La Semana Quince: Towards Healthy Living
La Semana Quince: Monday, October 20, 2014 -- 211 lbs (15.8 lbs -- 15 weeks)
Wow...15 weeks and 15.8 lbs. Two memorable trips over the past 15 weeks, Guatemala and then Europe (Portugal, Spain, France). In 10 weeks with God's grace, I will be back in Guatemala to share His love, heart, and hands with those there.
Besides the loss in weight over the past 15 weeks, my lab numbers have improved since the first part of April.
Cholesterol: April 4 -> Sept 30
Total 272 239
Triglycerides 268 251
HDL 41 46 (In Range)
VLDL 54 50
LDL 177 143
Ratio 4.3 3.1 (In Range)
Vitamin D 23.6 46.0
Insulin 23.2 22.6
White blood cell, Hematocrit, and Neutrophils (Absolute) are all still high.
In addition to seeing the general doctor, I also went back to the Sleep Center to review my first month of CPAP usage. I am having no obstructive situations with the machine. I still question, if this is what is really causing my sleep issues. I still wake up throughout the night almost like clock-work. I still feel tired in the afternoon/evening and can sleep real well on the couch in the afternoon/evening. He said that losing some more weight can help and maybe lead to not needing the machine at all. Therefore, we will keep trying to get down closer to my college graduating weight. There is still lots to go though.
And if that was not enough doctor visits, I also went back to the foot doctor. Current diagnosis is anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome. It is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome but in the ankle. It manifests itself on the top of the foot due to tendon across the ankle and front of the foot pinching the nerves down the foot. I have read a bit and the pain in the middle of the 1st and 2nd toe is common with this as well as the tingling when the nerve is hit down the top of the foot. He prescribed some nerve cream which should arrive by Monday and also a suggestion for the physical therapist. We will see what DC has to say on Tuesday and where therapy goes from here.
This past week workouts...
Monday - Flexibility, HPT, and PT (8 mins on the bike, 2.2+ miles; electrode therapy btwn toes; coconut therapy calf, shin, ankle, bottom of foot)
Tuesday - Flexibility and HPT
Wednesday - Flexibility, HPT, PT (8 mins on the bike, 2.2+ miles; electrode therapy btwn toes; coconut therapy calf, shin, ankle, bottom of foot)
Thursday - HPT Partial lots of doctors visits and a very long nights sleep into Friday morning
Friday - HPT, Grocery Shopping, Laundry
Saturday - Walking around Georgetown's campus for homecoming followed by hanging out with KB, CB, and the boys (2 3.5 yr olds and 1 10 months old)
Sunday - Last autocross of the season in Lexington. About 3 miles walked. Last event until next spring is next week.
On Monday evening late, I started getting a sore throat that lasted into Wednesday. By Wednesday afternoon, massive sinus pressure was invading my head/nasal cavity area which lasted throughout Thursday. Mostly clear but some slight yellow discharge.
Well that is one large update for you. Thanks again for all of your support, prayers, and helping me stay accountable.
Until next week, blessings from God!

Saturday Smiles Quince
The Lord is one amazing person and He brings so much to my life. Over the past week, the Lord blessed me with so many wonderful things.
Last weekend, I spent on retreat with 14 high school students and 13 amazing young leaders. Bonds were made that will be shared for times to come, and retreat talks that will definitely resonate for a long time. A post hopefully to come in the near future as an update to Listening to God's Plan.
Another amazing part of last weekend was the time spent out in nature away from all the hustle and bustle of the westernized world. Enjoy a few pictures before reading on....
Thursday evening, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit with a friend, BS, and her two adorable children, AS (7 years) and ES (almost 2 years). We had a lovely dinner and then enjoyed a wonderful time visiting and running some errands as I held little ES and played with AS. The other amazing thing is this gathering hopefully is just a start to a renewed friendship and fellowship with one another after many years of busy lives and miles apart.
Children always put such a smile on my face. How can they not? Another quick story from last weekend...Friday night, we stopped for dinner on our way to retreat and the youth ministers extended family joined us including one of his little nephews. He was such an adorable little thing having the best time with his uncle.
These were wonderful opportunities for me to spend/see some little ones, since I have not had the opportunity to see my friends and their twin boys in almost two months and unfortunately wont see them for few more weeks.
How has God touched your life this past week? What joys and happiness have you found in the nature, animals, and people of this world? May God continue to touch your life and bring you hope and happiness.

Saturday Smiles Trece
Friends, Family, Relationships
Twelve years ago, I graduated from college and last Saturday, I attended Homecoming activities for the 13th consecutive year since graduation. Why do I attend year after year even though the people I know in attendance often is minimal? Because you never know who might decide to come in that year. This year was again no exception. I reconnected with some great folks and had wonderful conversations with classmates, professors, and new staff members. One connection with a development officer led to a lunch meeting on Thursday and what I foresee to be the starts of a great relationship and potential opportunities to share my talents and passions with my alma mater. If anything, it continued to send me down this new path of discernment for my life.
After attending Homecoming festivities, I drove to my hometown to spend time my family and share in the joy of my cousin’s newest child being baptized into the Catholic Church. Children are such a blessing in our lives, not only did I share in the baptism but enjoyed watching several little one’s play and have fun. A great pleasure since I have not had the opportunity to visit my other friends and their little boys in a good while.
Additionally, I spent some time with my paternal grandparents, who are not in the best of condition. This is actually something that is very hard for me to do as I want to remember them in their good days. My grandfather’s alzheimer’s is pretty bad as he has little to know recollection of who I am. My grandmother on the other hand still has great long term memory but struggles with short term memory. He recently turned 90 and my grandmother turns 89 this coming week. They have lived some good years and may they have more to come.
The Lord is also working through the young professionals ministry started at my church. We continue to bring in new folks and those in attendance seem to really be enjoying the spiritual journey with Christ and developing new relationships with one another. May God continue to bless and guide this group as we grow and seek His guidance.
In the coming weeks, I look forward to additional conversations with people whom I have recently reconnected and sharing my journey and listening to theirs since we last gathered. And building upon and deepening new friendships and relationships gained over the past year with some fantastic individuals.
How has God touched your life this week and brought a smile to your face and heart? Don’t forget to check out Journal of a Nobody’s weekly Saturday Smiles as well.

GeoCities Closing October 26, 2009
The internet came to life and we went out and created our first websites. The summer of 1998 was my first website attempt. The graphics and design were simple as there were no set templates to use. The intention was to create a site from one's own knowledge of html and abilities. We worked with one another to expand our html knowledge and create slightly more advanced sites.
One of my favorite options was the chat function. I enjoyed several chats with Georgetown friends as they were all across the country during the summer of 1998. The other exciting features were the counter and guestbook. Today those features are just basics to any site.
Check out the original website one last time before GeoCities closes October 26, 2009: Robin's Home Page

What a Weekend
First of all thanks to all of those who allowed me to visit and/or stay with them this weekend. It was awesome to see each and everyone of you.
For those I did not see especially those ill, I hope you get to feeling better soon and do not worry as this story continues, you will see I will be back maybe sooner than later.
Here are just a few of the highlights:
Congrats and Best Wishes to Dr. French! He served Georgetown proudly for 33 years and all of his fellow humans will never forget the compassion and love he showed for each of his students. By the way class starts at 9:30 Naval Observatory Time, you better set your watches appropriately. It was wonderful to see and catch up with professors, staff, and alumni.
Saturday was my first experience of Thunder over Louisville at least that I can remember. I did not actually head downtown for Thunder, but I did catch it on the TV at my friends, RJ squared. It was a lovely production and maybe one day I will venture down to the river to witness it first hand.
Autocross season is HERE. Though a very rainy, rainy day, I enjoyed my first autocross of the season and am now trying to rationalize going to EKU next weekend. Or maybe I should check out the rest of the month and rationalize another event. Either way, I really do not know if I can wait until June to race again. Also if I plan on being in anyway competitive this season, I must practice.
My overall results were not stellar today. I finished 28 out of 34 cars with my second run being the best of 5. The car was quite impressive and stayed under me plus no cones were taken out. The braking before the turns seemed to be good but the line was not all that smooth. The key to improvement is practice and driving the car approximately 300 miles a month is not very good practice.
Children, Children, and more Children The cute little ones of all of my friends was a joy to be around this weekend. I definitely had a good fill of children this weekend though very glad when mom, dad, and grandma were around to take care of the dirty diapers. :-)
Those are just a few of the many highlights from this weekend.
Please keep me in your thoughts this week as I prepare for a large event on Saturday.

Basketball Madness Before March
Last weekend was full of basketball.
Transylvania hosted the men's and women's HCAC Division III basketball tournament, which was great but not great. Not great because Franklin men had a chance to host the tournament had they defeated Defiance the week before. Great because I was headed to Lexington anyway that weekend therefore I could actually watch the games.
Friday at Transylvania
- Franklin women were defeated by Transy in the semifinal game during the early afternoon.
- Franklin men revenged the loss to Defiance to gain a final berth.
I enjoyed watching the second half of the game, unfortunately I was unable to leave in time to watch the full game or the women play.
Saturday Basketball
The afternoon started off with a nice walk from Transy to Rupp Arena to watch the UK vs LSU game. Reminder section 231 is a standing section, but I had a wonderful time with friends and Father. Unfortunately, the end result was not so great.
Previous post mentions the great dinner I had at Sawyers before walking back to Transy in the sleet/freezing rain to watch the Franklin vs Transy men's game, again an exciting game but one with unfortunate results. Franklin loss at the end.
March Basketball
A blessing in disguise may be at hand. With all the work ahead of me, I have not been watching a lot of basketball minus last weekend and doubt a lot will be watched in the upcoming weeks. Therefore, I will not be saddened by the fact the majority of my teams will most likely be missing from the tournament and keep on losing. I wish them all the best.
GO TIGERS!!!! They play tomorrow in the championship of the NAIA MSC in Frankfort.

A Month Later - Lots of Things Happening
Wow...this has turned out to be one crazy but fun semester. I will attempt to touch on some highlights of the last multitude of weeks, without boring you too much.
In five weeks, I have made 4 trips to Kentucky, 1 to Indy/Cleveland/Chicago/Indy, and 2 to Indianapolis. This is the first weekend in the last five weeks that I will not be leaving town, though on Wednesday I will depart for Western Kentucky for Thanksgiving.
Kentucky
* UK vs LSU Football game and Georgetown's Homecoming - Both of which turned out to be wonderful opportunities and experiences. I will post a picture or two of the game in another post.
* A couple from YAACK and two friends of mine got married on Oct 20 at Christ the King. It turned out to be a beautiful weekend for a fall wedding, and I was honored to be apart of the wedding as a reader. I am just thankful that I still had a voice on Saturday and was not too sick with a cold at that point in time. God was watching over everything.
* Halloween night provided a quick trip to KY for the Georgetown College vs University of Louisville basketball game. Thanks to a friend of mine who invited me to join her and her husband for the game. I was proudly wearing my orange and black in support of the Tigers. The game did not prove to be as exciting as the previous years but it was still nice to watch the Alma Mater and attend my first game in Freedom Hall.
* Last trip was to celebrate my friend Chris's 30th Birthday party. I had to make sure he rang his 30th birthday in right :-)
Cleveland (Indianapolis/Chicago)
* Between the wedding weekend and the birthday weekend, I attended a conference in Cleveland, Ohio. Travels took me to Indy with a return flight through Chicago. The conference was very small and different from other conferences that I have attended in the past. It was the History of Education Society and programs are base more on paper submissions with panel discussions.
The purpose of attending the conference was to present a paper on faculty governance. My previous supervisor, our spring practicum student, and I put together a paper on faculty governance at IU, which we then presented on a panel with two other papers on the history of faculty governance. The panel presentation went very well, except for unlike the wedding, the cold was a bit worse and affecting my voice. We received some good feedback from the panel discussant and others in the audience. I will update you more in the future on how things progress towards potential publishing of some of our work in the future. There are no guarantees at this time, but we are looking to publish a journal article somewhere.
Indianapolis
* Both trips were for the same reason, but instead of staying in Indy, I went with others back and forth last weekend for another conference. This conference was specifically for graduate students in higher education student affairs programs in the midwest. IU and our student personnel association was the host of the conference this year. A friend of mine was the chair of the conference and did a fantastic job of putting together a nice conference. On Sunday of the conference, I presented a program on leadership, which went fairly well though could have been better. It was definitely a learning opportunity and the start of what will hopefully be further program presentations on leadership.
This Weekend
* IU vs Purdue Football Game - Tomorrow, I will attend my first Big Ten and IU football game and tailgate. I did attend one other tailgate at the beginning of the semester but this will be my first full blown experience of Big Ten football. I am looking forward to it, as long as I get a few hours of sleep tonight.
Well there are some of the highlights from the past 5 weeks. I will try to post a few more stories soon.

UK Wildcats - Football and Basketball
Basketball season hopefully will be as exciting as football season has been this year with both Kentucky and Indiana accomplishing grand things. The question is will I actually get to see the UK/IU game in person in my own backyard. The hype around Indiana basketball sent the students running for tickets this year, with over 9600 tickets being sold and only 8000 spots to seat them. Therefore, two games are going to be pulled from everyone's package. What two games will be pulled from my package? I just have to sit and patiently wait for another 2.5 weeks for the tickets to arrive in my mailbox. With my luck, I am preparing to not see a UK/IU game ticket in my package, therefore I can be highly surprised when it appears or less disappointed when it doesn't. This was truly my fear if the game was actually held here in Bloomington.
Brighter things, I do have two tickets to Saturday's UK football game against LSU, though in the LSU fan section :-) A grad friend and LSU alum had two tickets, the person previously going with her backed out and so I took his spot. Then she unfortunately found out that she has to have reconstructive surgery on her knee tomorrow and will not be able to attend the game. So she gave them to me to enjoy, and I am looking forward to having fun with a friend and enjoying watching the Wildcats defeat the Tigers.
This means that I might actually get to attend part of Georgetown's Homecoming, therefore not missing my first homecoming ever. Though, I will definitely miss my first Songfest at least since my sophomore year. Though I am pretty sure that I attended freshman year as well. I vaguely remember standing in line outside two years in a row before actually participating the last 2 years.
