Baby rawr

[clevermanka]

I was supposed to do my resistance training activities yesterday, but couldn't get myself out of bed to do them before I had to go to work. After work I was still too fatigued for that intensity, so I did about 90 minutes of yoga. The yoga felt great, but it was another reminder that I'm not ready for prolonged, intense movement. I did manage to get up today and threw some weight around, but I was careful to take long breaks between each movement set.

Happy thing, too! I didn't bother to wear a shirt while lifting (because why), just a sports bra, and at the top of my deadlifts I could easily see my upper abs. Nice! Those little encouragements are so nice.

Check out this pic of Tilda Swinton, risking arrest in Russia for flying a pride flag.


I'm sure (I hope) she realizes that she has very little risk of actually getting arrested, but the gesture is nice.

My appetite is out of control right now. I've been non-stop hungry for two days. Annoying.

Oh, and here:

Edited late in the day to add: I. Am. Exhausted. I had to shut my office door and lie down for twenty minutes. JFC I am tired. So. Guess I'm not quite over the fatigue from Sunday's experiment.

tired sucks but seeing your abs is rocktastic!

So. True!

Congratulations, you rawring rawrer Clevermanka!

Msmitti, that is one of the most-charming icons I have ever seen. You've half killed me ded.

Oh, girl, it's 3:40pm and I'm mainlining coffee just to get through the rest of the day. I vote that we both retreat to a cave somewhere (an air conditioned one) and just sleep off the TIRED.

Sounds like a big rawr to m. Like from something like which even the rain does not have such small hands? I loved that one. Yay abs!! And if you can do 90 minutes of yoga, I utter a yawp of admiration in reply.

Ninety minutes of yoga is the perfect amount of time for me. It's how long my first classes were, and I got used to that window. Gives me time to sink into the poses, not feel rushed, and plenty of time for savasana at the end!

When I grow up, I hope to be even a quarter as cool as Tilda Swinton. (I'm still holding out hope that she'll get tapped to be the next Doctor Who...)

I wish I had abs....

Everybody has abs, silly. You'd have a hard time getting around if you didn't!

I doubt it. I've never seen them, and refuse to take things on faith. ;)
