Rethinking..
Jan 31st
After thinking about my last post and what has happened today…I think I just need to chill and LISTEN TO MY BODY. If I’m not feeling up to par, then I rest. That’s it. I think I might start doing alternating stretch days like legs one day and then backbending the next day…I know some other people that do that. We’ll see. I’m still too full for fruity pebbles.
Frustrations.

Gah! I hate my body sometimes. My back doesn’t hurt while I’m stretching, but if I sit for too long it hurts. All day long. After I was done stretching yesterday and was uploading/editting the video I was sitting on the couch for I duno, maybe an hour…and then my back hurt mostly the rest of the night. Ridiculous! I do slouch a lot…that’s probably why. Or I sit really weird like I’ll have more weight on one side of my back because one leg is curled under me, I duno. I guess I just need to sit in back-approved positions haha.
And my back has hurt today pretty much since I woke up 
These are the kinds of things that make me question if my body can handle this. I SO want to be able to bend! It’s like one of the only things I REALLY want. And I might not be able to. Ugh!! Hopefully it is just soreness because I didn’t really stretch for 3 days and then stretched yesterday…hopefully. I need like a psychic healer to use their powers on me. It’s funny…I’ll imagine my L5 in my head…putting tape around it..healing the broken pieces. Imagining my osteoclasts/osteoblasts going to work; making new bone. But nothing happens. Maybe I just need a little faith? Eh. My mom’s bf is an orthopedic surgeon who believes people shouldn’t be ‘too flexible’ so I know he doesn’t support what I’m doing, especially with my back. Most people I know don’t support it actually. Screw it. I really want a bowl of fruity pebbles right now but I’m not even hungry haha. Maybe in a few hours…Time to relax.

My friend wants to stretch with me!! A guy she’s interested in does breakdancing and him and I were doing a few moves last night. She said she wants to get more flexible and maybe it can help with her back (she doesn’t have the greatest posture). She said she just wants to start with 4 days a week which I think is a good idea. Hopefully I’ll be a good teacher 
Soo basically..

I am stupid. I was counting every 4 weeks as 1 month..not every month has 4 weeks. Duh. Why did I not just count from the day I started contortion (10/6) and celebrate every 6th of the month? I don’t know. So technically I guess today marks 3 months of training.
I don’t think I’ve improved much over break. I haven’t really had time to stretch because we’ve been moving and taking crap out of boxes, painting, buying stuff, etc. Hopefully I’ll improve some before school starts! (1/20)
So…I should have a chest stand by at least 7 months..come on. Maybe even 4-5 months. Anyway, the 7 month mark (5/6) is around my birthday; May 10th! What a nice birthday present that will be! Well I’m gonna wait for dinner to digest and then, on to stretching. I was actually really sore yesterday for some reason, so I didn’t stretch as much as I could. I feel a little better today though. Bye!
