mixing it up

Once upon a time I wanted to mix my workout up. I had heard from many sources that power walking works different muscle groups and can burn more calories than running. I can't attest to the truth of it burning more calories, but I can attest to the fact that you will feel like a dork power walking when you have your entire life labeled yourself as a runner. But let me tell you something, if you want to work your booty, DO IT. Maybe someday I should start a workout blog. Workout blog/ Chocolate Goodnesses I Bake blog. Called "how to get off to a healthy start and then demolish it with a fudgey brownie"

I feel like I have been demonstrating my butt workouts for people quite a bit though. Maybe I will post them. Or maybe you should just buy the Windsor Pilates video that I got them from.


8 days. Untill I am on a plane heading to the states. I still have so much to do and places to go one last time it will fly by I am sure.

I feel like I should write something about Ukraine.. on account of I live here...

Dear Ukrainian Men,

It's never ok to leave the house in just a mesh top. Mesh is for fishing nets. Please put on a real shirt.

Sincerely,
my gag reflex


alsooo... I read The Painted Veil last week. READ IT. It has landed itself a spot among my favorites. It's takes place in China during the 1920's. I would try to summarize it but it wouldn't do it justice, and everyone takes different things away from books anyway. And I am almost done with a new book called Secret Daughter, about a girl who was adopted from India and her family.

In conclusion, I am loving Kiev and this weather, and all the bbq's, and chilling with our well traveled international branch members, and my teachers and how awesome they are, and making chili and making plans for lasts in Ukraine.


luvs,
