Hop to it!

This is heartwarming and heartbreaking.

My bruised knuckles are already so much better! Immediate cold pack + ibuprofen + adammaker's Green Oil = Magical Healing Miracle. I'm going to have no problem punching again tomorrow. Yay!

I'm joining shanmonster in the 100 Day Burpee Challenge. Anyone else care to join us?

Tonight I have my make-up acupuncture session, and then I'm going to do some dance stuff. I think it'll help to organize it like one of miischelle's Salons. A segment of conditioning, a segment of combos, and then instead of a segment of choreography, I'll work on learning a song. Which is kind of like choreography, I guess. Knowing a song well enough to dance to it without really thinking about it. Then I'll finish up with some yoga. Good plan, right? Right.

Both arty projects I worked on this weekend came out very nice. I think. I need to figure out how/if I can finagle it so the Altoid tin closes and opens (without a struggle) when it's painted and lacquered. Or if I should give up on painting the bottom and just art up the lid.

I wish I could stay home today. The four day weekend was really nice. Alas, no vacation time for me until after Application Season is over. Two more months! Hey, by that time, I'll be over halfway through the 100 Day Burpee Challenge!

real women do burpees gear (http://www.printfection.com/pFITgear/Real-Women-Do-Burpees/_s_448406)

Ugh that move looks so lower back unfriendly every time i see it, but I'm in! I did my three so I'm on the same schedule.

WOMAN DO NOT FUCK UP YOUR BACK.

ha! I have more core strength than i think because it doesn't FEEL back unfriendly at all. My whole lower back/mid-section doesn't dip at all in that shoot-back-to-plank move.

So, I was showing Jet what I was doing and asking him if he wanted to do it with me and he said "that's nuthin'" and proceeded to show my some 8-point burpee-like move they did in PE last year:

squat
back to plank/push up position
shoot legs open to spread, while in plant/push up
shoot legs back together
do a push up
back to squat
jump from squat into the air and back to squat
stand up straight

They apparently did ten of those a day every day last year in PE class. Egad.

I do the push-up on my burpees, but the open-close-leg thing is interesting! I'm going to try it tomorrow. Thanks!
