• I like when I have my entire day planned food and activity wise.  My goal for water is 150 oz or more, so I better start drinking!
• Sadly I woke up this morning at about 5:50 am (TPWSNBN had to leave earlier for a meeting) and have had a headache ever since.  I keep having these weird dreams about creepy stories, and I am not sure where that is coming from.  It makes no sense really.  Unless my mind is like “Write this stuff down!  IT’S GOLDEN!  IT’S THE NEXT TWILIGHT FRANCHISE!”  I figure I can’t sell out as an author, because have never sold in?  No that doesn’t make sense.. I’ve never sold anything at all, so I figure if I can get published with some teen paranormal romance, I can build my street cred (Library Cred?) later.
• I have three novels, that even though they exist in a very very rough state, they still exist.  One I wrote about 4 years ago, and is horrible.  It’s worse than twilight.  It’s contrived, and frankly, I was a contrived person then, so it all makes sense.  The other one I wrote as a National Novel Writing Month piece.  It too is contrived, but less so.  I actually really like that piece.  I am actually still very proud that this piece of writing came out of me.  The third piece was my horrible attempt at scifi/fantasy.  It’s realllllllly bad.  Like I need someone to come in and tell me how bad it is to my face so I maybe sit down and try to fix it, because right now, even though I know it’s bad, I still partially think it’s perfect.  I am a bipolar critic of myself.
• Do you watch the Bachelor?  I’m actually really into this season.  I saw myself in Tierra (I know, WHY AM I ADMITTING THIS.).  Let me explain.  I was Tierra, in high school and beginning of college.  I wasn’t evil like her, but I was very much the drama queen when it came to boys and especially other girls.  Especially other girls around boys I liked.  Granted, I was never in the bachelor situation, and I am not sure I would last through night one with all that DRAMZ, but I definitely remember sobbing to my mom about the fact that so and so didn’t like me or whatever.  So maybe I wasn’t like Tierra.  Maybe I just ugly-cry like Tierra does.  The dent in my face is also on my cheek, not my forehead (no joke when I first typed that I typed ‘whorehead’. hmmm)

• So I’m on Vine, which is an app that you can share 6 second looping videos of whatever over social media.  Hey it’s a way to pass the time. 
  • Hobbit Feet
  • Blarney Dog
  • Awkward Video of Me waving in the Bathroom Mirror
• It’s a fun app to waste time and share little blurbs of your life with the world.  I like all social media, because I believe when used for good, and not evil, it benefits the world (The more you know *)
• So I did Jillian Michaels Extreme Shed and Shred yesterday and really liked it!  IT WAS HARD (i.e. you start with burpees) and complex (i.e. I have no coordination when it comes to martial arts moves) but it was amazing.  I burned over 400 calories (about 5 Activity Points) and had the sweat in my eyes affect from the workout – which always equals a great workout to me!  I might do level 2 on Friday after my run depending on how I am feeling and time.
• Saturday is my 7 miler.  I want to do this outside but it all depends on the weather.  I was contemplating may be doing the 7 miler on Friday and then an easy 3 on Saturday with the DVD.  That way I can just transition from treadmill to DVD easily.  I don’t know.  I know I need to up my game though.  I know my body is getting used to being in this type of activity state and I can’t let that occur.  I can’t let my body get used to anything.  I really don’t want to have to start P90x but, I will if I have to.  You hear that body?  I WILL LET TONY HORTON OWN YOU.
• Have you heard of Oil Pulling?  It makes me gag thinking about it, because man, oil in your mouth for 20 minutes?  But apparently people swear by it.  I might try this tomorrow morning and report back.

What are your Wednesday Plans, workout or otherwise?

Do you oil pull?

Where do you think Tierra got her head dent?
