Intentional movement

I've been loathe to mention it, because I am ridiculously superstitious, but I've been sleeping really well lately and last night I slept for ten hours. Amazing.

Because I'm better rested, I am making a commitment to move at least thirty minutes, five days a week. This can be boxing, yoga, dance, TRX work, whatever. I'm not going to mess with any sort of training plan or schedule. Right now I'm just promising to myself the dedication to regular intentional movement. I have an accountability pact going with a friend (I'll let her out herself if she wishes) wherein we check in at the end of the week and if one of us failed to reach goal (30 minutes of movement five days a week), we have to make it up sometime the next week. So if we miss a day, we do 30 minutes six days the next week. If we miss more days than can be made up in a week, we do 30 minutes all seven days and whatever lacking days for the next week. If, by the end of the month, we haven't made up our missed days, then we donate $20 to a charity of the other's choice.

STARTING TODAY! So once my lunch settles, I'm going to haul out my (neglected) yoga stuff and go through some routines I have saved. Maybe the SI joint happiness routine that [livejournal.com profile] kazoogrrl recommended to me combined with a few hip openers.

Mashrou Leila just released a new song! The video is...well, I think I don't understand it, but the song is good. I love his voice.

What a good exercise motivation system!

I think so, too! The first week is off to a good start already.
