Working out
Yesterday I had to cut my jog short so when I got a chance later I tried the treadmill at the hotel. The treadmill felt really good and plus I was inspired by the England-Ecuador soccer game was on at the same time as my workout. The treadmill interface was good too, and it was all in kilometers! Now I know my cruising speed is about 8.5 km\hr. I really want to get one for our apartment, but I think it will take up too much space.
I saw the next soccer game, Portugal vs Holland in our hotel room during dinner with jordi and cesar. We had picked up some Thai take-out and they brought the wine. Spanish wine of course, to support their country. We got to talking about working out and fitness, and Cesar wanted to know how to win the battle of the bulge. We ended up explaining a lot about nutrition, the Atkins diet (yuk!), target heart rate, aerobic and anaerobic workouts, and our favourite ab routines. Kendrick enthusiastically started explaining the Kreb's cycle to Cesar but I had to cut it short - too much information! The guy just wants a flat stomach. Don't we all?
I just booked two vacation slots. One is for a quick trip to Italy where my friend Annie is getting married. I'm actually missing the wedding because it's on a Tuesday and I have to do some training, but I'll see her on the weekend before. The embarrassing thing is that when I went to book the Friday off, I automatically assumed it was a North American week setup, starting with Sunday and ending on Saturday. In Denmark they start on a Monday and end on a Sunday. So I ended up booking a vacation day on a Saturday. Whoops!
The second vacation slot is for my wedding (Sept29-Oct14). After some discussion, Kendrick and I decided that we would come home for the wedding and go straight back to Denmark afterwards. Our honeymoon will be delayed until we figure out Kendrick's work schedule for Oct-Dec. He'll be doing most of his traveling after the wedding so we'll probably just pick a place that his job brings him. He had to split up the global regions with jordi so I think some of the possible destinations include: Japan, France, Australia, Scandinavia, Southeast Asia, and India. Brazil used to be on that list until they kaiboshed that region in favour of the rest of Spanish speaking Latin America, which is jordi's domain. It's as if the two of them were playing a game of Risk as they divvied up the world!

I think it's great that you're so health-conscious. It's something I've tried (at various points in my life) to do. One of the things that keeps me from exercising now is the fact that virtually everyone within range of my apartment is my student, a relative of a student, or the friend of a relative of a student. I don't want to have the details of everything I do being discussed at school. It's bad enough that they know everything I eat.
I also consider a week to start on Monday and end on Sunday! That's how I write up my weekly status reports at work. ^__^
