Feeling the Burn

Holy-cow were my legs tight today...and still are! I woke up waddling around the house. Stretching seemed to help a bit.

Today I dominated yoga, or as my friend April puts it..."P90X Death Yoga" I'm inclined to agree. Though I feel accomplished, I'm afraid to stop moving for fear of being unable to move. All that, an object at rest tends to stay at rest hullabaloo.

I wanted to touch on rewards. I think they're essential to obtaining results and reaching your goals. Rewards can be big or small, long or short term. I remember studying and doing homework in college. Two intense hours of biological anthropology and I could order Thai food from the world's greatest restaurant. Another paper written and I was allowed to go watch the sunset on Lake Michigan.

Now that I'm trying to loose weight, I need some long term rewards. A new wardrobe is a given. Cute and sexy underthings are definitely in my future. Though these things are all wonderful and exciting, I want something else for me and just me. A tattoo. I already have several, and I've been itching to get another. But I can't justify spending the money on a body I'm not terribly proud of yet. The day I can stand on the scale and look in the mirror and say, "Holy shit, I feel good." I will march into the tattoo parlor, sketches in hand.
