Photo A Day - Laundry

Since I didn't do laundry last weekend, I had two weeks worth of laundry to wash today. Which means two weeks of laundry to fold!







While I folded these, the bedding was being washed. Might as well get it all done, right?

Only one piece of my art is up in my apartment, it is the one piece I cannot seem to tuck away or throw away. Trust me as an art student, you simply cannot keep all the projects you want to, unless you rent storage space. Surprisingly, it is from the art class I disliked the most. I found the teacher infuriating and a waste of my time, each class I dreaded as he talked about his poor pathetic starving artist life and how much he disliked being a teacher, etc, etc. It was Figuring Drawing II, for our final project we had to draw the human form in a way that meant something to us. I had so many ideas about all these complex issues in my head. In the end, I drew what I desired most . . . to just find some inner peace.





And a close-up.





Definitely not the most complicated thing I have ever done, but probably one that has the most meaning.

And no, I still have not found the inner peace I so desire, but I am trying harder lately.

One of the magazines I hope to post a review of soon!








p.s. Yes that is an mp3 player over my address, as much as I love and trust all of you, I'm not quite that stupid.

Today we have two pictures, but of the same item. This is a crochet sock I am test crocheting. I like the way it is working out so far. I love the spring-like colors, but the husband doesn't like them, he says it looks like spring threw up on my foot. Such a sweetie isn't he?

Healthy Thursday

Pretty happy with this week and how I did.

Weight = 276 (down 1.4 lbs from last week)


Friday:
Exercise= 20 minutes on the stability ball.

Sweets= None.

Sleep/Mood = 7.5 hours, hoping to start the week off by getting my sleep correct.

Saturday:
Exercise= Arm exercises with weights, 3 sets of 10 reps with 8lb weights. I upped the sets by one this week because it is definitely doable. 20 minutes of Tai Chi, my hips and knees have been bothered a bit lately, so I wanted to stretch them a bit.

Sweets= None.

Sleep/Mood= Slept 10 hours last night, I guess my body really needed some catch up time. More importantly it was mostly good sleep.

Sunday:
Exercise= 20 minutes of abdominal work.

Sweet= 2 homemade brownies.

Sleep= Slept 9 hours, again good sleep. This weekend was definitely good on the sleep.

Monday:
Exercise= Arm exercises with weights, 3 sets of 10 reps with 8lb weights.

Sweets= None

Sleep= Ugh, as always, Sunday to Monday is not good. I got a lot of good sleep this weekend so I wasn’t tired enough. I got about 5.5 hours of sleep and it was crappy sleep, woke up numerous times. As with most days when sleep is less, I constantly felt hungry which means I didn’t feel good.

Tuesday:
Exercise = 20 minutes on stability ball. Arm exercises with weights, 2 sets of 10 reps with 8lbs weights. Only did two reps because my arms were too sore to do 3.

Sweets = 1 cup ice cream.

Sleep = 7.5 hours

Wednesday:
Exercise = 20 minutes of abdominal exercises.

Sweets = 1 pudding cup.

Sleep = 7 hours, I feel like I should have gotten more, but we had things to do like grocery shopping!

Thursday:
Exercise = Going to do 20 minutes of step aerobics tonight, after I make dinner.

Sweets = 1 pudding cup.

Sleep = 7.5 hours and I slept pretty good too, which is the more important aspect.


My goal for next week is to integrate more cardio into my workouts, since right they focus more around muscle toning/building. I can definitely feel some nice muscles building in my arms though, which makes me happy.
