Adventures in Fitness - 10 Minute Trainer

So I decided that I needed to suck it up and actually start working out. I am not "heavy" at least, not in my opinion, but I could stand to firm up a little. My go-to saying is usually "I don't run unless something is chasing me." However, I realized that if I WAS being chased, my odds of escaping were slim. ;)
I've tried going to the gym, and I can get into that habit eventually. I keep coming up with excuses not to go lately, so I wanted to start something that I would have no excuse not doing. Thus,
10 MINUTE TRAINER!!!
I am going to try for the 3 workouts a day, but if I can get only one I figure that's 10 minutes more than I would have done otherwise. And to keep myself accountable (and embarrassed):




Day one Pictures. eek. Don't I look happy? Wish me luck!

Kerblam - Randomness Activate!


Randomness:




We bought our cat a harness today. Once he figured out that it wasn't hurting him, he was thrilled to be outside, running back and forth in a fully sanctioned outing. That is until he hit the end of the line at a full speed run and completely panicked...
He's sleeping on my lap right now. I need to start paying attention to the world around me. Apparently it's a pretty awesome place.


I had a fantastic experience yesterday doing makeup for a local fashion show. It was completely out of my comfort zone--i've done makeup for friends and a few weddings, but I have never tried to design a look to go along with someone else's vision. I got to take charge of what my "professional" opinion dictated. It was great! I love working the corporate world, and I wouldn't give up my company for anything, but it was refreshing to be in charge of what my particular goals for the event should be, and to figure out how to implement them without going crazy. 






This band, Fun., is one of my current stuck-on-repeat favorites, and their acoustic versions are even more wonderful than the cd, if that's possible. My friends, this hook! I dare you not to hum it all day. 
Mini goal for myself -
"may your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground" 


Typing has annoyed my cat. He just attacked my arm. 


Carry on.

Dreaming

It's a new year, and it's time to try something new. Thus, something I know absolutely nothing about, and have absolutely no clue how to begin! a blog. yessss....


I'm a makeup artist and a medical lab technician. I'm tired of saying that I "don't have time" to do the things I want to do. I am going to make the time.


I just started snowboarding, and am not good, but LOVE it anyhow. I'm going to feel like crying when the season is officially over.


I have pictures of my cats in my phone like other people have pictures of their children.


I'm random, and weird, 
and working to be better at being me. Welcome to the ride inside my brain :)


love, r
