This will be draft 3 that I’ve started this morning. I keep trying to come up with relevant things to write about. I am trying to keep this blog at least loosely gravitating around heath/fitness/cooking. But, fact is, there is only so much I can say. None of which made up a whole post on its own. So, here are some quick highlights:
-I tried P90X. I made it 4 weeks through before the 1+ hour long workouts started to feel like torture. Also, I only have about a 40 minute attention span for yoga. However, I did gain some significant flexibility and can now hold crow pose for almost 2 whole seconds. Hey, little victories. Also, I really appreciate taking the time to truly focus on my form and perform my lifts for strength again. I’m not trying to double up on the cardio/lifting thing like P90X had you trying to do. Hello, oly bar squats, so good to see you again.
-I’m really sick of food. I think this probably proves that I’m bad at being a human. Making food, smelling food, having to think of appropriate foods to eat, ugh. Like, at this point I would be totally content to just sit down with a loaf of French bread and go to town. Instead I ate carrots and hummus. +1 mana.
-It has come to my, slightly resentful, attention that I appear to be at the point in life in which Halloween parties are no longer a thing that happens. There has been a nice linear regression since I was about 17 so I guess I managed to drag that out as long as possible. Maybe this is why people do Halloween make-up youtube tutorials. Still get to dress up but then don’t have to deal with the itchy, smudged makeup and scratchy costume all night. Also, you get to sleep. And not socialize. And not have to deal with drunk people. Also, you can read books, in comfy clothes. Sorry, my anti-social is showing. But, honestly, this does make me a bit sad. I still have a very special place in my creepy little heart for Halloween. I guess I’ll just stay home and watch Hocus Pocus.
-Oh, and hey, Winter is on the way. For those of us who live in Northern states, especially college towns, beware the onslaught of Uggs. Seriously, aren’t trends supposed to die out within a year or two? My boyfriend feels that they are just high top moccasins and I don’t think he’s wrong.
-It’s in the high 50’s low 60’s here in Ohio right now. You know what that means? Helloooooo boost weather. Shout out to all my fellow forced induction enthusiasts. And to my fellow AWD family, you know what’s next? Aw, yeah! That slippery white stuff that falls from the sky. Donut dust. Drift glitter. Fun flakes..
-Oh, and Season 11 of Supernatural started. (Pause for fangirl moment…) Also, on a related note, I finally got around to reading Felicia Day’s book. It’s fantastic and hilarious and it made me feel better about myself and I love her more now. You should go read it.
