Thank you! I have no idea why I didn’t think of that :P Now I can comment again!
lame.
I love that the Tumblr app crashes every time I comment on someone’s post..
/end sarcasm.
spinning! again.
So I am considering today a legit spinning workout. I didn’t really get the full experience on Monday since we kept having to switch people on the bikes. But today, there were just enough bikes for everyone so we all got to stay on the bike the entire workout.
And holy crap was it intense. It hurt to sit on the seat since I was still a bit sore from last time, and the ‘hills’...
THANK YOU
Well firstly, I would like to thank everyone for being super supportive of me signing up for a marathon. I had originally intended to sign up for a half marathon, but there aren’t many options around here, and I wasn’t too excited about the one I was going to sign up for. After a little searching, I found a half-marathon/marathon that will take place in June of next year. I decided to...

I just signed up for a marathon (June 2012).
No big deal.
That is all.
half marathon?
I really want to sign up for a race. I feel as if it would help me to get my act together because I wouldn’t want to let myself down when it comes to race day.
I know I said I wanted to do the LA Marathon this upcoming year, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that it might not be a good idea. I don’t feel as if I could be ready mentally or physically by March. And I...
Dear self:
Stop being so fucking lazy in the mornings and don’t convince yourself that cheez-its and edamame make for a good lunch. You will be hungry later and you will binge on unnecessary food. Invest the time to make a healthy and nutritious lunch, because you’re investing in yourself.
Also, forgive yourself for the binging you just did because you can’t take it back now. It...
first spin class!
I just took my first real spin class! Since it’s at my college, it was a little different though. They over-enrolled the class, so there weren’t enough bikes for every student, so we had to keep switching. So while I was waiting for my turn, I did the treadmill for about 5 minutes in between 5.0 and 6.0. It was kind of nice to be back on the treadmill since I go so much faster haha....

Weight this morning: 180.8 pounds.
I’m surprised it wasn’t higher from this weekend’s shenanigans, so I’ll take it. My goal for August was to be 175 pounds or lower, and I still think I can do it. I didn’t drink much water this weekend, and ate a lot of sodium heavy foods, so I’m sure I’m retaining some water. It’s just more motivation to stay on...
next week's exercise plan.
Monday: Spinning. Tuesday: Run 1.5 miles. Wednesday: Spinning. Thursday: Run 3ish? miles (I haven’t mapped it out yet, but I think it’s about 3 miles). Friday: Hike with my brother, probably around 1.5 or 2 miles. Saturday: Run 3 miles. Sunday: Rest fo sho y’all.
The runs on Tuesday and Thursday will be around my brother’s school since I have to pick him up and I...
random ramblings.
Slowly but surely my wardrobe is being overtaken with workout clothes. Bought another sports bra tank today while at Target.
I also got some fish oil capsules after reading about the benefits. I rarely eat fish, so I’ll be getting much needed omega-3s.
Also, I’m currently computer-less for the next week, until I get a computer from my step-grandma to use until I can buy a new...
stress!
I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m slipping into old habits that I thought were gone. I thought I beat this. But I guess this isn’t something that is instantly solved.
During the summer, I had pretty much stopped binging. It took a few weeks, but I did it. I wasn’t binging at night after dinner, or on the weekends anymore. I was actually eating healthy...
My laptop just crapped out on me right as the first week of school ended.
Fuckkkkk.

Today I had the preliminary testing for my spinning class. Since it’s a college class, they have to see some measurable progress throughout the semester. All we had to do was a 1.5 mile run/walk, push ups and crunches. Nothing was graded, it was more of a starting point that we should be improving on.
We started with the run/walk. We did it at the school track, and I’ve never run...
Sitting in my car and waiting for my brother to get out of school while eating cherries and spitting the pit out of the window…
I’m a classy mofo y’all.
just one of those days.
Today is just one of those days where I don’t feel confident. While I was getting dressed this morning, nothing was fitting right and I just felt ultra bloated. I actually probably was bloated because I ate more chips than I should have last night even though I had already posted what I ate. I don’t want to get back into that habit again.
Anyway, I had a super cute outfit planned...

Healthy breakfast sandwich! A toasted double fiber english muffin with a slice of turkey bacon, cut in half, an egg, and half a slice of pepperjack cheese which you can’t see. I cooked the egg in a round cookie cutter so it would perfectly fit in the english muffin…yes, I’m a dork.
On my way to school I snacked on some string cheese. I took a picture of the cheese and a Luna...
mondayyyy!
It’s finally the first day of the new semester! I have class at 10:30 this morning, so I’m still chilling in bed and tumblin’. I also have my spinning class later today, but I doubt we’ll actually do a workout today, so I’m probably going for a run after my classes.
This weekend was honestly horrible. I don’t even know what came over me. I ate literally all...
productivity.
I think I am officially ready for classes start. I’ve spent all day yesterday and today getting everything I need and I’m organizing it all today.
I went grocery shopping finally and have a fridge full of yummies. I still have to cut up veggies, portion meat, and stuff like that, but it’s all purchased.
Since I’m taking gym classes at school, I’m going to be...
alternative.
I know I’ve mentioned this, but when I was counting calories, I usually planned my food for the day in the morning. This caused me to be anxious for everything I was going to eat and I was pretty much hungry all day, even if I had already eaten.
Now, I don’t count calories at all and just eat when I’m hungry. This has caused me to eat a lot less and actually prolong eating. I...

Caterpillar roll and seaweed salad makes for a very yummy dinner. Especially when all you’ve eaten today is frozen yogurt.
I was gonna take pictures, but I ate it too fast. Oops :-/
My dog and I are eating goldfish while watching NCIS. This is my life.
blahhh.
Classes start next Monday and I am not ready AT ALL. I have so much shit to do, and stuff to buy. I have no groceries and have pretty much been living on beans and rice. So I need to meal plan and make a list so I can get some stuff. I need to get necessary school stuff like pens. I need to make a plan for how this whole taking-fitness-classes-when-you-have-a-real-class-directly-after thing. I...
Lunch Ideas for Back to School.
I know I’ve been looking for new and creative ideas for lunches lately. I know I personally like to take food with me to school, mostly so I have something healthy with me for when I get hungry during the day. With school starting up for many within the next few weeks, I thought I’d give some suggestions for what you can take. These suggestions don’t need a fridge or microwave,...
possible TMI.
Even though I know my body doesn’t like certain foods, I still choose to eat them. Last night we had a barbecue and my mom made a lot of baked goods. I ended up having a beef hamburger, two cookies, a brownie, and some chips. Obviously not the best idea…
I woke up in the middle of the night with intense stomach pains that kept me awake most of the night. I’m pretty sure it was...
weigh in 08/12
Last week: 178.4
This week: 176.6
A 1.8 pound loss! I love being on track and seeing the numbers go down :) It does seem kind of surreal though because I’m actually getting back down to my lowest weight. I was there about seven months ago, but slipped up big time. Now I’m slowly but surely working my way back down!
LA marathon.
I think I’m going to sign up for the 2012 Los Angeles Marathon. I’ve wanted to run this race for six years, and only know is it a realistic dream.
It’s going to happen. Be on the look out for an official confirmation in the coming weeks :)
personal post: the future.
As much as I love California and the beauty it has to offer..I want out. I feel like there’s nothing here for me anymore. I can’t picture myself having an adult life here. I don’t want to grow old here. I don’t even see myself meeting a partner here that I could start a family and spend the rest of my life with.
However, since I go to school here, I have committed myself...
Ever since I hit the 170s, I have been sabotaging myself like crazy. I was fine most of Friday, but my mom made my favorite dinner and I went a little crazy. I tried to get back on track yesterday and today, but right after dinner I lost it. I have been doing so well lately, but I’m going back to old habits. It makes me really disappointed in myself because I know I can do better.

lunchbags.
Does anyone know where I can buy a cute insulated bag to pack my lunch in. I’ve been looking everywhere, and can’t find a cute one that isn’t meant for a five year old. Help?
Weigh in! 08/05
For the past three days, I have consistently weighed in at 178.4. I think it is safe to say that I am officially in the 170s (again). I knew most of the excess ‘weight’ from my weigh in on Monday was just water retention.
I also didn’t go running this morning, even though I was supposed to, but I’m thinking about going later tonight.
I finally figured out where to buy rice paper wrappers for spring rolls. The ones that have tons of fresh veggies and aren’t fried like eggrolls. I’m so stoked to finally make them! I’m thinking they would be great to take for lunch in between classes. There will definitely be pictured when I make them :)
Tomorrow is my sushi lunch with my aunt and I’m actually not...

While I wanted spiral fries, a corn dog, nachos, a caramel apple, candy, and various other things at the fair today, I know that eating those things would not help me reach my goals. The only thing I bought was a $2.50 water bottle (can you say rip off?).
However, that also means I was way under calories because I didn’t eat dinner and the last time I ate was at 2pm, and it’s almost...
tomorrow-the fair!
Trying to find an outfit that is cute, comfortable, and fits well is not an easy task. BUT I found a bag big enough to use to carry all my stuff tomorrow though: my Nalgene bottle, a smart water bottle (x2), sandwich, banana, carrots, wallet, and other little necessary things. I over think things too much…
While I was laying in bed this morning, I totally talked myself out of going for a run this morning. Then the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I really should go. So I hopped out of bed, put on my running clothes, ate a few bites of a banana, and left.
I only ran 1.5 miles, but it was better than nothing. I’m going to start tracking my runs on Daily Mile so I can keep...

warning: rant
Don’t read if you have no desire to listen to me rant about something not related to weight loss.
For the next two to three weeks, I am literally going to be pinching every penny I have. I am going to try not to spend any money, but there are a few expenses I will have to give into. My classes start in exactly three weeks, so that will be an issue because I haven’t bought anything I...
monday!
Weigh in!
Since it is the first of the month, I think it’s necessary to weigh in. I haven’t had a great last couple of days, so I knew I was going to be up. I weighed in at 183.0 pounds, which is a 2.4 pound gain from about two weeks ago. It doesn’t bother me because I know most of it is sodium weight.
I had planned to run 3 miles with my mom’s dog because he loves...
