I bet you thought I had given this up! \u00a0It seems like I have been so busy running around planning lessons that I don’t have any time to blog. \u00a0Luckily for the blog (and unluckily for her) Kuniko is working late(r) this week and I’ll have some time here and there to write a bit.<\/p>\n
Work continues to be busy, and I really like the group of students that I have this term. \u00a0All of them are motivated and are showing up to classes each and every time. \u00a0Sometimes I wouldn’t mind an odd cancellation to get ahead on planning and other work, but it is good to be busy.<\/p>\n
One big event happened today – I received the results for my recent company medical check. \u00a0I was looking forward to seeing the results of my blood work. \u00a0Last year at this time I got a cholesterol reading that was getting close to out of normal – I was still in the safe zone, but it said that I should be careful as I ease into my forties.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately this time around my cholesterol was well into the risky zone, so it is time for a change in strategy. \u00a0I know that I’m pretty good about what I eat – red meat about once a month, and we eat vegetarian between three and four days a week. \u00a0Instead I’m going to focus on more exercise. \u00a0I’ve been riding the exercise bike every day for 30 minutes, and I’ll keep that up through winter and into spring. \u00a0I also bought some vitamins and fish oil, and in combination with the fiber packs I’ve been dumping into my morning coffee every day I should be seeing some improvement.<\/p>\n
Other than that, life is going pretty well. \u00a0I’ve got plans to meet up with Antoine, Yoshi, some ex-students, all before the end of this month. \u00a0Maybe my partying lifestyle is the root of all this…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
