i feel great. i have been doing my school work and really like it. i have been listening to music all summer long. i really love Katy perry and lady gaga. i have been collecting owls because they are my favorite animal. i have an owl hat, 2 stuffed and a poster.

i did the boat regatta with tevi and we won most creative design. we were a giant croc, you know like the shoe! we were pink and sunk 2 times! it was so much fun.
 i have also been doing storynory and mory with tevi.

we are all very exited and busy getting ready for the trip to Utah. i love our moterhome, is name is shorty and is going to Utah with us.

I can’t wait! The hunger games movie is out in DVD in August.  Mom said that we would get it as soon as it comes out.  I read the first and second books in the series and really liked them. The third book was boring.  I personally thought that it was all politics and I am 11 so didn’t care much for that. Mom read them too so she really wants to watch them too.  

more summer activites

 I love the fair. I love all the rides, i love the crazy hair and deliciously fried food. But most of all i like going and spending time with my friends.
This year I am going with 3 friends to celebrate a birthday and have all kinds of fun. We are going to see a concert called Hot Chelle Rae. it is going to be really cool. Only one thing, were at the state fair so I need some money.so I have been doing extra chores like washing the dishes and take the dog for LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of walks.  When I go to the state fair we will get lunch, crazy hair and go on really fun rides.  We will also get some souvenirs. I cant wait, it will be so much fun.

Also, I am in the musical called Godspell.  My part is Joanne and I sing a solo, duet and, three part. The thing i like best about the play is all the little lessons.  I also like all the acting in the background, its silly and circus-y.  I love being on stage while acting and singing so this is the perfect project!

The last thing i've been up to is something called story nory mory on the radio with my friend Tevi. Story Nory Mory is a show were we listen to storys and tell alittle more about the. We have been doing a lot of Greek stories lately, such as the Oddessey.

my summer so far

This summer has been great!  We have planed a trip to Utah (for this fall), gotten a new baby cousin (born on June 14) and have had lots of sunshine to play in.  I have been listening to a lot of music on Pandora  and reading lots of books. Right now I am reading this great series called the_beacon_street_girls by Annie Bryant. It is so good that I can't put it down (I read 9 chapters when I told mom I would only read one....oops!)

I set up a really cute moshi monster.  She is a poppet which is like a teddy bear and is so cute!!  I think moshi monsters is really fun.

Exercise. Yep, I have  slow down, too muchy. so i have one week to alter my goals and get in gear or......... THE DEAL IS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! horrible as it is i am going to make it work.  and that means stop thinking about only push-ups and sit-ups and think of quality not quantity, motivation and doing things without being told.  I am gonna learn to do things (without being reminded) and to stick to my goals.

 and that is it for this month, ciao!!!!!!!!!

Motivation

Motivation. What is it? I will tell you what it is. Motivation is a feeling of inspiration that helps you make a plan and execute it. Just like my exercise program. Oh, by the way, I am not doing to good. Want to know why? Because while the exercise is at the back of my head, more important stuff is at the front.  My mom keeps trying to get me to do my exercise but I am thinking of other stuff like a movie or book, and I have really been slacking on writing in my blog.

 

My motivation. My motivation to do the exercise, record it and write in my blog without being asked. My motivation is on top of a mountain in Brain-Land, locked in a chest with the key just out of reach. But I am going to set it free and work harder than I ever have before. I will do my stuff without being told and get what I want. I am going to unlock my motivation and reach the goal. But to do this I must reach the key. I think of my inspirations such as mom and that i-pod. I also think of not having those things and I reach the key. “Click.”  My motivation is unlocked and at the top of my head.

one month ten days doing good

One Month and ten days in and still doing good.......

·         Running and walking.  Today I ran to the post office non-stop with my legs feeling like gust of wind that never wanted to stop.  I could out run a tornado as it spins and twists threw the sky. Feeling a wonderful stretch a smile springs up on my face.  I feel as if I can out-run anything. I love this feeling, and not doing it to often makes me sad.  Sad like the when the rain is falling and no one is outside or when a dog has lost its bark forever.  I yearn to do it more often and that is what I will do.

·         Pushups.  I can really feel the muscles in my arms getting stronger.  Stretching and growing.  Becoming stronger. So strong that I could lift up a grown elephant. When I do my pushups I feel as if can do anything at all.  Like climb the Empire State Building or fly or even solve a great mystery.  It’s like I have changed genders as I switched from girl pushups to boy pushups but the whole time I have stayed the same.

·         Sit-ups. When I do my sit-ups my mind and soul leave me and let my body do its job.   The mind and soul hop on the butterfly express and travels somewhere warm and nice, sending me postcards and giving me happy thoughts.

·         Flexibility. I don’t know what to say. I mean, I am not quite sure if I am doing good or bad. It’s as if I am not sure I like the song or not. Is the tune great or bad?  I’m not sure what to do. I am just glad that I can finally touch my toes! There is only one thing I can and that is work harder.

·         Motivation. Motivation is everything.  It is your strength and your accomplishments. In ways it is who you are and the choices you make.  I am so glad I am at least ok with my motivation to make this decision to keep going. I need to work on it some more like a fish has to work on swimming upstream.

15 days and still kickin

Day 15, I've had a pretty good workout so far. The highest I have gotten is 35 situps and 25 pushups, so I need to be able to do around 20 more of each!  Mom says that I need to work on my form and flexibility more, and I'm doing that by streaching.  Some days my muscles are really sore and I cant do my exercise very well because I push myself too hard....NOTE: pace yourself!

I have not been running or walking because it has been very muddy and mom says that's okay.  But now that the mud has dried up I have been riding my bike with Vega, who just learned.

My motivation level is OK but I need to work on it. I am feeling very proud of myself and feel as if i already have achieved something great. I am working really hard for a new electronic and am getting a stronger body too!

Earning my iPod

Ok, this is what’s up.  Mom offered me a really, really good deal where if I do enough exercise she will buy me an iPod! I have to do 40 push-ups, 50 sit-ups and run around XY Lake nonstop at the end of the summer.  I will also work on my flexability.

                We’re going on a road trip to Utah next winter and mom thought it would be better if I had an iPod and Vega had a DSI, but we have to earn it.

           
     I would like a pink or red iPod with red head phones (if possible) and all of my favorite music.  Some of my favorite singers are: Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and the Black eyed peas. I am just so excited about it!

                To reach my goal I will do more sit-ups and push-ups everyday until September 3^rd, and keep track of my progress in a notebook.  I will also keep up my blog and do more chores.  This will be fun!!

Keep reading!!!
