Greetings and Salutations,
I have written back in June 2006 that I starting using kettlebells to work out. I don't know how long I was using them, at least 6-8 months, but I did stop working out with them. I have decided to get back into them about 2 weeks ago.
I was re-examining why I stopped working out with them. I don't know. Maybe I just didn't want to do them and was lazy.
I have gained a bit of weight and I think it was time to do something about it before it gets out of hand. My main area of concern is my abs. What I like about using the kettlebell is that it will work out my whole body so I don't have to obsess about just working out with my abs.
I am going to keep things simple. There are 2 main exercises that are good for overall cardio conditioning and they are the swing and the snatch. The snatch is a bit difficult but I did manage to learn it pretty good when I first started out. I have decided to make the swing my main focus and then add other exercises such as cleans and presses.
There are so many different exercises to do.
I go to the dragondoor forum (which is where I originally learned about kettlebells) and many people seem motivated to get really strong and for their job (as some are cops or firefighters).
I just want to look good in a bikini with some nice flat abs. I don't need to be totally ripped.
I don't like exercising but this kettlebell seems to be the most efficient thing for me to do and I like being efficient.
I have noticed my abs are looking better and so do my legs. I think I should be up to par in about 1-3 months.
I think I would like to take a workshop at some point since I've done my learning from a dvd.

A test retaken
I took this quiz on December 11, 2006. My seduction style was originally Midas Touch. It now is different.

Happy New Year!
Greetings and Salutations,
Today is the beginning of the new year. I've been reflecting on my life this past year. My main highlights were going to Vancouver for a vacation, moving out of the parent's house and being independent and using my ortho c lens to improve my vision and switching to contacts from glasses as my vision slowly improves.
I am looking back and thinking I didn't get to do all the goals I set out for myself. I don't know if it's a combination of not having enough realistic expectations and needing to get over my tendency to procrastinate.
I feel like I am perpetually behind because I am one of those people who 'blooms slower'. I guess we all grow and evolve at different rates but I feel behind because I have moved out on my own at what I perceive to be the old age of 28. Other things that haven't quite worked out for me yet that causes me to feel this way is not having a serious relationship. Lots of people my age have already begun this process of marriage and making babies. And the other annoying task of finding a suitable vocation.
I am generally not a stats fan but I am putting some down because I love numbers and if I think about numerical things, it will help distract my mind from the fact that I am in desperate need of some sex. The average age worldwide for a woman to marry is 26.8 years. In Canada it's 27.4. So I should have been married sometime in 2006 between the months of May and June. (I was born January 13, 1979)
I'm pretty confident, however, that I will attain all of my heart's desires. The big question is how long is it going to take.
I have made significant progress in my qigong practice. I've had several important cathartic moments and have managed to significantly reduce the tension in my neck, head and face. I do not know why I haven't considered my improvements as a highlight of this year, especially since I have been able to initiate spontaneous self movement after 8 months of regular practice even though it normally should take one 3 months of practice. I guess I don't consider it a highlight since I still have more clearing to do in my head area.
My plans for the new year is to go to England, France and Spain. For a while now I have been pondering where I want to go travel next and I had a vision of these 3 countries in a dream and so I decided to make my way this year. I actually went for my passport a few weeks ago and received it a few days ago so now I can legally fly out of this country.
I want to leave my job as well. I've had enough of what I've been doing. I am not sure what to do next. I am not sure if comedy is my true calling or if I should just go back to school.
