(no subject)
Long time no log, lj.
Today I kind of wanted to write out about how I've had a growing aspiration that may finally break my procrastination streak.
It's a common one, so don't go holding your breath.
Yeah, I totally want to get in shape. Like most of the North American continent.
So I'll start with wanting to keep track of the things I do, and hope to get into a habit of doing it.
I know for a fact I bike from home to work every day, which isn't so as long as it is difficult. I bike about 3.5km a day, up hill, both ways. And it used to be that I'd huff and puff and need to pause at the top of the hill to catch my breath. I've found myself able to best the hill without so much as a thought for rest, this past month, and I've only felt better, the more I do it.
From this point in my aspirations, I look to do some spot training, since I know my legs are the strongest muscle groups in my body. I'd like to start with push-ups and crunches, since I've always been unimpressed with my weak biceps and would really like to smooth out the feminine curve I seem to have grown. Eugh. Girlymuffintops.
Anyhow- from there, I've been taking time on the weekends to go on a hike through the back trails, and have thrown in some off-the-beaten-path burst sprints. I like to leap over the roots and crap, but I should always be careful, since, well- a fall could be painful, not to mention the frailty of the human body.
While I'm out and about, I also take the time to climb this one large tree- I have a red handkerchief, which I tie to whichever branch I make it to that day, it's not so much that I aim to climb toodamnhigh, just that I find it strengthens my arms. Note to self: get gloves. The callouses on my hands are distracting when I'm bored at work.
Apart from all this meathead mumbo-jumbo, I've been doing a lot of sketch dumps. I don't think I've posted many of them on deviantart, so I'll just be leaving them here to look at.
Also: warning, because image heavy.
And now I have to run off to work. Good day!
