As far as working on getting fit is going... I took a few days off because I did something to my back at work, but it's going okay. I am still working with the kettlebell, and I added running to my routine today. I only ran for ten minutes, but I was on the treadmill for about twenty minutes, then I did my Kbell routine. I feel pretty good at the ( Read more... )

I brought home a new kettlebell today. I've been having such a fun time flipping it around, swinging it, snatching it, and even pressing it. I'm so excited about this piece of equipment. I can keep it going comfortably long enough to get a good work out, it's convenient enough to pick up and do power-minutes during commercial breaks, AND it's ( Read more... )

Just completed work out day two!! I repeated my "weight" day, because my original schedule started on Sunday with Saturday as my off day. Tomorrow comes cardio. The weight routine that I am doing has a great deal of cardio in it as well. I found a great kettlebell routine, and I love it! Looking for a easy, calming yoga routine to help stretch out ( Read more... )

That added to work stress, and I lost (gained?) any ground that I had made from ( Read more... )

I am so freaking tired ( Read more... )

I just started my next set of dreads!! The last ones were totally synthetic twists and backcombs that I attached to string, ribbons, and hair ties to make a MASSIVE head of raver hair. I think that these ones will be various yarns wrapped around various types of materials...

I AM SO STOKED!

edit: never mind, false alarm.

I cleaned the fucking mess in the kitchen that didn't belong to me. NONE OF THE MULTITUDE OF DISHES THAT I WASHED WERE ONES THAT EITHER MYSELF OR MY HUSBAND HAD USED! There was OLD MILK in them, and left over cereal ... leavings in the bottom of mugs. Who eats cereal out of a mug, when the next cupboard over has perfectly good bowls in it ( Read more... )

So excited!
