Getting in shape

Well, I want to start getting in shape. So I'm going to blog about it. The eating healthy is... meh, but it's cafeteria food, so what can you do?

Today, I went for a 15 minute run/walk around campus. Then I came back, stretched, and did that 8 Minute Abs work out video that mom used to have (found it on YouTube). Then I did some yoga strength/breathing and ended with relaxation. I figure if I do this every night, I'll be in good shape. (No pun intended).

I also figure that if I tell you about it, I'll feel guilty when I don't do it. So. Here it goes. Wish me luck.

And here's a goofy picture of me to get it started. (sorry mom, but that's what I was wearing! Not for the run, just doing the workouts in my room. It felt more legit.)

Mirielle got me hooked!!

Mirielle was right...

Semester-itis is worse than Senior-itis. ESPECIALLY living in Juniper. They're locking the doors to the halls now, and they took away all the garbage cans. There's one on our whole floor that isn't in a room. The other BATHROOM doesn't even have one!!! And our bathroom just has a little one. Neither of the living rooms have one. Gah.

Spring Break.

Not much to report. I'm enjoying have a LAAAZZZZZYYYY week. But I took some awesome pictures, and am going to take some more the next few days, so check back for a picture post soon!

Wow, this is amazing.

Quote for Today

I finally got around to reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. I LOVE this book. The writing is just so amazing. Betty Smith, the author, is so talented with words, the way I hope to be someday. She paints such perfect pictures, and conveys all the best (and worst) emotions, and they are so REAL. I was flipping through my copy today when I came across an underlined passage:

"I guess that's why the Jews have so many babies," Francie thought. "And why they sit so quiet...waiting. And why they aren't ashamed the way they are fat. Each one thinks that she might be making the real little Jesus. That's why they walk so proud when they're that way. Now the Irish women always look so ashamed. They know that they can never make a Jesus. It will just be another Mick. When I grow up and know that I am going to have a baby, I will remember to walk proud and slow even though I am not a Jew."

I don't like this so much because of the Jews thinking they are making the baby Jesus, but I like it because they are proud that they are pregnant. And when I grow up and know that I am going to have a baby, I will walk proud and slow even though I am not a Jew.
