How I did it: SARK offered a free workshop at the Hayward Public Library last weekend and I attended and was blown away at how down-to-earth and genuine she is. After reading her books you sort of expect her to be this magical hippie woman (not that there's anything wrong with that!) who speaks like a soothsayer, but she's really much more grounded and doesn't have any pretension about her. I feel very fortunate to have met her. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I checked some reviews and prices of hostels on hostelworld.com and planned out my journey. I made a few adjustments here and there along the way (minus a day here, plus a day there), but really played each day by ear. I also invested in some sweet backpacks from REI which were VERY helpful. They have detachable smaller backpacks so you can zipper them together for easier storage on trains, etc. Also, having a little bac… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've studied yoga in a couple different places, and each one has taught me something different and interesting. I signed up for yoga in high school which was my first class (hatha based), then I signed up for another class in college (also hatha), then tried some classes at the gym, then I got into Bikram more recently which has been the most rewarding for me physically. Read how I did it…
In my hometown, which is a very typical suburban WASPy upper-middle class place, there is a psychic’s shop. I’ve always wondered how they’ve stayed in business with all the fundamentalists around, but more than that, I’ve always wanted to go and visit!
Not sure how much I believe in psychic abilities/gifts, but I’m open-minded and curious. :-P
So it’s been kind of a crazy year for me, personally, and I’ll be turning 26 in 46 days, so what better way to start off another year of life than by doing something wild and unusual?
I’m planning on getting decked out country-style, heading down to a western bar with some great friends, drinking a few beers and then riding that bull to celebrate! :)
My overall weight loss goal is to be 5’8” at 135 pounds and I have been hovering at 145 for close to 2 years now, which is actually a good thing, since I came down from nearly 160 pounds at one point. So having stabilized at 145 is a great victory, but it’s not my personal best.
I keep fixating on the number 135 and feeling rather defeated I’ve lost a lot of my motivation for the gym and other activities, so I’m scaling back and looking at the short term. Five pounds seems like nothing, especially when you’re as tall as I am – 5 pounds doesn’t make you look much thinner, but you can FEEL it, which is what this about anyway: feeling good.
For my first week, I am going to ramp up my gym time. I’m going to do the unthinkable for night owl like me and go to the gym BEFORE work (you have no idea how hard this will be for someone like me…no idea!). I figure changing my routine and the timing might give my metabolism a boost. Here’s hoping for the best!
