Apparently I'm going to have to do something about my blog: recent changes to Blogger have affected the template I've been using. The picture I had as a background to the title of my blog has somehow disappeared. And sadly, I probably don't have the picture available anymore, so I guess I will have to find something else. Oh well.

I'm also needing to do something about myself. We're now into a new month, October, with all the assorted milestone imminently approaching. I will be 37 years old in a few weeks, and my son will turn 1 a few days later. And I am not appreciably lighter nor in any better shape than I was at this point last year, although I was pregnant at the time and am not now. I've basically wasted the whole year "recovering" from pregnancy, with nothing to show for it.

I need to start working out. I'm going to start small; this week I am going to walk or ride my bike to work (except Friday--I have an eye doctor's appointment after school). I'll try walking on Monday. The weather should still be nice (although probably cool in the morning), and I don't have any after-school obligations. Tuesday and Thursday I'll definitely ride my bike; I'm helping sponsor the newspaper, and we meet after school so I'll need to be able to get home more quickly. We'll see about Wednesday; if Monday goes well, maybe I'll walk again.

Let's see if I can get it started.
