Hi-YAH!


EXERCISE
I'm well into my 2nd month of my 2nd round of Insanity DVDs! I've definitely been building up some upper body strength. A month ago I accidentally broke a shower faucet handle and two light switches (and fixed them myself--thank you, Home Depot). Last week I was able to do a few chin-ups in a row from the ground up, without jumping up halfway. Feelin' a bit aggro and a bit of a handywoman, like I've got grrl power! >:)

LASIK
This weekend, I read aloud a sign and Bryan said, "Wow, you can read that? Your eyesight is better than mine!" Oops! o.O

Things that make you go, "Hmm..."


Really?

EXERCISE
I'm in my second month of my second round of Insanity. I missed a few days and had to make them up from weekend trips kayaking.

I have not gotten hurt nor sore from Insanity. Considering all the jumping and intensity, the precautions and protein I've taken seem to have helped. However, I've been trying to get my combat roll ready for a whitewater kayaking trip, and I think in the process I somehow made my right hip twitch from attempting to hand roll, hurt my left knee on the way to the river, and got sore from not stretching before and after roll practice. Dang it!

DIET
I have not looked into it yet, but I'm skeptical of food items that claim to have fiber in them, but don't look like they have fiber in them. For example, "whole grain white bread" seems like an oxymoron to me. Do these items really help in the same way as natural, unrefined fiber that you can see, i.e. in raw vegetables, fiber one original (little bits of rope!), whole fruits, whole grain, etc.?

Dear Wonder bread, I love your texture, and I will still eat you with peanut butter! You make me go, "Mmm..." :9
