Oh you guys, this pose.
This pose is so magnificent.
I highly recommend you do it. It’s the Inverted Lake pose, also called the Legs Up Wall pose. In just 3 minutes it made me feel like a whole new person. I can’t emphasize this one enough!!!

On Guilt
I have to admit, I have an addiction. To guilt.
I rarely play the victim card (or at least I hope I avoid it), but in my head, a lot of the time, I wallow. I’ve wallowed in self-pity, in anger, and most of all, in guilt.
In fact, I’ve spent more time wallowing in guilt than making efforts to ebb the causes of the guilt. It’s ridiculous, really. The apartment’s not clean?...
NaBloPoMo
So, November is National Blog Posting Month, so I thought I’d get back on here and post some progress.
Since I started on MyFitnessPal, I’ve been able to hit at least enough calories to get me through the day, if not enough to help me in my goal to gain weight healthfully.
A few days ago I came down with a cold, so that has me dragging. I have the spins and dizziness in the morning,...

Doing it Better
Today I joined MyFitnessPal to help me track calories and make sure I’m eating enough. As of late, with being poor, I justify myself not eating. I don’t eat breakfast, and lately I’ve been skipping lunch and just eating a regular-sized dinner.
Yesterday, thanks to snacking, I had 1200 calories. My basal metabolic rate (for JUST having my organs function) is 1255 calories. So,...
Went Running Today
I went running today. This reaffirmed two things:
I am out of shape.
I hate running.
I might have to stick with bicycles and yoga. What exercises do you enjoy?

iPhone
Is it sad I want an iPhone *just* because I want to record distance running and cycling via GPS?

Elevenses
I think I can reduce my difficulty eating enough in a day to three non-mental issues:
1) Eating slow. I have this thing about chewing before I swallow. Strange, right? Friends can finish eating before I’m halfway done, which usually means they can fit twice as much in before their stomachs say stop.
2) Teensy stomach. It’s a chicken-or-egg situation with Reason #1. I try to eat...

Mmm
Yesterday was terribly windy, but today is the FIRST flip-flop day of the spring! :D
And tomorrow it’s supposed to snow.
BAH. So far so good today for food. I had a great sandwich for lunch, a banana, and some juice. Dinner is yet to be determined, but I might do chicken and rice again. I finally hit the store last night for some bread and tortillas so I have 10,000 more food options.

Eating Well
I’ve been eating great the past few days. Saturday Corey and I made chili, so I ate some of that Sunday and then had a big burrito fest for dinner. Yesterday it was rice and chicken for lunch, then my friend bought me dinner. Today I had leftover chili for lunch and some rice and applesauce. All throughout I’ve been snacking on bananas (out again).
I also finally went to the health...
Run Run
Today I played tennis for about an hour, a bit of soccer, and went swimming.
RIGHT ON. One step in the right direction.
Soul Poisons
I started this Tumblr as a way to track my goal setting in a more blog-friendly form, but not the formal blog format.
On my other account, I was reading a quote from Buddha: “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”
And I realized that I surround myself with poisons of the soul, and the poisons of humanity. Sometimes they are...
