SoF Plays Along
I will go along with the post preading like wildfire.
But First: Songs of the Post: I have decided that I have enough music and not enough posts so, I will be including a trance song for workouts, and a song for whatever I feel is appropiate.
First is a great one to get you ready for the workout. I fell in love with this and it is now the first track that plays when I hit the gym.
The second is a track that I first put up way back when I first started the Song of the Post. It is great for yoga, relaxing, and the them is great. it is called your hand in mine by Explosions in the Sky.
So here goes:
1) What is my ritual to destress?
This is funny to me. It has taken many years of training, harvesting and cultivation, though I do not get stressed out anymore. There is nothing too stressful out there, with the exception of working out. If I am bundled up, I take a deep breath and remember that it is not worth the trouble to be stressed about something. I make it very easy for people around me because of this. I do not think that people realize it as much as it happens.
2) First thing I do when I get up for the day?
Open my eyes that should be a no brainer. If I am feeling it, I do a little yoga, though I mostly pet my dog, see photos, eat a banana (I actaully buy like 4lbs of bananas when I go shopping). Bathroom as well.
3) Last thing that I do before I go to bed?
Turn off the computer most days, take evening suppliments, set alarms if needed, pet dog, bathroom things.
4) Are you a cat or dog person?
Have you been paying attention? Let's see if you have
5) Favourite TV shows?
Movies..mostly, though I have the TV on because I need flashing noise. I like top chef and project runway for reality TV. Anything cooking or yoga related.
6) Favourite Movies:
I love lots of movies, Anything by Darren Aronofski, Put a movie in and I will watch. There is not a lot to do in the winters out here.
7) Favourite form of exercise?
Biking, spinning, LIfting, yoga, Martial arts, anything really except running.
8)Favourite heatlh food?
The Spicy Black eyed pea vegan pizza from the thrive diet. It is so nutritious, that One pizza lasts a week and it is so healthy.
9) Favourite Junk food?
Anything from a window....
10) What I am most proud of?
I love that I am very intelligent, and that I do not freakout or stress out over things, I have worked on it for years, my abiliity to try new things and not be scared. I like most things about me.
11) What am I least pround of?
I thought that I would be farther in my life than I am now, though that has made me who I am. I cannot change this, though it is something that is easliy fixable. Meh, If that is my only drawback, then I figure I am in a great place...
12) Why did I choose an EP blog?
This is funny, I actually did not choose to be here, a friend of my did. Even though she has left, I still like some of the people here and I like talking to them in blog if nothing more.
13) Three blogs and Ep that I read on a regular basis?
If you are not reading GettinFit you are really missing out. I love Alicia's blog, it is probably the only reason that I have stayed as long as I have. I like that we have a lot in common with out goals.
I read Katewhoate a lot as well as she and I eat the same foods. She is also very funny.
Stardust deserves credit also, her blog is like the fraiser of blogs, it is intellectually funny, and keeps me entertained. I am actually using hers as a template for this posts.
Honorable Mention Slowandsteady, she always has great information though took a year off of posting. I do not know if welcome back is appropiate, though it is good to have you here.
14 I found it. I missed Favourate day off activity.
I love going to the gym multiple times a day on my time off, I walk the dog for a couple of miles, I try not to vegate during the nicer months like I do in the winter time.
I think that is a lot of things for the post.
Funny story of the post; I love these, they remind me that funny things happen all time and you have to take a step back and enjoy it. So this weeks funny story of the post is to steal this hook...Put up something funny that happened in your life. What did X say or do? What happened that had everyone laughing?
I pushed all the equipment at work to the furthest back it would go. I am one of the tallest people at work, so I can get this stuff to the furthest it will go. I did this, and left a note for one of my favourite coworkers that said
" Haha even in my sleep I can still taunt you. Have a great day"
I got a response back from her
"You are a jerrrrrk....lol"
Have a great day all and thanks for reading...
