Committed

Not much to update on. I've been running a mile every morning for a week now and I feel like it's maybe helping? The first day was brutal but now I can get pretty far before the dry heaves set in ;)

Sorry for the lack of posting lately. Things have gotten crazy now that school has started back up. I'll really only be able post on weekend now especially because of school. School is my number one priority!

I've been trying to eat healthier but temptation is hard to resist and like I said before, I have little to no impulse control. Today I had a DELICIOUS omelette made by the one and only Jonathan Roemhildt. Two eggs, onions, green peppers, some cheese, and cut up beef sticks? Sounds questionable but it was actually awesome! I had Subway for lunch, Turkey on honey oat, WITH NO CUCUMBERS BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE NO CUCUMBER THING IS NATIONAL. <--- what the effing eff. Anyway, spinach, pickles, a little onion, mayo, and salt and pepper. Me and the boo split a little bag of the vinegar and salt chips too. I had a few pretzel crisps between classes and a slim fast bar. For supper I fried up some leftover potatoes (in olive oil which is far healthier AND tastier than it's non olive counterpart) and deer steak, which is also very lean! I had a small piece of apple pie with ice cream and a little popcorn so I probably broke even for the day. JUST MEANS I HAVE TO RUN HARDER TOMORROW :)

that's all for now. more soon. ♥

One Step at a Time

Well, so far I have ran 1.5 miles in two days and let me tell you, it is by no means because I am lazy. That 1.5 miles is already kicking my butt. My legs are extremely sore and feel like they haven't been stretched in years. To all my fellow MSP cadets think the first morning after real PT. Yep. It feels like that. I think this time when I finally get to the 'in shape' stage of this fitness thing, I'm going to try and stay there. For a long time. It's too much work to get there and quit and then trying to get there again. So far today i've eaten a peanut butter and banana sandwich on wheat bread, some laughing cow cheese on crackers, and some banana bread. Okay, so it's not the healthiest sounding.. but it could be a lot worse! I'm going to try doing a workout video tonight before I go to sleep so maybe that will cancel out some of that banana bread ;)

that's about it for now. i'm gonna try and have some before/after pictures up soon. stay tuned! :)

Time to Stop Wishing

This is the first post of many to come; My New Year resolution for 2012 is to get fit and lose weight and this year, I'm actually going to DO IT. Every year I feel sorry for myself and look at every other girl that passes me by and find another reason to hate yet another thing about myself. This year will be different. I want to be the girl that makes other girls jealous. I want to be the one to inspire another girl to do the same thing as I am going to. I finally decided that I'm through feeling sorry for myself. The only way I'll ever be able to like what I see in the mirror is if I decide to change it. Well, decision made. Starting tomorrow I will painstakingly try to give up junk food, soda, and... dare I say it? FAST FOOD. Now, to begin with, this will be extremely difficult. I have literally no impulse control and I tend to think of the satisfaction for now instead of the disappointment for later but I will have to, like many other things, change that. That's where you all come in. I will need all the support I can get. Don't get me wrong, I can be my own support system, too. When you are your own worst enemy, however, that can pose a few problems. Any kind words, motivational messages, or anything else will be greatly appreciated. That's about all for now. Much more to come, and SOON. Stay tuned!
