 4) exercise at 9:00 (that will make 3 days in a row) 5) Face Time with my sister!! I love planning things to do on the weekends. So far this wee...

Headache -> Cancelled plans

I was supposed to have friends over for a 鍋 (hot-pot) party tonight. I`d invited Kazuko`s family and Miki`s family and we were all looking forward to a fun evening eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Unfortunately I have had a headache since yesterday evening so my plans were cancelled. I thought it would be better when I woke up this morning, but it wasn`t. I went to work at 9:00 for a lesson and thought some coffee would help, but it didn`t. After work I decided to suck it up and go to the gym to work out thinking the exercise would clear my head and take the pain away, but it didn`t. After I came home I discussed with Koichi that I would take some medicine and if my head was still hurting around 3:00pm that I would contact both friends and cancel the evening. Around that time I got a message from Kazuko that her son had a runny nose and that he and her husband would stay home because she didn`t want his germs to spread to Miki`s 8 month old baby. So I made the decision then to g...
