God bless the introvert

My sister-in-law Rachel posted this funny article yesterday about introverts. If you are an introvert or have one in your life you should check it out. I am married to the biggest introvert of all! The last part made me laugh..

How can I let the introvert in my life know that I support him and respect his choice? First, recognize that it's not a choice. It's not a lifestyle. It's an orientation.
Second, when you see an introvert lost in thought, don't say "What's the matter?" or "Are you all right?"
Third, don't say anything else, either.

So true!

75 down

I'm proud to say I've actually done 75 workouts since the start of the year. That means I need to do 25 more before July 1st. I'm hoping to start June with 22 to go, so if I'm consistent I should be able to make it. A had a bad week or two and thought it was over but I'm glad I've pulled it together and stuck with it. It's all downhill from here!

The Things We Remember

Today at the gym I went back to my locker between cardio and weights to put away my headphones. For the life of me, I couldn't remember my lock combination. I could, however, remember my lock combination from the first lock I had all the way back in grade seven...27-8-50. I tried it over and over, but not a big shock that it didn't work. So I went out to do my weights preparing myself for a trip to the front desk to ask if they could cut my lock. But somewhere around the leg press, I visualized myself doing the combination, and the real one came back to me. Thankfully a few minutes later it worked. Why, of all the things stored in my memory, is my grade seven lock combination still there? It fascinates me!
