Herein lies his inspiration. My personal favourite is the unicorn that's curled up inside the box =3

Laterz,

bugs out!

if i were..

to write a book about myself right now.. I think it'd be called "the life and times of a taxidermist".. lol jk.. I've been making something for a friend's bday and it needs stuffing. Stuffing is a lot more tedious and tiring than one could have imagined. I feel like a taxidermist, stuffing an emptied out carcass. Although thankfully, this "carcass" is my own creation and therefore was never in a living state. Not completely my own creation, I bought a crochet pattern for a fox, but I'm modifying it a bit.. Not sure if it's going to look like what I want it to look like when I'm done, but I'll try my best. *nods*

I'll post pictures when I'm done as well as state what it is, but for now, secrecy ensues just in case my friend pops by here XD

Now I'm assembling it.. like Frankenstein! lol Off I go ^_^

Laterz,

bugs

It was bound to happen..

I haven't been sleeping super well this week. I fall asleep, but wake up without a full good "night" of sleep. The only day I slept well was Wednesday and that was because I had been up since almost 8am Tuesday morning so my body was recuperating on lost sleep. Thursday I woke up early, Friday I slept late and woke up early.. So, as I took my 1hr nap from 5am-6am as I usually do when I haven't slept enough, I just never woke up. My alarm was set, it must've blared for 2hrs, I heard nothing. I supposed I slept so hard as my back was killing me and thus I slept flat on my back rather than on my side as I normally do. I think that contributed in some way to my sleeping deeper.. But I also know my body couldn't take the lack of sleep anymore. Thankfully I only have 1hr of work left after my 5am break, so I didn't miss that much work and it's usually fairly quiet Saturday mornings. So, I don't think I really gave my co-workers too much of a busy shift. Still, I feel horrible. If anyone knows me, they know I take my work seriously. I'm never late, hell if I need to be at the office I'd rather show up an hour and a half early instead of leaving so I get there 15mins before my shift starts. In the 5yrs I've worked there not once have I been late since starting on the floor.. I guess I could feel good at that, but I don't because I know this is going to go on my record and I'm still on trial for working from home... -_- I hope I didn't mess things up. Dx
What woke me up at 10:42am was Kayla, my kitty, meowing from behind the closed door.. Had she not mrowed for me, I think I'd still be sleeping.
I sent an email to my supervisors explaining what happened and one to my coworkers apologizing for my behaviour. I know that doesn't right a wrong, but I felt I needed to apologize regardless.
It's now 1:10pm, and obviously having slept for 5 1/2 hours I can't sleep =_= so much for catching up on sleep. Oh well, I did have to go out today.. guess I'll make the best of it and maybe I can catch some shut-eye upon my return.

When the wind blows

I've been wanting to write for soo long, but then my kitty chewed through my power cord and so I had to wait for a new one to get here. A whole week without my lappy T-T then I went camping and upon my return my new power supply was waiting for me in the mail. =) yay!! Just in time to start back at work! It's been a nice long week, I'm anticipating my weekend. I've been feeling really tired lately, I keep waking up too early and not falling back asleep which in turn makes me super sleepy once my shift ensues. I have to find a way, something that'll let me sleep longer otherwise I fear getting sick. =S I'd rather not turn back into a plague rat.. A month of that was more than enough for me, for like... the next 2 years!! I'd say longer, but we need to be realistic here =P

I think it might have something to do with the way I've been eating or rather the "what" that I've been eating. I've gone partly healthy but at the same time, there's still a lot of junk and crap left from my camping trip.. yup, I ate baaaaad while gone and I've been lazy on the getting back into the groove of things. Tomorrow, tomorrow is a new day, new leaf. I'd say today, but get this.. I'm too tired :S I'm actually just thinking of taking a nap before work, I think it'd do me good in the long run *nods*

Ok.. so I'll write again soonish. *nods*

Laterz, bug out! =D

finally it has happened to me right in front of my face and i just can't deny it..

Ok so I haven't died, nor have I fallen off the face of the earth. I do say, I am still alive! How are the exercises coming along, you ask? Hmm... yeah.. haha Well, for the record I did do them once last week on Tuesday and I kept forgetting to write it out. *shakes head in despair* I was out of town for the weekend and didn't really do much of anything. However, I have not given up! I'm going to change things around a bit though. While out of town, I was staying with a childhood friend who recommended I try yoga. She says it's very useful and will help me out a lot. The best part of all of this, is that I can do it at home. She lent me her dvd that I may follow it and get into the rhythm of things. Once I've been continuously doing it for 1 month, she will then give me a workout plan that I am to follow.

I left her place with a new drive. Just seeing how much she can and has achieved and still strives to do more regardless of what life throws at her. It gave me a boost. So, there are a few things that will be in the process of coming about. From my own perspective. After years of falling into the mold of procrastination, I'm tired of it. Not advancing, not getting anywhere. There's a limit to it all and this girl *points at self* is going to do something about it *nods affirmatively*

As soon as things start coming into motion I will make sure to write about them ^_^

A tired bug bids you good day!

Laterz *waves*

So...

I got to "Day 4" that was good.. right? *sigh* I'll be getting back into the roll of things come Saturday morning (so technically, today). I've been blahed out and completely drained of energy this week.. Had to go into the office on Wednesday so I didn't exercise the day before as I knew I had to sleep as much as possible as I had to not only head to the office for my shift but had a condo meeting. Which basically meant I had to get up earlier and not really sleep as much as possible. Coming back from work Thursday morning my head was all spinny so again I didn't do anything and just went to bed. Today, or rather yesterday (Friday) I was just plain lazy. -_- Still, throughout it all I managed to loose a few pounds. 192.something (my brain fails me..still 2 lbs down is good *nods*) I have been eating healthier, so maybe that's what helped. And while I did eat pizza, it wasn't a chemical induced store bought one, instead it was homemade from scratch with healthy ingredients. OK ok fiine pepperoni isn't really healthy, but it's not a pizza without it! Still, it lasted me a good 3 days.. It was ginormous! I've also been making veggie stir-fry with vermicelli noodles nom nom nom soo good! But yes, anyhoo.. I'll be heading into the office yet again come Tuesday =_= I seriously hope they finish the work on the stoopid phone lines soon, because it'd be pure bliss to not have to come in on Tuesday and also because it's EXTREMELY BORING working at the office as there's NADA to do! D8 I dread having to go it -_-

Anywhoo, leaving all that aside! Here I am stuck in one of those oober slowly paced days, where the time barely seems to change. It's almost as though the time has stopped and here I am growing old but not going anywhere. I guess it doesn't help that I'm hot and my head it pounding. I just wish my shift would be over and done with or at the very least that 5am would roll around becaue I want to take a 1hr nap! I won't be able to sleep much if any after I'm done my shift. I intend to work out for a good hour, by which time it'll probably be close to 8:30am and I need to head downtown to meet Raine. We'll be watch Harry Potter tomorrow morning as my bff Chris is graduating on Monday and I had promised to go ^^ I'm sure by the time I come back Saturday afternoon/evening I'll be a walking zombie =___= but I'm sure I'll have fun while I'm out! I think that's why I'm so looking forward to my workout in the morning. Because I know it'll give me a boost for the rest of the day. Or at least for a few hours. I'll have to sleep Saturday, that's for sure. Yet, I'm also waiting on a pattern to arrive. Crochet pattern I just ordered. I had no previous intend on ordering anything as I had started to follow a pattern I have in an amigurumi book. You'd think these patterns, being published in a book and all, would've been tested out.. but alas, such is not the case. It's a good thing I didn't pay much for the book and I'm hoping it's only the one pattern that isn't complete. I'm making an animal, and you'd assume being the size it is that it shouldn't be hard to include all the steps but nooo.. they give enough instruction to kind of make a body, but no head -_- I thought maybe I made an error, so I stopped and started again from scratch. Nothing, no head, no shape of head, nada. Pattern for ears and tail, wonderful! But unless the pictures they included were not meant to show what the finished product would be, the only thing I could do is "patch" the ears and tail to the one sausage looking body with not head >.> I'm not amused. It's fine though, thankfully I was able to find the same type of animal but a much cuter version. Delivery is by email, good thing too as Canada Post is on strike! D8 And it should arrive 24hrs after payment is received. So, hopefully by tomorrow I should get it. I'll be able to work on it Sunday morning and give it to her on Monday. I hope things work out *nods*

Alrighty, well, I'm off for now.

Laterz,

Day 4

So, I wasn't feeling too good Friday night, ended up calling in sick and then I went to sleep. Needless to say, I didn't do my treadmill the next day =_=

However, I'm doing my workouts right now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCwsuPVZeZo

always tuck in and clench tummy!!

dog/bird
clench fist and arm muscles @ 90deg angle and life opposite leg.. hold 5 secs
10 to 12 reps. 5 - 6 on each side - did 3 sets

plank
use feet to lift up, balance on elbows/forearm.. tuck in tummy.. 30secs and up

side plank
resting on knees, resting on forearm and lift up (one side then other) try over 30secs

glutes
lie on back, knees bent, feet on floor, squeeze butt together and raise butt off of floor
hold 5 secs & relax
(then if good, raise 1 leg off floor, then other)
10-12 reps

2 - 3 sets on each (2 sets on each and work up to 3 sets on each, then once core down pat at 3 sets can go for more vids on doing other stuff)

As I'm doing them, I've been thinking. Yes, walking on the treadmill is good. And it does take a lot out of me.. but at the same time all I'm doing is cardio. I've been thinking about this, not just today but yesterday as well. Either I could up the time on the mill or do 1hr mill and then the above exercises too. On those 2 days I had "reserved" let's say for only exercises, I think instead what I could do is on those days cut myself some slack and just do mill. This is all just me thinking "out loud" so to speak, um I'll see if I'm capable of doing that. Otherwise, I'll just stick with the mill on weekdays.

I've also been thinking, for a while now, that I'd like to do jumprope.. But I don't know where I'd do this, because I have neighbours downstairs I don't know if doing it at home would be wise but where would I do it outdoors so I don't feel self-conscious?

Anyways, I was just writing up my thoughts so I can re-read them afterwards and mull 'em over. I'm going to go finish my workout now. I'll edit this post if I change anything in the workout *nods*

Edit:
For the planks I was capable of holding out for 20secs on the 1st set, 15 secs on the 2nd set and only 10 secs on the 3rd set. What I have noticed is my shoes slip on the floor, so I can't keep upright as I'm battling with sucking in my tummy and trying to not slip back down. I'm not blaming my lack of strength on this, I know I need to work more at this but the slipping doesn't help *shakes fist*

On to side planks..
I can hold up to 18 secs on my left side, for 2 sets. I think my right side is weaker as I find really hard to stay straight and can lift for no more than 10 secs on 1 set and then only for 8 secs on a 2nd set. This one's really difficult for me. Just means more practice, right? =3

Now for glutes..
I don't have enough balance yet to do the one leg up, then the other. I stuck with only the lifting. I did 2 sets of 10 reps.

It's 1pm now, so I'm going to stop as I need to go out and do some grocery shopping a well as prepare some food.

Melonpan for movie night tomorrow with Raine, and pizza tonight for supper. Making from scratch and I'll try to keep it healthy-ish haha.

My head's a little spinny, it could be from sitting up too fast or the fact that I have yet to eat. I need to do something about that. It's crucial that I start eating healthy and that means eating 3 times a day. Which is something I don't do right now.

So, off I go.

Laterz,

*waves* ^^
