Meeko, Cardio, Sketching (and random chatter)

Hey guys!

How do you guys always figure out what to blog about? Maybe it's just because I'm new to this whole blogging thing, but it takes me so long to figure out what I want to say to you guys.

I debated making a blog post about Skyrim today, but then figured that game was old and you probably wouldn't be interested. Then Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, but I don't know how to take pictures of that game, unlike Style Savvy. -sigh-

I really need to make a new gaming post though. My title 'Girly Gamer' is a little misleading unless I'm talking about video games too! I'll get a gaming post up soon though, I promise! If you guys ever want me to talk about a certain thing in particular, just let me know. I'll definitely look into it. (But expect my unbiased opinions!)

Oh! And good news! I did day 7 of the 30 Day Shred today, and I managed to get through the first 2 minutes of cardio (jumping jacks and jump rope) without taking a break or getting water!

You're probably like 'Two minutes?! That's hardly impressive Michelle!'

But oh, you'd be wrong! I am horribly out of shape. I might have a healthy BMI, but I am so out of shape it's ridiculous. Just two summers ago I mowed the lawn and then nearly passed out. Just pushing a lawn mower around the yard made me exert so much energy in the summer heat (okay, so it wasn't really that hot out) that I... I don't know what happened. Heat stroke? I remember feeling sick to my stomach, the room spinning and everything going really dark/dim until I sat down long enough and took slow breaths.

It wasn't fun.

And, anyway, the first 6 days of the 30 Day Shred, I had to keep taking breaks during the first cardio part. The first day, I felt like I was going to die while doing it and took way too many breaks. But now? Now, I'm awesome.

I just wish I'd start seeing results. But I guess I've been working out less than a week. Not even Jillian Michael's can make me fit into a size 4 this quickly!

In other news, Meeko got a collar finally! (unfortunately, not in pink like I wanted) So now, once it warms up some, I'm going to take him on his very first walk. It's exciting thinking that Meeko is so young, so he's going to be experiencing a whole bunch of firsts. Like his first Spring, and then his first summer, his first walk... I just hope the sounds from his first 4th of July won't frighten him too much!

Doesn't he look happy with his new collar?

I also got really scared today, because I noticed one of the bones he was chewing on was covered in blood! I checked out his mouth and found out it was only because he lost a couple baby teeth! Aww.

I'm actually pretty worried, because his adult teeth seem to already be growing in on his top row of teeth, without the baby teeth falling out. I'm hoping they'll fall out like the two today though. I don't want to have to take him to the vet to get his teeth pulled out. That just wouldn't be fun for him at all!

Oh! And I also wanted to show you guys some of my old drawings. I don't know why. I just like sharing random things from my life with all of you beautiful people, I guess. So here are some drawings I've done:

Anime-style line art (I loved drawing the violin!)

My attempt at a more realistic style!

And just to show you guys how bad totally awesome I am at coloring in Photoshop c:

I never draw anymore, unfortunately. Between video games, blogging, and getting in shape, I just have no time for it. At one point in my life, I was obsessed with it. And I wanted to get to the point where I was good enough to be able to have people commission me to draw for them. But then I got more hobbies, and I just don't have the time to keep working towards that dream anymore.

-sigh-

Oh well.

I think I'm going to go do another hour of 30 Day Shred. Because I sort of pigged out today. Whoops!

(Also, tomorrow, I'll probably be telling you all about the smoothie I'm planning to make. Yum! -excited- )

Until Next Time,
Bye Lovelies! ♥
