It's coming up on photo progress day: my cam, my tape measure, and no mercy. Who else is up for it?
Today I'm getting interviewed by a researcher for some sort of psychology/sociology project on Aboriginals' life experiences. It should be interesting, and I get a $25 gift card for my participation. Woo!
It's also gym day. Time to make those muscles bigger and stronger. This morning, while I languished in bed trying to get back to sleep after a premature wake-up, I contemplated changing the way I do my front planks. I think I'm going to attempt to hold 90-second crocodile asana, instead. I don't expect I'll be able to hold it for 90 seconds for quite some time, but when I can, well, I'll be impressed with myself.
In case you don't know what that asana looks like, it's this:

(Check out the website that picture is from. It looks like a nice yoga resource.)
Link time!
Judge Stuffed Acorns With Condoms: He handed them out to unsuspecting women. Even better, he's from Intercourse, Pennsylvania.
Squirrels masturbate to avoid sexually transmitted infections: What squirrels really do with their nuts.
Converse...pants?: I like these, but how on earth would you launder them?
Today's baking/cooking projects are:
- Vegetarian Boston Baked Beans
- Honey Yoghourt Cheese
- Flaxseed, Fig, and Walnut Crackers
Mmmm.
Holy crap, but I sure am looking forward to my weekend!

- Elbows bent, so the entire length of the forearm is on the floor
Essentially, the upper arm will be perpendicular to the floor, as opposed to parallel to it as in this version.

The crocodile position is a LOT harder, IMO. Regular plank doesn't do a whole lot for the arms, but the crocodile really works those triceps something fierce.
