*Day 12*

Happy birthday to meeeee! /forever alone

I was actually extremely lucky to have awesome, thoughtful friends, who spent yesterday with me to celebrate my birthday. However, we ate quite a lot of junk food, and I went out with my family for dinner + CAKE! So this next week I need to work harder to burn off those extra calories. It was totally worth it, though. I didn't expect nor deserve so much love from my friends, and I was completely blown away by their kindness and how much they cared about me. It's just a really good feeling to know that you are loved, and I was deliriously happy for the whole day.

Today I did Cardio Recovery, and was able to do everything except holding on to the squats/lunges. My legs started burning within 5 seconds, and I had to stand up. How those people do it, I have no clue. It was pretty nice and relaxing, though, and I got a great stretch. I was pretty scared and distracted for the last third of the video, though, because I saw a spider the size of a quarter scuttling all over the floor I was stretching on! I panicked and had to step on it quite a few times before I actually hit it. For the rest of the video, I was nervously looking around, so I didn't get as good of a stretch as I should have. I really hate insects/arachnids/creepy crawly things. 

Also, I have photos! I'm too embarrassed to post them just yet, though, so I'll save them for the end, when I can see tangible results.
