Yoga... How's That Going?

Alright- I've mentioned a few times that I've been doing Yoga lately... and I actually think it's really been good for me! 

What I'm Doing? 

So I started off doing a beginner yoga video from Yoga with Adrienne and then I found another video that was part of her 30 Days of Yoga challenge from 2015... so right now I've been keeping up with that year's challenge and so far I have finished up to day 7. 

The videos are actually pretty easy to follow. There are a few moves where I'm like "I can't do this." But some... I've ended up being able to do a few days later. Or at least kind of do. Plus most of the videos are like 20-ish minutes... so it's not too long but it's still a nice workout. I kind of feel sore sometimes after- but now I feel like I've gotten a little better and it's a little easier. 

And I have skipped 2 days... one I was just exhausted after work...and one I had a bad headache and even though it went away I didn't think Yoga would make me feel any better. So I feel pretty okay... I'm trying to do something every other day at least... but i'd like to finish this around 30 days. 

Am I losing Weight? 
I think I've lost a few inches, maybe some weight. I had a pair of jeans that I bought a little bit big in February- before the shutdown- because I thought it would be better than the size down. So they used to be a little bit big, and then after the shutdown they fit pretty good... and now they're pretty big now. So... I guess it's helped a bit. 

How Am I Feeling? 
So part of why I wanted to do yoga was because it feels nice to kind of stretch out and it relieves some pain and a lot of times my lower back hurts so I thought that yoga might help it feel a little better. And it has been feeling better lately so I think it is kind of helping my body alignment. 

I'll probably check in more with this from time to time if you're interested... but I feel like if I write about it- I'll stick to it! 

Bye!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
