Jumping the gun...

As I stated in my first post, I started some of the tasks on my list before I officially started the list therefore I have some blogging to catch up on.

#94 - Take a yoga class

I along with several of my friends from school decided to try out a yoga class at a nearby studio. Bikram Yoga is not only a ninety minute long class of twenty-six different postures; it is also held in a 105 degree room. I was planning on posting pictures of the things on my list as I completed them, but I would not want a picture of me after one of these classes floating around on the web. I didn't know it was possible to sweat as much as I have during yoga. The first ten days was only ten dollars and I went four seperate times during that time period. Unfortunately, after the first ten days the price goes up to $15/class so as a poor college student I do not see it becoming part of my daily routine. Maybe I'll just do my own Bikram Yoga class in my dorm room...it gets hot enough on the third floor.

#87 - Send Brian the Sticky & the Brain picture

Words cannot express how much I love this picture. If you don't know Staci or Brian this picture may not make much sense, but to me it sums up their relationship quite nicely. And although Brian may try and claim that he felt insulted by this picture, I know that he secretly loves it.

#8 - Give up fried food for 3 months

Started on February 3rd and I honestly may decide to renew it for another 3 months afterwards. Tentative end date is May 3rd.

#81 - Send the Floyd House a care package

The Floyd House is a house that is owned by the Christian Appalachian Project in Martin, KY where a group of long-term volunteers live as a community. I spent a week there over winter break doing housing work with several of my good friends from camp this summer. Everyone at the house was extremely welcoming and made me feel completely at home for the entire time I spent with them. I also helped one of my very good friends, Staci aka Sticky, into the house to start her year of service with CAP and included her very own copy of the Sticky & the Brain masterpiece in it. And Sticky in her typical amazing style sent me back an amazing care package with not only several notes from awesome people, but also my own special pieces of Kentucky - rocks and a stick from Location X. It made my heart so happy.

#15 - Join a gym and go an average of 3x/wk for the duration of the list

This is one of the things on the list that can never be checked off until the last day. Or I guess you could say every day is a little portion of the check mark. I joined the local YMCA about a month ago and I absolutely love it. Only another 33 months to go. (If my math is right, which is not always guaranteed.)
