Since I've started dance (and recently gained ten pounds soley by eating chocolate - yes I'm pissed at myself.) I'm starting to become a little bit of a health nut. O_o Nothing extreme like not eating things I enjoy on occassion, but I'm trying to watch what I eat and such. Plus, I'm triyng to drink mroe water (all I drank today was water! Im proud) becuse most of my sugar comes from drinks, and sugar is hard on your body.

I'm also trying to get into even better shape than I used to be. I don't want to be a muscle babe, but I want to be toned and flexible. *nodnod* So I'm doing my stretches everyday (or most of them; my knee is really bothering me and some of them stress it out when I need to be resting it. I'm not sure what I've done to it.) and have started doing crunches and push ups. I used to be able to do a hundred crunches, now I'm down to fourty. XP I've also come to realize I need more upper body strength, even though I'm a female dancer, so I'm doing push ups. UGH. THEY'RE SO HARD. T_T I'm reduced to doing the girly push ups when you're on your knees instead of your toes, and can barely do ten. I'm still not doing them quite right; idealing you should be nearly touching the floor, and I'm only going halfway. Baby steps~

I'm also doing the Tibeton Rites, which are something the Tibeton monks do every day. It balences out your chakras and makes you overall healthier, as well as look younger. I've only been doing them for a week and a half though; they're very simple, and honestly just stuff children do, but they're a lot harder/more tiring than they look. Usually I would be reaaaally skeptical about stuff like that, but I've watched the effect they've had on my mother so... I believe it. o_o And I am getting more flexible again, even with me not religiously stretching, so I think it has something to do with it!

Just a random journal. I felt the need to talk about it. XD
