And now the most unflattering photo of me ever:

But SO much fun & what a good stretch for the back.  I can't believe back in my day I was doing back walk-overs on the balance beam... easily!  And I can't believe I'm using a phrase like "back in my day."  You always hear people talk about "when you get old", yada yada... and while I'm certainly NOT old, I'm not as nimble as I once was. 

The oddest sensation is that my brain still makes sense out of certain moves, it's just that I don't trust my body to respond appropriately.  And better safe than sorry, know your own limits and all that. 

As I posted in a past blog, it's important to stretch.  I've been trying to be nicer to myself... In fact, this morning I made sure to wake up 10 minutes earlier to do a few yoga poses.  SO worth it. ::STRETCH::

CELEB FITNESS:

I know a lot of people think that Miley Cyrus lost too much weight, which is up for debate.  She certainly shouldn't lose anymore, but check out this before and after:

I CAN'T POST THE ACTUAL PIC SO YOU'LL HAVE TO CLICK HERE TO SEE IT.  

She looks fit, right?!  I find that especially on Tumblr you'll find these "thinspiration" blogs which I'm weary of, MANY promote a very unhealthy lifestyle.  I do appreciate the blogs out there that are dedicated to healthy foods/lifestyle/exercise & fitness and show a person's results.  For them, it's motivation to keep going towards their goals and to maintain... for others, it's inspiration to begin their own journey.

Instead of a cookie (which turns into a ROW of cookies), I've been snacking on Kind bars, blueberries instead of candy... and I like it! Let's see if I can keep it going.

I also just ordered this:

ANOTHER LINK BECAUSE I'M NOT ALLOWED TO POST PICTURES THAT DON'T BELONG TO ME, WAH.  CLICKY CLICKY.

I did a little research, apparently this woman is Miley's Pilates trainer.  It'll be nice to practice something that doesn't cause rope burn and nasty bruises for once, haha, jk.

Maybe I can also find one of those gymnastics barrels on Amazon too?  That'd look awesome in my small apartment.

Have a great day!  Xx, W

UPDATE:  I thought this was a cool comment, which my friend Lauren agreed I could re-post:

I love how she's so positive!
