A Day of Good Things

Bababaaaaa! I finished Part 1 today! Clocking in at 37k! A liiiittle concerned that's it's 10k longer than Part 1 of the previous draft, but it'll all get pruned down later. Debating whether to continue onward and upward tomorrow, or go back and do some tweaking. Maybe both?

Exercise wise, I did double what I did yesterday!! AND I didn't die too hard. Bought some shorts and my first sports bra today, so that's cemented me resolve to actually do this. My biggest problem seems to be my wrists (from carpal tunnel) and my ankles (from my lifelong habit of walking on tip-toes) Not really sure what I can do about this, but I'm hoping they'll both get stronger than more I do.

In other crazy exciting news (to me at least!) I've found the soundtrack from 2002 Peter Pan by James Newton Howard on Spotify!! It's not on the UK one, so I wasn't expected it to pop up when I searched for the Disney soundtrack today but hurrah!! 

Exercising Esme -- Day 1

So, I'm blogging about this to hold myself accountable, more than anything.

I am 5"1' and 113.4 pounds -- very reasonable -- and eat very healthily (can't really not as a mostly-vegan) but I have squish that I'd prefer not to have, and I haven't done any exercise since I was sixteen (besides walking) so I have a new resolution: To exercise every day.

I've been dithering about this for ages. mostly because I Don't Exercise. I just don't. That's not me. But yesterday I sucked it up, found myself a youtube video that didn't seem so scary, and today I started.

Ffffff---

I can write 10k in a day, but 30 mins of exercise is crippling. 

And today was the easy day. 

...

I'm going to treat it like I treat novelling, using the same pep and tough love plastered on my notebook.

- It'll get easier.

- Suck it up and get it done.

- Better done than not. 

- IT'LL GET EASIER!!!

(please please let it get easier!!)
