Y'all Get a Double Whammy

I'm sorry, but y'all just get to have a double post today.  And yes, I did just say y'all.  Sometimes I wonder if I'd be a good hippie.
So, back on the exercising thingy-ma-bobber. (yes, I do like that word)  I don't understand how people who do yoga can hold such crazy poses.  I'm gonna try it.  Yoga is a less breath robbing form of exercise, so I think I'm going to alternate my breath robbers with my less breath robbing, and yoga exercises.  I think Yoga (while it can be harder) is a less breath robbing exercise because it is slow, and precise.  A lot of other exercises are fast, and repetitive.  While yoga can be repetitive, it's also...oh I don't know.   Why don't you try yoga, and "normal" exercising, and tell me which is easier for you, and why, and which one is a less breath robbing thing.
I wanted to share with you some things I've noticed since I started on my exercise craze.

  • I'm more confident.
  • I'm more interested in eating healthy, although I still like junk food, because junk food is awesome.
  • I want to learn more exercises.
  • I care more about if I'm sitting straight.
  • I keep checking my tummy to see if it's less "fluffy," because I don't agree with Gavyn that girls are supposed to have fluff.
  • I'm spending more time on youtube...looking up exercises...and looking for stuff to watch/listen to while exercising.
  • I want to challenge myself more.  Then again, I already did that...just not with exercises.
  • I've decided I want heavier dumbells for my birthday, as well as a bunch of legos, a better camera, and an apple computer.  But I'll be content with one of whatever, or even random stuff, so don't think you have to get me whatever.
  • I think I sleep better, but I'm not sure, because I didn't sleep well last night...then again, it was really cold last night, and the cold and I do not get along well at all.
  • Yeah that's about it.
  • But I like bullets so I'm gonna keep typing for a little bit.
  • Never mind, I'm done.
Isn't that crazy and awesome, and all kinds of things?  I thought so too.
By the way, I have a ton of exercises for the core, but not quite as many for the arms, very few for the thighs, and lower legs, and only one for the butt.  If anyone knows of any good exercises for those areas, I will gladly accept them.
On the bright side though...I know for sure I can count at least to twenty for repetitions :p
Wow, it's really noisy in a room next to the library....okay, I'm done now.

Dun, duh, duh, duh.

So, my mom is getting married, and her fiance (Doug) has a wood shop that I get to work in whenever I want basically.  I get a room upstairs, a swing, and possibly (hopefully) a slide.  I've already made three things in his work shop (that are completed.)
A banana (it was originally supposed to be a moon, but it messed up, so I turned it into a banana)
A smiley face.
And a cross.
I didn't get to go to my Renaissance festival, because Doug (Who was taking us) was in the hospital with a blood clot...so...no Renaissance festival :(  Maybe next year.
I'm also going on a "fitness" thingy-ma-bobber.  I exercise every day.  Well, every night.  Not day.  I'm at school all day.
I do wimpy push ups (against the counter, in the girly way, which does exercise your muscles, but doesn't cause near as much pain to your chest.  I do sit ups, crunches, twists, side twists, I try to touch my toes, I do some weight lifting with my tiny little 1 pound dumbells, but I plan to fill up two gatorade bottles with water, and use those.  It would give me more of a challenge.  I also do the "Warrior" yoga pose, and that one pose that I don't remember the name of...maybe the moon pose?  And I do squats.  One thing I've noticed is that the biceps on my right arm are stronger/bigger that the ones on my left arm...I don't quite know why.
If I had a punching bag, or knew how/had the stuff, to make one I would use that.
I also drink a lot of water, grapefruit juice, and I rollerblade all the time.  I also plan on finding more exercises on google, and youtube, and wiki-how.
If anyone knows any good exercises, please let me know!
I don't exactly know why I'm doing this.  I guess I'm wanting to get stronger, and more fit.  Ya know, 'cause I got fluff, and I don't like my fluff.
My classmate Gavyn says that girls are supposed to have fluff, but I don't have a boyfriend to impress with my fluff, so there's no reason I should have fluff...and he also goes from saying that I'm not smart because I'm a woman to saying that I'm smart because I am a woman...it's very confusing....
My abs are sore from all my crunches and sit ups, however, my upper chest is getting a lot less sore, even with all my push ups.  However, I really need some "weights" that weigh more.  I should look up and see how much a thingy-ma-bobber of sand costs, that way I can make some heavy weights.
Whoa, a whole heard of peoplez just came into the library...and I must get on with my movie, and on with my research.
Also, if anyone knows how old David was at First Samuel 16, please let me know.
Alright, g'bye
