So it's been a few weeks and NaNoWriMo is done. Which is great. This year was kind of weird. I felt really unmotivated and getting my words in was really hard and I really felt like I didn't know where I was going with the piece. I don't know what's been happening with me writing wise recently but this entire year has been kind of a bust in that ( Read more... )

So I've never considered myself a bony person. I'm not fat but I'm really skinny. I mean not like in that BONY way. Erm. Ok ( Read more... )

- I am super tired. It's 8:30pm and I'm wiped out. It's probably because I got up at 8 to work out at 9:30 and then took a five hour practice test around one (to stimulate testing conditions ( Read more... )

Some thoughts so far as my MCAT looms ever closer. Like an asteroid about to hit the earth. In this situation I am hoping to be Liv Tyler safely on Earth and not Bruce Willis being blown up.

1. Front and side splits. I'm so close but yet so far!
2. Going back into and recovering from a bridge. Thus far I can get into a bridge from the floor ( Read more... )

So I have been doing Crossfit (technically Torque Athletics because they aren't officially affiliated with Crossfit (TM)) for over a month now and it's crazy the kind of experiences I've been having with my body now that I'm working out all of it. Previously when I'd exercised I mostly focused on lower body and core. With Crossfit you're pretty ( Read more... )

So I came home today and thought I'd expand my running trail from 2.5 miles to 3 miles. I remembered a route that would get me up around half a mile give or take and decided it wouldn't be necessary to check Google map to confirm ( Read more... )

And now a few thoughts from yours truly. Because ( Read more... )
