so as a result of a series of quad-straining activities (soccer practice, a long bike ride, rock climbing, dancing, soccer practice again), my quads were barkin' yesterday. so today i went swimming instead. it's been awhile since i've been swimming... i think the last time might have been august? and i cannot remember the last time i legitimately SWAM, like laps. and then there was today!
i consider any day i exercise to be a day in which i'm doing something good for myself. regardless of how shitty i feel going into the workout, i'm always satisfied i did it afterward. swimming today was an awakening for me. i've always been a good swimmer, but since i haven't done it in a long while, i was supremely rusty. but it makes me want to become better. YAY!
last night i found the century ride i want to do. it's dubbed "america's most beautiful ride." bring it on! so tomorrow i'm wrapping my quads and trying to get in a bike workout.
positive self-realization today: i am a good dresser. take that, poorly-styled girlfriend of one of my crushes!

something good for me today?
A HOT BATH. WITH MY MORNING JACKET PLAYING. AND LEMONGRASS CARDAMOM BUBBLES. yes, please!
i also decided to take care of my quads; they are very sore and a long bike ride and dancing last week weakened them just so that today, during soccer practice, i thought i was going to fall down. ice and compression, baby!

the first day
so i decided to start this blog as a good friend/soul sister of mine noted there's some negative stuff going on inside my mind about myself.
this blog is going to make me think about the ways in which i'm good and the good things i've done for myself. it'll also just be a place to get out all the thoughts. warning: this may seem self-indulgent at points. there, you have been warned.
yesterday i drank red wine. i enjoy red wine but often don't drink it because i often don't buy it and i don't want to drink it when i'm out or else i'll be a sleepy kitten at said bar or restaurant. so my housemate and i drank red wine, talked, listened to radiohead and pink floyd, and lazed around. all in all, a really wonderful way to pass a day.
and today i cleaned out a set of drawers (with the intention of finding a disc for my computer... no luck... but i think i know where it is). i also cleaned up my room yesterday, so my space is something that i enjoy being in rather than just some weird clothes dumping ground and a bed.
slow steps to learning to love me more.
