[] Shower crayons

[] art blocks, commissions, and apologies

- countdown four days till tday (!!!!!!!!!!)

[] would like to do yoga to the people on tuesday- (invite ari)

- Might get a pair of vibram fivefingers, today, if I can find one in my size

[] don't forget to pay your bills, seth.

[]- how do I take care of this piece of ivy? it's dying D= It's in water, maybe I should get it some dirt. 0__0

- drink more water, drink it all the time. >:[ <- that face looks way more scornful on my droid

- Finally getting my room situated a way I like it... interestingly enough, it comes with deliberately shoving most of the furniture uncomfortably close together to make room to work out.

- still poking at p90x. So far I've only done the first half hour each of Yoga-X and 'Legs and Back', and all of X-Stretch. Yoga and Stretch had me sore for like four days, took it a little easier with legs/back and did a lot better. I could feel the muscles building the next day, but not to a painful degree, like with the other. Also my medial gastrocs are a little insane and I only noticed it this weekend (because I was totally flexing and caressing the muscles in my legs later in the day and the next day. Good burning).

[] downoad avatar to show to A in hopes she'll go see it with me this summer.

- Saw 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' the other day. It was long. An accurate portrayal of the book, but not particularly noteworthy otherwise. =P Does, however, make me want to actually get around to reading the sequel my mom gave me for christmas.

- finally bought a vacuum. Was disappointed to realize it didn't have the spinny things to sweep the carpet, almost took it back, but really desperately wanted to vacuum my floor before I worked out so went ahead and tried it. At least it sucks, which makes it work better than a lot of vacuums I've used in the past. Wonder if I can still exchange it if the filter is covered in cat hair?

- Okay, time for errands. New barefoot shoes maybe!

I finally got around to trying out one of the p90x workout vids this morning. Yoga-X. I got a half an hour into the hour-and-a-half vid. Holy Crap.

Granted I probably could have done (a little) more if some factors were better aligned. I'm at work and had to pause about there to see if S was ready to get up. Also the space I was using wasn't exactly ideal, I kept having to scoot forward or bang my heel into a table. And I had failed to get out my towel beforehand and was dripping sweat all over the floor.

Even though I only got a third of the way through I felt really good afterward, despite some muscles trembling in my arms and shoulders. Definitely going to be coming back to it.

I knew yoga was a workout, but I didn't expect to be sweating so profusely so quickly, either!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm going to start really pushing myself to work out on a very regular basis. I weighed in the other day at 168. Which I'd be very happy with if more of it was muscle. I'm pretty sure I've got some decent muscles going in my legs from biking, but even that I haven't been doing as much of since quitting the job with V because that cut out a good 18 miles a week worth of biking to Berkeley and back. Now most of the biking I do is up some pretty intense hills, which makes it a lot more effort and a lot less enjoyable. >_<

One of the cool side-effects of going on T is my body will be very happy to drop fat and gain muscle. Even if I keep fairly sedentary I'll lose some fat, and some will shift from my upper legs and butt to my gut. But guys also have more muscle mass, so working out should really boost muscle gain and fat loss. Also if I'm not mistaken, during puberty the body tends to get set in a form that it likes to default to, so I'm kind of lucky that I get to reset that form the way I want it.

I don't know for sure, though, so I'm kind of anxious about it. I plan on keeping track as much as possible here on Dreamwidth/LJ.
