You've been "retained".

Wow! Glad to have heard that! My boss called me this morning (yes - while I was on vacation, no less) and started the conversation by telling me that there has been a large surplus which has affected all levels of management; including ours, and that our team was affected. So after practically not getting a raise this year... and now this... my mind was racing! THEN she tells me "but I wanted to let you know that you've been retained". WTF? Who says that!? She couldn't say - don't worry - you didn't get laid off... or something to that affect. But no, I've been equated to a piece of property if felt like. Probably not her choice of words though. In any case, a big relief mostly... also anxiety because we're already overloaded so now we'll have more work to do to cover that person's portfolio. Wonder who was let go... :-\

Where did THAT come from!?

Yes my friends... that... is a bicep. There's also some tricep showing and that forearm wasn't there either. I'm still stalled a bit at 138 lbs, but I also dipped down to 134 a month or so ago and was able to regain those lost pounds. I'm inching towards 140 and I'm still reaching for that goal of 150. I've learned new crunch techniques for my abs, and learned how to use the BoSu for my chest (which also works the abs at the same time). The gym is my sanctuary and boys are staring a bit longer than they were before. :-P

Oh... and the ass is fillin' out too. Who knew - skinny white boys can get an ass! Oh, and as for yoga... lets just say, my balance and focus is getting much better. I can now do Crow (pictured) without falling. Furthermore, I can push back/launch myself into Plank and move down into my Vinyasa after. The next step would be to go into a headstand from Crow, then come back down into Crow, and then push back into Plank. I'm getting so excited and confident with my Yoga practice. Each session brings me more positive energy and I leave each time renewed and ready for more. I can't wait for more! Our instructor just returned from India as well, so I'm eager to tap his new found Yoga practices!!
