I have the sniffles right now, and a sore throat.
But other than that, I am a happy camper. I’m reading this fascinating book called “Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain” by John J. Ratey. It explores the connection between exercise and the brain—and how exercise helps with not only cognitive functions of the brain, but it can also prevent/treat anxiety, depression, ADD, addictions, aggression, and even Alzheimer's disease.
So far it is sooo interesting and very motivating to me.
I’ve exercised both in the morning and at night every day this week. I went to yoga class last night, and I’m also signed up for a yoga class tomorrow and on Saturday morning. Whoo hoo me! The Saturday class I’m signed up for is called “Music Yoga Flow.” The website says that the class is “set to great music, including rock, reggae, hip hop, blues and world beats.” That should be interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever done yoga to hip hop music before! The idea makes me giggle, but I’m really looking forward to the experience.
So hey, I’m living up to my name and acting like Miss Healthypants, after all.
Except for this damn sore throat and sniffles.
Dammit.

I'd like to attend a yoga class set to Stephen Lynch music. Wouldn't THAT be fun?
Sounds like fun!
You're like a fitness machine.
I've heard exercise can help with motivation and procrastination. I'll have to look into that, I guess.
ok ok, I really like you, but all that working out? I'm just jealous...hope your sniffles are gone soon.
