Austen-a-thon 2011 part 2
First of all--holy CRAP was I sore this morning! So I decided to do the shoulders & arms workout today... I bet I won't be able to lift my arms above my chest tomorrow T_T I'm still sore, especially whenever I get up and walk around after sitting. I think I probably need to stretch more... but I'm doing more ab exercises and cardio again tomorrow, so I think I'm just going to be in a perpetual state of soreness for the next few weeks T_T
Took my measurements today out of curiosity... apparently my waist is 2" bigger than what is preferred for models :P The model thing isn't what bothers me though--size charts are sizing me at being a 5/6 when I'm a size 4 T_T Everything is making me feel fat today. And when I think of how much further I have to go to finally get a beach-ready body, it just seems like a long, long journey... T_T
Anyhow, going to forget about things like that for now while I talk about more Jane Austen. Forgot to d/l Persuasion (1995) last night [oops] so I watched Northanger Abbey instead.
* Sense & Sensibility (2008) - very good adaptation! I realized how much I admire Elinor when watching it, and teared up whenever the emotions overtook her features. To have such a strong will and sense of filial duty... she's really admirable :] The scene at the end where she just cannot contain her feelings anymore was a tearjerker--wonderful ending :]
* Northanger Abbey (2007) - this is the only one I have watched that I have not read the novel for prior to viewing... and I liked it a lot! Large amount of obvious parody and humor, very enjoyable. I loved how sarcastic the lead male character was, and found Catherine very endearing. Very cute. ♥
Off to bed so I can wake up at 8 and torture my muscles/cardio system more... =_=;
