Whoa...100 Workout!!

Okay, so have any of you been crazy enough to try the "100 workout"?
I found out about it on Tumblr and I decided to try it tonight because I've been looking for a workout that fits into my specific needs.  Basically I'll give you the general idea:

100 Workout:
100 Jumping Jacks
90 Crunches
80 Squats
70 Leg Lifts
60 Jumping Jacks
50 Crunches
40 Squats
30 Leg Lifts
20 Jumping Jacks
10 Minute Run
Okay... so if THAT isn't insane, I don't know what is.  All of those workouts raise your heart rate significantly.  Guess how far I made it tonight?  Not very far.  I made it to 100 Jumping Jacks, 90 Crunches, 80 Squats, and I think 30 Leg Lifts.  Oh my god, I was DYING.  *Come on now, cut me some slack, I had surgery only a month ago*
Moving along.. I'm going to try and do this again tomorrow night and see how far I get and I will update you.  I won't be updating every day since this is not a workout/fitness blog, hahah.  But comment and let me know if any of you have been NUTS enough to do this!!!  I don't know if I'll ever get all the way through!
<3 Goodnight

Beginning of a Short Story

Give opinions?


It's called Dependency.

-------------------

He has a fixation to methadone, heroin and ecstasy.  I cannot help but be completely and utterly terrified that one of these days I’m going to come home to find my husband expired slumped over the side of the bathtub as if he was attempting to drown himself due to his conscious filled with spite but instead he unintentionally overdosed.  His horrible addiction intimidates me.  What would be the most pertinent thing to tell my son when he is mature enough to understand that his father was a screw up?  Right now he can probably hear me weeping through the amniotic membrane that he is going to be trapped in for the next 3 months.  The last thing I want to do is burden my child before Jaelan can even comprehend the real world that he is soon to encounter.  I named him Jaelan after his father, Jay.  Sometimes I regret naming him after the horrible man he has become.  Instead I tend to look at him and see the old Jay that I fell in love with, married to and started a lovely family with.. or so I thought.  I would rather see that man than this broken down corpse that scarcely stands in front of me today.  A lot of times I sit around wondering what could have been.  

The Wrath of Nurture

I can be belligerent,
But as time goes by, I can feel my heart augment.
Anguish creeping back up from the burnt pages of my past,
I can recollect,
But I prefer to neglect. 
The shards of glass have fallen from the Skyy,
Suddenly everything seems awry.

Life Has Been Crazy, Mind Has Been Hazy

A new addition to the family has appeared.  No I'm not talking about a baby.  I'm talking about a kitten.  Of course I am.




She is absolutely beautiful but she makes me feel like a crazy cat lady.  I already have one cat but she despises everything and anything.  This adorable little girl is the exact opposite.  She loves everything.  Mostly me, though.  I could tell from the moment we brought her into our humble abode (Heh..could have fooled me) that she was going to be my loyal cat. 

But due to the new addition in combination with quitting my job, I have had zero time to write. 
I have been working on some pieces of art and other things though.  I cannot live a life without creativity.  I'm sorry.  But I just can't do it.  I'd rather be a struggling artist than be doing something that I hate.  Life is too momentary to be selling yourself short.  I'm going to live my life.  I'm going to travel.  And I'm going to express myself.  And I love that about myself.
