Trying new things

Sorry I've been incredibly absent lately. I keep forgetting that this blog exists! I'll try to keep updating my workout progress as well as my other goals. For whose sake? My own, really. I realize that maybe two people read this blog (Hi, Mom and Grandma!)

This week I've tried a few new things.

1) Weight lifting. I mentioned a few weeks back how I was utterly terrified of the weight room. I was good at squats and tried the dead lift, but still felt out of place. Well, that has been conquered. I took my friend to the gym with me today. Somehow having someone else to show around and teach gave me confidence. We did squats and dead lifts, then I bench pressed for the first time in my life. It felt great.

2) Handstands away from the wall. I've been practicing handstands to reach my goal of a handstand press but haven't yet done handstands away from the wall. Yesterday I practiced with a friend and was able to stay up on my own for a few seconds!

3) This delicious recipe. They were an instant favorite.
