hope is the thing with feathers

I just finished day 6 (Level 1) of the 30 Day Shred. It's getting easier, where easier means 'not about to die'. I think I kinda love it. I might change my mind when I go to Level 2.

I finished all my icons for 100_icons. Seriously, I did them ALL. They've been done for a couple of days now. But now all I have to do is post them, but I don't feel like doing all that coding. My life, so hard.

( nutrition and exercise babble )

I rarely, rarely read at LJ anymore. If you post only there, leave me a comment and tell me how you are doing!

I got word today that I'm getting a mix for my Vampire Big Bang, too, on TOP of art. How awesome is that? WHEEEEEEEE. I hope my artist/mixer like the story.

I'm going to the career center at the local college on Thursday to do one of those computer career tests. Maybe they can help me out. I am definitely going back to school in January! I am tired of having no education! So anyway.

That is the state of the me.

I just did two standard pushups. I usually do them on my knees, and I'll continue doing that to reach my goal of 108 in 9 sets, but when I'm done with that I'm starting the 100 pushups program to do standards.

Last week I couldn't do ONE standard pushup. Today I did TWO. :DDDDD

This morning I exercised for an hour. AN HOUR. I did 85 pushups during yoga. EIGHTY FIVE. I'm doing so well! I can feel myself getting stronger and I'm feeling better about myself. How awesome is that?

So I got my mom to take a couple of pics for my 'before' so next year I can hold it up and see how far I've come. I've already come far, though. In just the past week I've quit smoking, started exercising, and I feel great. Also, there's the eating sensibly thing, which is huge for me.

Anyway, here's a pic of me. I think it came out good, and I'm actually smiling and stuff. :D

One of my goals is to write in a journal every day. I'm doing it here. Lucky you!

( lalalalalala )

Today I joined exercise_every_day which is a brand spanking new comm here on DW.

rydra_wong made an awesome post in lifting_heavy_things about free strength training.

DJ is going back home tomorrow. I'll miss him so much. This last month has been great having him with me.
