Rambling about my second work out week.

I really like this new exercise. The first time I did this I did the exercise wrong but yesterday I did it right. This week consists of dancing and still doing the yoga. My legs are kind of sore from the exercises like I didn't stretch well enough afterwards.

One exercise I am doing is pulling my left knee to my chest, then my right, then landing in a squat position. I really like it because It kind of gives me a cardio and leg work out in one move. It doesn't say how long to do this exercise but then I learned that you're supposed to do it for the length of one song then switch exercises for the next song. That doesn't work for me b/c I'm not ready to push myself that much yet. So what I do instead is do the squat-move for one verse of the song then the chorus then I switch moves. I'll keep updating about how its going.

DISCLAIMER:

These moves are from seventeen magazine-August 2010.

anxious for Senegalese Twists

I am so anxious to get these twists in my hair! I'm probably going to get them next friday or so but i want them NOW for so many reasons. Mostly b/c I'm sick of my hair. I'm really tired of wrapping it every night and not getting into the pool b/c it's going to frizz. I've had kinky twists before and I liked those but senegalese (sin-uh-gleese) are smaller and longer from the pictures I've seen. I would get kinky twists but their so thick that I couldn't do anything with them but wear them down all the time. I couldn't put them in a pony tail or anything so they were boring. But these seem thinner. I haven't seen them in person but I like what i've seen on youtube and pictures on the internet. IDK what color I want. I know i don't want my regular color-maybe a light brown with a burgandy undertone? I'm not sure. Once I get these braids out, then I'm going to start the new hair routine I mentioned in my other blog. (epiphanymagaline.blogspot.com) But that won't be for a couple of months. :)

NOTE: neither of these pictures are of me.

They are random examples that

I found on the internet.

My terrible interview :'( And how you can find yourself a J-O-B

Soo.. my interview was HORRIBLE! I was so nervous and I didnt smile the whole time. I think I gave bad answers and I lied through the whole thing.
I THOUGHT the interview was going to be more like 'So what makes you qualified for this position?' or 'Why do you want to work at target?'
But they asked me questions more like 'When was the last time you saw that someone needed help and you helped them?' and 'Explain a time when you worked in a group and accomplished your goal'. What kind of questions are those? I mean I understand that they would help the interviewer know what kind of worker I am but those types of questions I can't study for.
Also, they didnt even ask the 'strenghts and weekness' question. That was a standard question for all interviews. I guess not.

And my sister said that there are three interviews and if you make it to the third one then you're hired. I didnt make it to the third interview BUT the lady who does the third interview wasn't there today and the girl who did my interview said 'You should be hearing from us soon'. So I don't know what that means. I've been on one other interview and the lady said that to me and I didn't get the job so I'm SUPER scared. I've been trying to get a job since I first turned 16- 9 months ago. And so far I haven't gotten one. :(

****************************

But I'll help you find a job and hopefully you'll get it:

-Check out SimplyHired.com, type in 'keywords' and your location.
good key words are:
'team member'
'cashier'
'server'
'waitress'
and things like that

-Go to CraigsList.com and look for jobs there.

-When you get an interview, go to their website to figure out what the company needs exactly for the position you're interviewing for.

Two days ago i decided to do a braid out in my hair (check out my other blog to get the whole story). It was cute and I loved it.

THEENNNN! like an hour after I posted that blog I got a call from target saying that they want me to go to an interview today at 1:30 today. So as much as I loved my funky-curly braid out, I had to flat iron it to have a more 'professional look' and I'm worried that my hair won't get straight enough. :/

My sister already works at target and she told me there are three interviews. If I get to the third interview then I know I got the job.

I'll tell you how it goes when I get back from the interview.

PRAY FOR MEEE!!!

Fitness Fact or Fiction?

Fitness Fact or Fiction?

intresting stuff that I never knew about exercising. things like exercising 'improves your ability to learn' and crunches doesn't help you get flat abs. click on the link and tell me what you think. (lol--rhyming)

videos and basketball

today I uploaded my first youtube video. even though i've had my youtube account since 2007, I'm just now using it. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page you'll get to watch me w/o leaving the page! (cool, right?) right now, my videos are a little rough but once i get more comfortable in front of the camera and learn how to edit them they'll be alot better for sure.
Also, LeBron's going to Miami Heat! I'm not a big sports fan- but I do know that with LeBron, Wade and Bosh all on one team--Its a wrap. its for sure that their going to win the playoffs. Eventhough their going to be the 'dream team', i think its going to be a boring season b/c whenever heat plays someone you automatically know whose going to win.

Seventeen Magazine Fitness Schedule.

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was trying to get into shape. 17mag just came out with a new 6-week fitness routine that I'm going to give a try. So far what i've been doing is cardio and yoga. Doing yoga is a good way to slowly bring your heart rate down and still work out. For cardio, one day I took my dog for a walk for about 15 minutes. Yesterday It was raining so I ran inside with the Wii Fit for 10 minutes.
What I like about this routine is that it's different from the other 'routines' i've tried. Most times i would get on the floor and do a lot of crunches then turn over and do some pushups and that would last me less than ten minutes. But this routine tells me how long to do things for so my work outs aren't as short and useless.
The hardest thing about working out for me is pushing myself. If I'm doing crunches or pushups and something starts to hurt i'll stop and give myself a couple of seconds to rest instead of working through the pain. Working through the pain is what usually gets you the results you want and thats something I'm going to work on.

Fitness Tip:

Your abs are just like your biceps: to make them stronger and tighter, you don't need to do 500 reps. Instead, try grabbing a 3-5lb weight. Place behind your head or on your chest and do one set of eight to fifteen sit-ups, working up to more sets as you get stronger.
