The ABCs of... ME!

Before we get to our regular scheduled blog post, I promised Fairytales and Fitness that I would post a picture of myself demonstrating the IT Band stretch my PT taught me. The IT Band is still somewhat of a mystery to me, and I never really “felt” it being stretched when I tried the stretches I found on Google. But this one… this one, I can really feel it!!

Notes:

Be sure your hips don’t roll forward and back.

Notice how my left leg is straight and still aligned with my body?

Okay, I hope this helps! Or at least got a laugh out of my ridiculousness. Maybe I should start every post off with an awkward picture of me trying to stretch my IT Band.

Now, to our regularly scheduled programming…

Alright, this is a new idea I had for a blog series so you could get to know me a little bit better. I urge other bloggers to join in, too! All you do is go through the alphabet and think of words or phrases that describe you and your life. (I’m sure you had an assignment like this in middle school language arts class, right!?) I’m not going to do the whole alphabet in one post, I’m going to break it into chunks. So here is Part I of a new series I created called…

 For better or worse, that is often how I operate.

 My husband often tells me I'm funny, and that my sense of humor is "blunt". 

(Not to be confused with rude!)

 You thought I was going to say cats, didn't you? 

Well, surprise. I really like cake, too!

 I tend to set my mind to certain things and nothing stops me.

I like to be early for things. That is not to say I am never late.

 But I'd prefer to be early than to be on time!

 I walk fast, I talk fast. If my ass isn't on the couch, it's moving fast.
