Interesting choices.
The horse the size of a pony, with some fancy footwork, and the Fjord with its darn cool mane.I'm not sure what horse is my favourite, personally.

1. I go to exhibitions regularly. today I visited an exhibition of saints and relics at the British Museum, the exhibition presented amazing relics from early Christianity up to the late middle ages, including pieces of the true cross.
earlier during the day I visited an exhibition about American freemasons in history at the Freemasons Hall.
2. I STILL do Yoga.
3. Since my wife has switched to full time studying, for the past 6 months or so I've been making breakfast, lunch, and dinner pretty much on a daily basis. despite my wife's amazing cooking talents, I have to say that for these past months I've been eating very well
4. I aim to start a dissertation about Islamic and Viking archaeology soon.
5. I visited the Pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall of China, Stonehenge in Britain, and excavated in the site where Richard the Lionheart defeated the forces of Sultan Saladin.
6. I went on a 6 months backpacking trip accross Europe.
7. I still travel. and for the past year I visited France and Israel several times, visiting Brittany and Cognac, two regions in France which up until now I have not visited, and also visiting places in Israel that I've always wanted to go to, like the Knights Templar tunnels in Acre, which I found to be very impressive architecturally and historically.
8. I've been in living London for the past 10 months, although my wife wants to move to Israel, Im trying to make the best out of living here, I love London and enjoy much of my time here.
9. Recently I did a security course with people who live or currently live in London, many of them from all over the world. it was very interesting to do it with people from Algeria and Egypt for example. I still keep in touch with some of them.
we were Christians, Muslims, and Jews in class. Krav Maga instructors, veterans, and other people who want to enter the security field.
10. Me and my friends love sleeping in the outdoors. during the evenings we place large cooking pots on a bonfire, and slowly roast beef with root vegetables.
11. I did a 80 KM (50 miles) forced march in about 16 hours.
12. Although I am agnostic or atheist, I have a lifelong passion for studying world religion. I read anything I can get my hands on, from the gnostic gospels, to Christian history, to Jewish Kabbalah, and Islam.
My wife and I aim to do advanced academic degrees about Western Esotericism in the future.
13. I've read the Christian bible and the Qur'an in two languages, but neither of the books in their original languages- Koine Greek and Classical Arabic.
14. I am reading Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code for the first time, and I'm loving it.

Another addition:
I have jumped into strength training recently. I never did this before because I was worried about "bulking up" too much and having Popeye arms....which are weird on tiny women.
I can do 50 pushups now, and I haven't bulked up like I thought I would, although my arms are taking shape differently than they have in the past. The wild thing is that my caloric intake is much higher now, and in spite of my experience of going through eating disorders, I'm counting my calories daily again, but with a different mindset - I want to make sure I'm eating to SUPPORT my strength training and that I don't hurt myself.
Much different mindset. MUCH different mindset.

When I put myself on a strength program. I keep to a key element: using my own body weight in a diverse set of exercises. it keeps a long term strength, proportional, I would call it 'real strength' perhaps, one that doesn't involve pumping iron as it were.
something I've picked up in the Israeli army. its pretty Spartan, but it works.
During the months before one of my last travels to Israel, I had plenty of time on my hands. I did a complete workout on the mat, which covered the core muscles, plenty of pull ups, and a regular run using the interval method (speed work), all this was a single program. the instructor who built the program with me was surprised that I asked to exclude weight lifting and machines from my program, especially when aiming to build my strength, however as we first ran my program and he saw me exercise and run, he had a wild smile on his face and said that I am in amazing shape.
in addition I did plenty of swimming, yoga, pilates, stretching and a total stretch class.

Very much so! I'm meticulous about making sure I have the right cocktail of nutrients that does a body good. I'm not concerned at all about the number on the scale as much as I am about my ability to run, to grip, to lift/pull/push, to stretch, play with the space around me, and to accelerate and play with speed.
I'm set to be in better shape now closing in on 40 than I was when I was half my age. And I love having that goal and knowing just how attainable it is.
My strength training comes in the form of all the various push ups one can do (it's like there's over a thousand different ways to push yourself off the floor, lol), the various squats, and a few hundred different core exercises in addition to running and my yoga program.

we sound very like minded in this regard. I love playing with the diversity of push ups, and there are so many options and goals to fool around with. and I love to do squats, I do 'prison squats'
one good thing I like about yoga is that it challenges you to expend your work out. for example, it pushed me to try pilates. the fact that you work so many groups of muscle in yoga is one of my favourite things about it.

:highfive: for yoga!
I have a goal of doing handstand pushups at some point, like gymnasts do, and once I get there I want to challenge you to an armwrestling match just for fun.
