so we just did another fitness test and i did 20 push ups, 32 crunches, and 13 sit-ups and we walk for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Guided Imagery

We just did this sort of meditation thing for relaxation, and to be honest it didn't really work that well. I mean, it got me relaxed, and after walking those 1 and a half miles it helped me wind down, but it didn't put me in a deep deep deep relaxation type thing like i guess it's supposed to. I guess we're supposed to listen to it more, like twice a day or week for several weeks, and that's when you really relax and start to imagine all the things that it's saying. It was really nice...maybe ill go out and get a cd like that to help me relax whenever i get stressed...

Correction

The post that i just posted was for about 1 1/2 miles not 2 miles.

Just Finished Walking 2 Miles

My legs hurt a little afterwards, but im getting used to the walking and maybe next time ill jog it all or at least jog one mile

Hoop Path

Today we learned about hoola hooping for relaxation and rehabilitation. This came from the Maidan who thought of the "sacred circle" as a very important aspect of their lives. The guy in the video found this as a way to get out of his depression and to rehabilitate from a shoulder injury. He is a very spiritual guy, and the way he talks about it is with a lot of feeling towards it. The video then just teaches us the ways to use the hoop in different exercises and to connect with the inside of your body. It was a really interesting video.

Diet

I havent really been tracking what i have been eating, but i know that i have been eating healthier. I havent been eating as much sweet stuff as i used to be. It's really hard to track what i eat because im so busy...although i have tried, it just doesnt work. but i know im eating better.

Walking

Today we walked for about 10 or 15 minutes, and my legs really hurt. I t was raining and i really didnt feel like walking today, but i did it. We have been keeping track of what we have been eating...i havent, but for the next four days i will be keeping a diary of what i eat so i can post it up.
