exercise: check!!

exercise: check!!
rode my bike in to work and it was so cold this morning i had tears running down my face. but its always a nice start to the morning. then my co-work... wait, friend... (i always joke with her that it's cute she thinks we'd be friends outside of work... but i'm just playin with her) ... anyways my friend and i worked out in our office after work. we wheel a tv in there and do Julian Michael's 30 day shred!! its pretty fun actually. Then to top it off, i ran the dogs to the dogpark.

but I still can't get the breakfast thing down. my morning slipped by me and i just got sidetracked. before i knew it, it was 11 and i was so hungry i ate my tuna sandwich and sweet potato fries!! oh well --- see paragraph above, i worked it off! ;)

and i've already ruined tonight's "go to bed early" rule because i was watching pitch perfect. it was acually pretty funny. makes me feel like i missed my call as glee club member or something.... if i could sing and if my highschool had a glee club.

but i do catch myself being super envious when i watch people hip hop dance. i wish i would dance a bit more. it's kind of tied to the "be silly, be light" commandment. however, i have decided to work in some form of dance in my october's resolution of spirituality. okay so that's kind of a stretch once you see what I'm talking about... I attended a Mind, Body, Medicine conference a few years back. It was super interesting, learning about visualization, meditation, positive thinking, and SHAKING!! it was something he made us do every morning. in a conference room with hundreds of people, they'd play this fire-dancing type music (is that even a thing??) and turn the lights down, and you just shake. it's hard to catch live footage of this phenomenon, because no one wants to sign a waiver that allows the posting of a video of them shaking every jiggling ounce of their bodies... but here's a clip...

James Gordon workshop, shaking

after the conference, i did it for a few weeks and actually found it was helpful. it just got you to open up, be silly, and really loosen every part of you.

try it....! 2 minutes is all it takes.
