Hoorah!
All of my trekking around D.C. is finally paying off and there is a downward trend in the weight. Yaaaay! I also have uncovered my Wii Balance board (now that my Wii has remembered how to work.) and have been using Wii Fit once again. Man can I feel it now. Before when I did, you know when I was pretty active at the store, I could feel the exertion but not so much the strain. I did some yoga and some cadio and muscles are def feeling stretched.
Finally finished 'Scorpio Races' by m_stiefvater. Was amazing. I'm very picky about my books that are written in first person, that seems to be her preferred method though and I'm fine with that. She's a good writer, and develops her characters really well. It seems to be that first person is an easy crutch for a weaker writer to try and prop their narrative up with, which is why I usually don't like it (though P.G. Wodehouse who is one of my favorite writers ever almost always writes in first person). It is a narrative perspective that only better writers should employ but that so often bad writers use, it is a bit of a litmus test for me. She totally passed with flying colors.
Its a very light fantasy book, mostly it is about standing on one's own two feet. Anyone looking for a good book that involves really neat horses, well here it is.
