Knife

I got a nice one. Henckels. Apples like Butter. Thanks, roommates!!

Merry Christmas

Yesterday was my birthday. I'm in my late 20's now. Very nice. Cool Boise Restaurant- Tapas Estrella. Thanks to my fabulous servers and the sweet people who were cool about us taking a billion pictures.

This Christmas was the first away from my family. Kinda sad. But we started some new little traditions for our apartment (leftover from my childgood, mostly). Therefore, for your enjoyment, the best way to invite "the Christmas Spirit":
1- Kenny G miracles album
2- Read the Polar Express. Give everyone a jingle bell to ring whenever it says "rang"
3- Read Jolly Old Santa Claus, the 1960's version, if you can find it
4- Read the Christmas Story in St. Luke Chapter 2. (The Wise Men are in Matthew).
5- Say a little prayer, stuff some stockings, leave a Santa note.
Good-night, and Merry Christmas to all!!

Camera

My roommate is the only one who really reads my blog, which makes me a little sad, so I don't always write, but I'm always thinkin', so once I'm on here, watch out!!

Christmas present: Canon SD400. LOVE IT. LOVE IT.

My Favorite Workout

My favorite workout, for getting buff:

"Warm-up" Elliptical, 15 minutes, level 5 or cardio program
Lift- Bench 65lbs. (for now) - 3 sets of 8
Bicep Curls and Tricep lifts, alternating- 3 sets of 12 (I use 15lbs)
Lats- 3 sets of 10 (60lbs)
RUN- Treadmill 10min, 23 seconds (1 mile) 1.4 incline (using treadmills on incline zero is bad on your knees because it mimics downhill. Trust me on this. I think I read it in SELF.), Speed 5.7. I started on 4.7, but then I did a mini-triathlon
COOL DOWN- 10 minutes, level 5, bike

The Warm UP and Cool Down are really part of the overall workout, so don't skip 'em! Have fun!

GET OFF YOUR LAZY BUTT

Best way to feel like your life isn't horrible and pointless. Get off the couch and make yourself go to the gym. Just once. And work out hard. Then go tomorrow. (The 2nd day will be much more fun.) By day 7 your pants will fit better. Cook yourself a good dinner. You deserve it. You're hot now. And buff.
