II just got back from the gym where I did some deep leg stretching. Felt real good, especially after all the squats and lunges from the last two days' workouts! Baller!
tasting durian for the first time (I don't know if I like it or not...), eating nearly half a small wheel of goat brie (so goddamn good), enjoying the bizarre conversation and interjections, being super on fire with my commentary and overall peanutgalleryness, listening to (and introducing the party to) Anita O'Day, leaving at the perfect time and heading straight for the gym, stretching and breathing and listening to the Shins' "Wincing The Night Away," heading home and admiring the shape of my legs in my shadow, being given a dramatic up-down look from an older black lady (lol!) on the way home (pretty sure she was drunk or high. made my night though!), getting home and petting my doggie, washing all of the dishes in my sink, drinking cold and clean water, changing into shorts and brushing my gorgeous hair (it's getting longer and longer!), doing my nightly rave, sitting down to write all of this and enjoying reflecting on my day and finding all the good parts!
I also just finished my nightly 5 minute rave. I think I'm gonna bump it up to 10 minutes morning and night, because it feels so good and I feel like 5 minutes is when I just start to get the ball really rolling. So from tomorrow onward I'm going to do 10 minutes each rave! Sweet!
It really felt good to start my day that way! It was such a nice way to get my energy flowing, especially because when I wake up I'm usually kinda groggy and sluggish and my mind will likely follow suit unless I rev it up in a positive way. So I'm gonna really enjoy this month! No creating anything new, just raving about what I've got! SO AWESOME!
Things today that were great: Waking up relatively early (considering it was Saturday and I didn't have to wake up at all), drinking clean water when I woke up, taking Ollie outside and breathing in the cool air and immediately beginning to look for stuff to appreciate, jumping right into my morning rave, feeling great after that and blogging about it, lounging around in my cozy sweat pants and sweatshirt, going down to the Cafe for brunch with my doggie, walking right into the co-op with Ollie and buying some peanut butter (nobody said anything!), ordering my pancakes/bacon/eggs combo and waiting while Ollie tried to separate peanut butter from dog food bits (kept him busy a while), enjoying my breakfast in peace, sitting back with a nice hot cup of decaf coffee, seeing a good friend of mine from acting class and having a chat with him, cuddling with my pup for a while as I sipped my coffee and waited for change, walking home and feeling sleepiness waft over me, enjoying a little snooze while I waited for my friend to come over, popping over to the other co-op to buy some tea and honey and chocolate, tidying up my home before she came over, making some phone calls to decline other jobs I'd been looking into, enjoying lady time with my new friend, drinking peppermint tea with honey and lemon, bidding her farewell and sitting down to read some Divine Openings, writing down things I can do this week just to feel good, jerking off for 45 minutes (that vibrator is way too intense when the batteries are fresh!), taking a hot shower, moisturizing my skin, eating carrots and peanutbutter/honey, drinking more water, taking a nap face-down for about 45 minutes, getting up and getting dressed for the wine and cheese party, walking to the beverage store down the street and picking out some fun gourmet sodas, walking to the party and getting there first, watching the party build into a fun and boisterous gathering of interesting people and adventuresome eating, munching on a baked cutlass fish
I'm really loving these new habits! I'm so excited to do this month's challenge! I can't wait to see how I feel by the end of the month! This exercise challenge has been great and I've made a lot of progress in my body. I've still got 2 weeks left of Zuzka's 30 Day Fitness Plan, so I'm stoked for that. Tomorrow should be pretty badass!
Ok, looking forward to my rave in the morning! 10 minutes! Sweet!
Love,
Adrienne
