Well, apparently what the doctor thinks is happening is that all of the pain killers I had to take for my tooth wore away at the lining of my stomach.

So... I get to go take some acid production inhibitor and we'll see if that does anything. I'm also pondering eating not much more than broth since pretty much everything else hurts. Bleh.

I'd really just like to feel better. That would be nice. I mean... I'd like to got a month without having some sort of health issue because I haven't been able to do that in awhile.

I'm going to start going to kendo kata next week and whether or not I enjoy that, I think will be the deciding factor on if I keep it up or not. The people at the dojo are very, very nice but there is something about this that just hasn't clicked with me. When I was taking karate, I wanted to go. With kendo, I'm having to really gear up for it mentally and not in a positive way. So, I'll see if kata changes my perspective.

I need to go to the gym and cancel my membership because I'm moving, among other things, like just not going. I need to also buy a jump rope and look into some other things. I've got an exercise plan for when I move and I need to actually stick to it but I think I can manage it. I shall see. As shall all of you, of course.

There was something else I was going to say here and I can't remember what it was. Maybe I'll remember later.

I know! I did Tae-Bo for awhile when I lived by myself. That stuff is /hard/. I was thinking about getting those back too.

I want to try the Pilates thing because of what it does for you, with the strengthening core muscles and changing body shape. I want to try it out and see how it goes.

Ha! That's cool, it's like the dirty little workout that works but people have a hard time admitting to :) I was thinking about trying the new "Boot Camp" one that he did.

You know you should look in to Capoeira, I used to do it in tandem with taiko, but after I was performing almost full-time with taiko I had to stop doing it a much. I recall there was a really good teacher in Seattle...Barrao? I think. If you want something that will work the CRAP out of your core group and improved both flexibility and strength, check it out.

I've always thought about that but it's always been a bit intimidating. I mean... that's intense stuff, you know? I know there is a good teacher out here and I'll be living near it when I move but.... I don't know if I'm .... up for that at the place I'm at physically....

Windsor Pilates - Leigh's done it & likes it.

Also, the workouts from www.beachbody.com are good for ya.

Sweet. I'll have to talk to Leigh about that some. I was planning on asking her about what she was doing, since she seems to have something good going on.

*nods* She hasn't been doing too good since new year's (due to allergies, sickness and general malaise), but whe she's doing it it works her ass off (literally!!!).

I know Jen Wolfe gave it a go too, so you can ask her about it as well.

*nods* I'd noticed the results. That's why I wanted to talk to her about it. I'll see about talking to Jen, too.
